Friends urging David Stern to run for mayor of NYC

David Stern

From NBA commissioner to Mayor of New York City? That’s what some friends are hoping will happen with David Stern.

The New York Post is reporting that friends are pushing the former NBA commissioner to run for mayor of the city. A friend cites Stern’s toughness, popularity, and background as a native New Yorker as reasons why he would be a great fit as mayor. Plus Stern has long supported the Democratic party.

Though Stern is said to be bored in retirement since ceding his throne to Adam Silver, he is not interested in running.

“I remain a happy Westchester resident and am very busy as a senior adviser to a number of enterprises,” Stern said via the Post.

Stern did say he was flattered by the thought.

The friends definitely have the right idea. Stern is a quick-thinking jerk, great businessman, knows how to bury bodies, and he is a tough guy. In other words, he’d make for a perfect politician.
