发帖数: 2698 | 1 "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" NBA Commissioner David Stern asked
sports talk radio personality Jim Rome during a contentious interview on
Rome's nationally syndicated radio program on Wednesday afternoon.
Stern's remark — the textbook example of a loaded question, intended to
suggest that the subject has been asked a question he cannot answer without
incriminating himself — came in response to a question asked by Rome about
public perception that the NBA had rigged the 2012 NBA draft lottery to
ensure that the New Orleans Hornets came away with the No. 1 overall
selection, despite having fewer chances at the top prize than the Charlotte
Bobcats, Washington Wizards and Cleveland Cavaliers heading into the
proceedings.
The NBA has owned the Hornets since December 2010. The league recently sold
the Hornets to New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson, who will reportedly pay
$338 million to take control of the franchise. That sale is expected to be
finalized this week, according to Stern; at present, the league still
maintains control of the team.
Rome, a well-known radio host and former ESPN personality whose radio show
is syndicated nationally by Premiere Networks and who hosts a daily
television program on the CBS Sports Network, is married with two children,
according to the bio on his website.
Deadspin's Timothy Burke has audio of the contentious segment of the
interview; we've got a transcript after the jump.
During their chat on the afternoon after the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the
Miami Heat in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, Rome asked Stern about the belief
held by some — including, as Yahoo! Sports NBA columnist Adrian Wojnarowski
reported immediately following the lottery, multiple NBA executives — that
the league office put its thumb on the scales and rigged the lottery
drawing in favor of a team still under its stewardship and that it just sold
, as a favor to its new owner.
"You know, New Orleans won the draft lottery, which, of course, produced the
usual round of speculation that maybe the lottery was fixed," Rome said. "I
know that you appreciate a good conspiracy theory as much as the next guy
— was the fix in for the lottery?"
Stern bristled.
"Uh, you know, I have two answers for that," Stern said. "I'll give you the
easy one — no — and a statement: Shame on you for asking." | e*******e
