Was going to write about all the accomplishments of David Stern in his 30 years as NBA commissioner, but Ernie Johnson does a much better job here.

David Stern was such a history maker. When I announced in 1991 I had HIV, people thought they could get the virus from shaking my hand. When David allowed me to play in the 1992 All Star Game in Orlando and then play for the Olympic Dream Team, we were able to change the world.— Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) January 1, 2020
