Adam Silver's Legacy: The Good, the Bad, and the 76ers

In the wake of Adam Silver signing an extension to remain the Commissioner of the NBA through 2030, the gang decided to reflect on his tenure so far. They commend the Commissioner's many innovative initiatives and the skill with which he implemented the Covid bubble and handled the Donald Sterling situation. But the gang also pulls no punches in criticizing Silver for some of the problems that have arisen during his reign including his handling of Draymond Green and player discipline, the unchecked rise in offense, and the lack of real accountability for officials. Things get especially heated when Aswi vents about the ways that Silver has seemingly targeted his Philadelphia 76ers. 1:00 - Adam Silver gets a contract extension 2:43 - Flattening the draft lottery odds to combat tanking 4:42 - Play-in tournament 10:02 - In-season tournament15:36 - Changes to the NBA All Star Game20:18 - 2020 bubble in Orlando in response to Covid-19 pandemic 22:32 - Global initiatives to grow the game abroad 24:15 - Rule change to eliminate transition take foul25:03 - Donald Sterling situation 28:16 - Silver's actions against the Philadelphia 76ers 40:52 - Draymond Green and player discipline 48:53 - Unchecked rise of offense in Silver's tenure 54:08 - Lack of accountability for officials Edited by: A.C.
