David Stern Discusses Lockout With Bill Simmons


The B.S. Report is probably my favorite radio show. Bill Simmons is among one of the finest sports writers in the world and his radio is show is probably the most entertaining sports talk radio you're going to find. He asks all the tough questions, he's smart, and he's hilarious.

Recently, he interviewed David Stern on his radio show about the NBA Lockout. I thought it was a really good interview that helped me understand the lockout a little bit better. Simmons asks all the right questions and you can feel the tension from Stern when he is pressed for answers. I would definitely recommend people to listen to this if they want a better understanding of the lockout. You can listen to the podcast for free on iTunes. Search B.S. Report and you can download the David Stern podcast for free.

My favorite part of the interview is when Simmons asks Stern about why they never made a counter offer in the negotiations. Simmons makes a very valid point that in order to negotiate, both sides need to make an offer. You can totally tell that Stern is flustered when he tries to answer this question.
