The fans at the Barclays Center for the 2013 NBA Draft gave Commish David Stern hell all night, booing him every time he spoke on his final Draft. Stern took it in stride, encouraging the noise, but the Draft had a surpsie tribute for Stern. As he introduced the incoming Commissioner Adam Silver, who immediately inhereted the boos after years of applause whenever he called the picks for the second round, Hakeem Olajuwon came out on stage to meet Stern. Hakeem was Stern's first pick in 1984 and he wore the "same" tux. Nice touch.
Nice moment, Commissioner Stern, Adam Silver & Dream.

Hakeem Olajuwon, the first player announced by David Stern in 1984, comes back to greet him on stage after pick 30 in 2013. Pretty cool.

Well done. Stern's final handshake at the draft was a Dream Shake.
