FILE - In this Nov. 10, 2011, file photo, NBA Commissioner David Stern, center, speaks to the news media alongside Deputy commissioner Adam Silver after a marathon meeting with the Players Association in New York. He is not in the Hall of Fame, he never played in an All-Star game and he is about a foot shorter than most NBA stars. But try to find an NBA legacy more lasting than Stern's, who is retiring Saturday, Feb. 1, 2014 after exactly 30 years on the job. Silver will be the head of the league.
