What is being said?
Howard Wright: “I’d met Commissioner Stern a handful of times and you’ve got to think he shook hands with 4,000 – 5,000 guys who could run and jump. I did not have a particularly close relationship with him in the early days and then at one of the Foursquare forums I reconnected with him about ten years ago.
“I had my name badge on as representing Qualcomm and he said ‘Howard Wright – Stanford!’ and I thought how has this man who was surrounded by some of the greatest players ever remember one of the most obscure players ever, which was me?”
