What commissioner David Stern, his staff, the league's owners and their many well-heeled partners pulled off -- starting roughly with the arrival of Julius Erving in 1976, then gaining momentum from Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, right through superstars such as Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James -- really was unprecedented, transforming the NBA from third-string into the nation's "in'' sport, selling both the steak and the sizzle.
