Yes, Tim Duncan is a total class act.
BUT... the predominant commercial during the NFL Sunday & Monday night games shown in Singapore (Monday and Tuesday morning for us) is an NBA commercial - I think it's Nike or Reebock - with Allen Iverson at a pool table and his first words are "I'm not a gangster. I'm not a thug".
Well, if you don't have that image, then why do you have to say it first thing? That's probably the image that Stern wants to change, and the image that is turning off people around the world.
Oh I agree about the rest of the NBA... they have an image problem. But I can GURANTEE those words would not have come out of Tim's mouth had it not required "Business casual" (aka tucked in)... had they gone after just the rediculous shirts and gawdy chains and stuff... it would have been just fine...
