David Stern took The Jim Rome Show down an uncomfortable turn today when the NBA commissioner fired a particularly personal shot at the host.
Rome asked if the NBA draft lottery was fixed, to which Stern replied, “Have you stopped beating your wife yet?”
The few minutes after the remark were spend debating the legitimacy of Rome’s question and the interview ended with Stern saying “I have to go call someone important now. Stephen A. Smith is up next.”
Now, David Stern wasn’t insinuating that Jim Rome hits his wife, rather that the question Rome posed was loaded. Regardless, it was a poor comeback that failed to satisfy the question — loaded or otherwise.
