"I think we lost a great visionary": LeBron James opens up on David Stern

Los Angeles Lakers' LeBron James has opened up on David Stern, following the former NBA Commissioner's death. Stern had a huge role in the NBA history, contributing to its improvement from 1984 to 2014. Speaking on the former Commissioner, James has shared his thoughs after the Lakers' 117 - 107 win over Phoenix Suns. "I think we lost a great visionary. I think him and Dr. James Naismith is two of the most important people in the history of basketball…" the NBA player said, comparing Stern to the inventor of the sport. James also told about particular things, connecting him and Stern, that he will not forget. "For me personally, it was a dream come true to step up on that stage and shake David’s hand. He did tell me something, in the back, when all the rookies was in the back, he told me he wanted to wear my suit one day. I won’t forget that. He told me in the back, 'You think I can borrow that suit one day?' I do remember that. We had our battles, that’s for sure, trying to figure it out. But also at the end of the day we understood that we wanted to do whatever it takes to grow the game, and that was the one common goal from both sides. Even though we had our differences at times at the round table it was one thing, we all left that room saying 'how can we continue to grow the game and expand the game?'" he added.
