Not far from the office where David Stern held the NBA's highest post for three decades, legends of the game joined family and friends to honor the late commissioner at a memorial service held inside Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall on Tuesday, three weeks after a brain hemorrhage claimed his life. Following a video tribute, Stern's successor, Adam Silver, was the first on a list of speakers that also included Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson and Johnson's longtime coach, Pat Riley, among others. "David said, 'It doesn't matter what people think about you, but what they feel about you,'" a solemn Silver said of his mentor in front of a massive audience, according to Yahoo Sports senior NBA writer Vincent Goodwill, one of several media members in attendance.
