Was talking about him earlier in the season, dude should have been in the regular rotation for Minnesota but Thibs....

Y’all are always rumored to get superstars and it rarely happens they’re using y’all as leverage. Y’all the Jets of the NBA.

This was hurtful and unnecessary fam

He showed out in the 3rd qtr. I got hyped when he ripped Harden trying to cross him over.

 

[wadupdoe!313]

That's how you play defense against harden.

Don't let him dribble the air out the ball between his legs.

Get up on him. His moves are deliberate.

Too many teams let him get into his rhythm

 

[Sony Montana]

Scottie shoulda just said what fully on his mind. Should have been like "i dont think Bron isnt the player I was"

Disagree but no need to debate it though cause I can respect that stance.

 

[Sony Montana]

Teams have already played 2/3 of the season.

That's a crazy amount of games before the break.

Most of these teams have been playing really lazy these last 2 weeks cuz they exhausted right now

Maybe all star break should be two weeks after new years?

Adam Silver hasn't 'given any thought' to inquiries by NFL owners

NBA commissioner Adam Silver says he hasn't "given any thought" to inquiries by NFL owners about his willingness to switch leagues and become commissioner of the NFL.

While Silver did not explicitly confirm that he had been approached by NFL owners, sources close to the situation told ESPN that several NFL owners have tried to persuade Silver to run their league over the course of his five years as the NBA's commissioner. Silver has also been approached by a number of Fortune 500 companies, according to sources.

"I'll just say I have not given it any thought," Silver told ESPN about his reaction to those job opportunities. "I feel very fortunate to be in this position. As a longtime fan, as a longtime league employee, the opportunity to become the commissioner of this league was beyond anything I even ever dreamed of as a kid.

"I've loved every day I've been in this job, and I think there's nothing but enormous opportunity ahead for this league. And ultimately, I realize I'm just passing through like every player who's gone through this league and ultimately like every owner, and I feel an enormous obligation to the fans and to this greater NBA family to do my best and try my hardest every day. But that's where 100 percent of my focus is."

ESPN's Don Van Natta and Seth Wickersham reported in August 2017 that a confidant of an NFL owner reached out to gauge whether Silver would be interested in running the NFL, to which Silver immediately said no.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell signed a five-year extension worth up to $200 million in December 2017. Silver signed a five-year extension with the NBA in June that runs through the 2023-24 season.

Silver is celebrating his five-year anniversary as NBA commissioner this weekend at the All-Star Game in Charlotte, North Carolina. He officially succeeded David Stern as the league's fifth commissioner on Feb. 1, 2014, and held his first State of the NBA news conference on Feb. 15 of that year at the All-Star Game in New Orleans.

League revenues have increased from $4.8 billion to a projected $9.1 billion in Silver's five years. Team valuations have increased by 267 percent, from an average of $509 million in 2013 to $1.9 billion in the latest Forbes Magazine valuations.

The NBA has been a vanguard in embracing esports, legalized sports betting, allowing patch advertisements on jerseys, reform of the draft lottery and rules changes to improve game flow and referee accountability.
