The many facets of former NBA commissioner David Stern were presented by selected speakers at his memorial service Tuesday, but only one referred to him as "my angel": Magic Johnson. Former WNBA commissioner Val Ackerman talked about Stern, the man who championed and pioneered the WNBA's existence in the late 1990s. Miami Heat president and former Los Angeles Lakers coach Pat Riley spoke about the battles the two had over officiating and the integrity of the game — among other topics — in a stream-of-consciousness speech whose length dwarfed all others on the day.
