>> well that was a pretty easy decision the way that works our ceo and coowner talked to david stern. we talked to the legal people of the nba. it was pretty clear that the focus of security in boston needed to be on this event. the ime scene. and not on a basketball ga. i think people in boston wanted to be home with their families the day after the event while they' still investigating the causes. so it was a pretty easy decision and unanimous by the nba and the boston celtics that it didn't make sense to play the game. melissa: it was of course about security a but i'm sure it was about respect. >> it was out of respect for the families and everybody should be with their families in an event like this. it wasn't about the security at the garden. having the personnel be distracted from the real task which is finding the perpetrators today they're combing every area of the back bay where the bombings went off. they're looking for more clues. we felt it would be wrong to take the people off that project and have them working the garden that night. think it was a really good decision.

everybody from the wizardded management, where he played last year to david stern, the current commissionerd the new commissioner next year, adam silver, everybody has had a very positive take. >> even mlb. i saw a tweet today. there was word that there might be a -- more than this, might but a few players and some might be football players who are about to come out. have you heard anything about that? >> well, we have seen and heard a lot of talk, and leagues have been conditioning, if that's the right word, for this to happen. they have associated themselves withsome of these associations and gotten themselves in position to be able to have a place where players can good to have a reaction if they need to have a reaction. and to have this in place so that everybody is on board when it happens. jason collins said it himself. he said, my behavior hasn't changed in the past 12 years. i've taken plenty of showers, and there's never been anybody who has ever had any problem with any of it. so, he said in his behavior won't change but that's where it comes into play, because of the proximity th

it originated with the philadelphia record so that clipping was the origin of the campaign and david stern, the publisher of the philadelphia record every day in that newspaper is a manufacturer -- story how great it would be and how natural an idea for the united nations to come to philadelphia every day they found something new and the mayor had another idea that should happen at independence hall, he readily transferred that interest in to these ideas. so within a few weeks you have a big meeting of the politicians and the leading citizens of philadelphia at the time in the reception hall to push this idea along and it was there when they had to send people to san francisco to begin lobbying right away. so there is an interesting coalition of newspaper people and politicians and when talking about belmonts plateau you enter into the area of city planning for philadelphia. it went from being a sentimental reflection on this city's history to a sophisticated statistical measure argument for bringing the united nations to philadelphia it had to reshape the image it was projecting to the wo
