01/02/2020 The Usual Suspect Hour 2

The guys began hour 2 discussing the legacy of David Stern and his impact with the NBA. David Stern was an NBA Commissioner who passed away yesterday at the age of 77. They argue he was more than a basketball guy. He was also a marketing guru. Condolences to all of his family and friends. David Stern passed the torch to Adam Silver and Silver waived the requirement for athletes to wear team colors. NBA players are allowed to express themselves with their gear while the NFL has restricted athletes to do so. They also talked about shoe endorsements and how much athletes can carry each brand (James Harden opportunity with Adidas, Kevin Durant's with Nike, and Steph Curry's UnderAmour deal).
