You know who is probably not having a relaxing summer? NBA commissioner David Stern. The league’s still locked out, talks with the union don’t seem to be going anywhere fast, and Turkey is apparently an appealing destination these days.

Yesterday, Dallas Mavericks center Tyson Chandler talked about his NBA-less life. On today’s BS Report, David Stern gives us an update on the lockout, and talks about whether officials are discussing contraction. Serious question: Was Stern’s lockout beard better than Simmons’ mustache?
