Years of therapy softened his hard edges. He ended some of his infamous celebrity feuds, like his war with Rosie O\u2019Donnell.<\/p>\n<p> Rosie O\u2019Donnell on Anne Heche Coming on Her Talk Show<\/p>\n<p> And, slowly, reporters realized he truly was an innovator. (They should have admitted it much sooner, to their shame)<\/p>\n<p> Finally, Stern began getting the media love he apparently craved all along.<\/p>\n<p>                                                    He emboldened it by tacking to the hard-Left in recent years. He worshipped all things MSNBC, blasted President Donald Trump early and often and, sadly, became a literal recluse during the recent pandemic.<\/p>\n<p> When he finally joined his celebrity chums for an outing last year he did so in a state of panic.<br \/>\n Now, the 69-year-old is complaining about something to which 99.99 percent of people can\u2019t relate. He doesn\u2019t get enough love from black basketball players.<\/p>\n<p> NBA Players Won&#8217;t Greet Howard Stern Because They Don&#8217;t Know Him | DOUG GOTTLIEB SHOW<\/p>\n<p> Stern said whenever he sits courtside at the New York Knicks\u2019 games the black players ignore him while starting conversations with fellow Knicks super fans Spike Lee and \u201c30 Rock\u201d alum Tracy Morgan.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cThese guys should hug me, too,\u201d Stern complained on his SiriusXM show, noting he grew up in a predominantly black neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p> The saddest part of his monologue came later.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cFame to me is very important\u2026 I like people to recognize me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>                                                    RELATED: BILL MAHER MOURNS LOSING HOWARD STERN AS A FRIEND<\/p>\n<p> Here\u2019s a shock jock who conquered New York radio only to go on to crush the competition nationwide. He\u2019s tall \u2013 six-foot-five \u2013 and has one of the most recognizable mugs in broadcasting.<br \/>\n He\u2019s penned best-selling books, had a number one film (1997\u2019s \u201cPrivate Parts\u201d) and generated headlines both good and toxic, for decades.<\/p>\n<p> Most people might be fed up with fame or at least eager to take a break from it. Not Stern. He\u2019s whining about not feeling the love from NBA greats and hungering for recognition.<\/p>\n<p> He\u2019s past his prime, for starters. Today\u2019s NBA greats might not even recognize him. His SiriusXM show rarely generates the attention it once did.<\/p>\n<p> Stern no longer speaks out on behalf of free speech, for example, at least not at the volume he did in the 1990s.<\/p>\n<p> Perhaps the black athletes know him a little too well.<\/p>\n<p> Stern\u2019s shtick deployed racial stereotypes for years, from his recurring \u201cBlack Jeopardy\u201d sketch to his infamous video depicting Ted Danson\u2019s blackface moment.<\/p>\n<p> Stern has shrewdly dodged Cancel Culture\u2019s wrath by embracing a hard-Left worldview. The woke mob prefers to cancel those who aren\u2019t \u201callies,\u201d and Stern\u2019s ritualistic attacks on Donald Trump and the GOP grant him a measure of protection.<\/p>\n<p> He provides a service to the Left, much like the woke mob ignored liberal propagandist Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s blackface past.<\/p>\n<p> Stern\u2019s weird complaint about black basketball players, which swiftly went viral, may test that woke shield. Few took Stern\u2019s side in the matter.<\/p>\n<p> At least he\u2019s generating headlines again, and perhaps that\u2019s what he wanted all along. Stern is no longer in the pop culture zeitgeist. It\u2019s left him behind, and now superstars like Joe Rogan, Charlamagne tha God and Tim Dillon command more attention and respect.<\/p>\n<p> They took the free speech baton from Stern, and the aging shock jock misses the attention that used to come his way.<\/p>\n<p> He\u2019s still absurdly rich and famous and boasts a broadcasting legacy for the ages. And, it would seem, it\u2019s not enough some days.<\/p>\n<p> Sounds like it\u2019s time for more therapy.<\/p>\n<p> TweetShare6ShareEmailReddit28 Shares \t\t\t \t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TweetShare6ShareEmailReddit28 SharesHoward Stern spent the first two-thirds of his career generating the worst press possible.
