N.B.A. Commissioner David Stern told The New York Times he saw the move as a positive for the league. He said the presence of a player like Childress could only help promote basketball in Europe, where soccer remains the primary sport. “We think that this actually may encourage more people to play basketball, and in the long run it’s only going to benefit the N.B.A. It encourages more kids to bounce the ball, rather than kick it.,” Stern said. |  oook . . . |
