    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.

      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.
