David Stern Dares Invoke The Name ‘Eddy Curry’

The Washington Post's Mike Wise shared an anecdote from the league's lockout meeting around All-Star Weekend, and it's totally sadcakes. Mark Cuban complained about having to play Tariq Abdul-Wahad to sit around and be injured. A union lawyer countered that J.J. Barea was only making $1 million to do God's work in Cuban's Mavericks backcourt. David Stern swooped in for the fatality.

"All right, you want to go tit for tat, I'll go tit for tat," Stern said, according to the participants. "I'll see you J.J. Barea and raise you Eddy Curry."
