Su Wan's words stunned David Stern for a moment.
From his point of view, Su Wan shouldn't have been that kind of person.
Such a flamboyant character should have loved to take the limelight at times like this, shouldn't he?
Yet, he had given his first Championship MVP speech opportunity to Reggie Miller?
Even though David Stern had decided to praise Su Wan, a rookie who had equaled "Magic" Johnson in his debut season, he saw his personality as a hidden problem.
Fortunately, he now followed a "broad-net, multi-star development" approach, a bloody lesson taught by Michael Jordan's retirement at his peak.
Those two years saw the NBA's market value plummet.
Since then, David Stern had learned not to "put all his eggs in one basket."
Kobe's deep troubles in Eagle County further proved this point.
But now, Su Wan's modest gesture made David Stern feel the need to reevaluate him!
