Another great video. Was just talking with my friends about Silver's path in the NBA, it's crazy. I didn't know the family info. He's really made it!

This was critical and also respectful. I appreciate the side of sports KZread that isnt full of reactionary slop. Like "THIS IS HOW THE DODGERS RUINED BASEBALL" or "THE MIAMI HEAT RUINED NBA" "Kevin durant is the WORST" headlines are so wack. Great video
Great video, keep grinding, your production and story telling is one of the best on youtube even though you are so new, keep posting and im sure youll gain a huge audience !

Now I get why the Knicks get all the call at home during the playoffs. Adam Silver's favorite team... :P
0:00 that just sounds like the story of a spinoff movie in the non-existent NBA cinematic universe
The family last name was Silverstein. They changed it. Thats all you need to know about the grifter commissioner.
silver a clown "im all for you saying what ever you want you have freedom of speech" proceeds to use freedom of speech calling out China Silver: hey im gonna ask you to not do that... not to mention the non stop ads and promos and tv spots marketing to young viewers to gamble "tonights game is brought to you by fan duel, sign up and deposit $100 to get a 100% match its basically free money" wants to make things more even and inclusive but doesnt care that likely impoverished people will see that and try to get "free money" and will cost them their shirt, but silver dont care hes getting that sweet ad revenue.

Silver is a diehard knicks fan? The officiating for NY in the 2024 playoffs makes way more sense now.
This man is destroying the game I love! 😂
Adam silver has helped destroy basketball as we know it. I'm pretty sure he is from another universe far far away. Stern looks like Jesus compared to silver.

Lmao he's the best weve had. Fair to the athletes. Weird how fans worship the owners and can't admit that the most important part of the game is the people, the athletes. They make billions. So strange how people like you will make massive statements and have no data, no experience or explanation. Just "they're RUINING things" as if that's a coherent thought. He is actually making the refs call things coherently instead of all over the place. The most fair commissioner we've had for the NBA and you guys are still having your meltdowns

@@3mmanwel Many attribute Adam Silver for the lack of enforcement of the rules (2010 decade flopping penalties rarely occurred, Lebron and CP3 never got punished at all for flopping), lack of accountability from both players and officiating, and player empowerment getting out of control. There's more I haven't mentioned, but these problems I listed were the ones I've heard the most.
