it was a JOKEEE peopleeee. They were asking Stern if there was anything he wanted to look into and change after this year, he said blah blah blah, Im not going to do anything just to satisfy JVG. He laughed it off and so did JVG.
It was Stern deadpan humor, knowing JVG was calling the game, and JVG played along. 0.001 reading on the animosity scale. That they can joke about it speaks well of both men. That is absolutely, 100%, incorrect. Donaghy backed up JVG's assertion that there was a memo about calling Yao more tightly on moving screens. That was it.
Also, Aaron Brooks said after the game we have no chance of winning! WHAT THE HECK IS THAT AARON! NO HEART OF THE CHAMION I SEE! (/sarcasm making fun of other peoples lack of ability to see sarcasm)
