David Stern, the NBA commissioner who oversaw the sport's biggest stage for three decades, has died, the NBA announced Wednesday. He was 77.

Stern died as a result of the brain hemorrhage he suffered approximately three weeks ago. His wife, Dianne, and their family were with him at his bedside, the NBA said.

RIP. He made the NBA what it is today.
