V zadnjem času je imel precej zdravstvenih težav, po možganski kapi pa so ga pripeljali v bolnišnico, kjer je tudi sklenil svojo bogato življenjsko pot.
One of the most influential figures in basketball history.

Stern je vodil Ligo NBA med letoma 1984 in 2014 ter pripomogel, da je to danes najbolj organizirano in najboljše klubsko košarkarsko tekmovanje v galaksiji! Ne pozabimo, Sternu gredo tudi zasluge, da so svojo različico lige dobile tudi košarkarice, bil je tudi pobudnik za ustanovitev razvojne lige.
