Christmas day - national game - highlight game for the NBA's new star Wembanyama. Deck will he stacked against us by the league. Focus on winning the Toronto game - no let downs. Barnes is back.
Silver sitting in his lair, dressed head to toe in his evil black tunic with a white cat on his lap. No fur on him though. A wall of TV monitors adrorn his wall. He is Blowfeld from Ian Flemings James Bond. His bald resemblance to Dr Evil not lost on him but little he can do. There is no "Mini-Me" and he is not an idiot. Still, he smirks to himself in his swivel chair with fixed Botton console for convenience as is the preference for such super wealthy evil doers. He takes great comfort of his control that he can simply flip a switch and his minions in Secaucus New Jersey, just a few miles away from the NBA offices were the real power exists, he can control the out come of any game in the NBA. Fans the world over thinks refs are crooked or motivated by gambling opportunities. Not at all. Silver had cranial implants installed into each ref and can simply speak commands into the minds of a ref.
Silver alone in his thoughts thinks of all the fans in MSG for the 12noon start. Yes, 20,000 fans obediently in there seats and not home Christmas morning, instead getting currency drained in the worlds most famous arena paying hundreds of not thousands per seat to pay homage to the magnificent gods that stand tall and can fly in the air! In San Antonio it is 11am. children Still in pajamas playing with toys, parents enjoying the family time and all the while Silver plots............How to introduce the Alien, the one from the land of Fred Weis to America!
"I'll fuck over the fans in Manhattan! it is what is expected of me from paranoid knick fans anyway! No matter a contending team in NY is good for the league, no, I"ll defy logic and common sense and control the game from my perch of conspiracy! Down 28%? Ha I'll show them. Wemby will succeed and what of the knick fans? No doubt they will forget this little display as they go back to smoking weed and indulging in the luxury of gifts and food. All he while, millions of fans will be in awe and adapt Wemby as the new Lebron and ask for his jersey, sneakers, and use his dandruff shampoo. Rinse, Lather, Rinse, repeat! Muhahahahaha!
He looks over to the corner of his room and confers with his top advisor. Not a human, but a curious looking device with a glass dome with lights and probes filled with a thick liquid preserving what is David Sterns brain!. Flipping a switch from his cool arm console and speaking into a very thin microphone attached to a very graceful and even elegant extension that elevates the microphone from the console he speaks "David, can we make wemby into the new Jordan?" Sterns response is not in his voice as we remember it. Silver had it changed from a nasal NY accent to one more elegant. He chose an AI version of Hugh Grant. While not the most elegant or one that exudes authority he wanted one that was of the people and easy to dismiss if he choose to ignore the advice. Silver ponders the choice and instead looks at the menu of other voices he could use. Gilbert Godfrey? too grating? Marv Albert? No, Dolan is not listening so thats not the best, Trump? Too embellishing, He settles on Doris Burke as her words are tonally soothing. "Adam, He is French, and while thats a good thing the German Market won't respect him enough. The Brits, well, they too won't respect the Frenchman so the best way to promote him is to continue making him a Texan. After all, thats why we put him in Texas. In time We'll get him traded to the Los Angeles, not the Lakers, thats too cliche, we owe Balmer one."
Silver agrees then asks "David, what of the Knicks, we say were are fans, but......", The Brain responds: "We gave Charles Dolan Ewing. We did open a window for them when we suspended Jordan but most unfortunate Hakeem came to power! Just so much we can do! Try as we did to remove Dolan we do owe them and its good for the league. Im thinking we get OKC one, then knicks. Spurs are a still a year away but we'll do his ACL, then get him traded to LA, in 5 years. Spurs can afford more heart ache. Knicks can't."
