Last week, in a bizarre interview with USA Today, David Stern attempted to expound on the theme of the league?s ?Where Amazing Happens? marketing campaign.

?Amazing is where 81 points is scored,? Stern said, referring to Kobe Bryant?s performance last season with the Los Angeles Lakers. ?It?s where Ben Wallace?s hair happens, where Yao Ming happens, where caring happens."

?Where Donaghy happens, where clubbing happens, where registered weapons happen. We invite our fans to mesh up whatever happens. It?s all there. We are the absolute reflection of what?s going on out there in the world. Anyone who doesn?t think so doesn?t know what?s going on in the world.?
