Pretty cool to see Adam sitting down for an hour long podcast with JJ. Hard to imagine any other commissioner doing something like this.
Maybe you should work on your imagination.
@@beedebawng2556😂 starting fights like nothing
Dana White has been on plenty of podcasts
Dana is an anomaly@@cartierr6717
@@cartierr6717Dana white isn’t a commissioner of mma, he’s the president of the UFC. He’s more like a fight promoter not a commissioner
Getting Adam Silver on the show is super dope
Massive flex 💪
@@GatherYeRosebudsWhileYeMay Why? Silver is a joke. Stars don't care and the NBA now has a in-season tournament. Why? Stop being a joke. 🤣
@@cesco1990you’re the kind of dumb fan JJ made fun of earlier in the episode lol.
True, silver is very underrated imo. Ppl seem to have given respect to David stern more after he became the late David stern, but I think that if silver was much stricter on Ja that he would have more appreciation. I think he does a great job n think he’s gonna do better the more he learns how to navigate the times rn. It’s easier to be a better commissioner without Kobe, shaq, ai, David Robinson, so many other greats, and the goat while dealing with tv screens being improved vs trying to figure out how ppl now consume sports in many different ways. He’s got a tough job fasho, bet he gets paid what he deserves cause this ain’t easy work, so much weight on his position man. Shoutout to Adam Silver, and to JJ.
I thought you write snow..
Damn, I can't believe I almost forgot about this. I think the fact that almost nobody talks about this anymore is an indicator to how well Silver handled this.
Easy to forget when it doesn't affect you, isn't it?
@beedebawng2556 oof, you may be right about that.
Do you still think about this?
@@beedebawng2556if you’re black and you still think about Donald sterling then you got other things goin on 😂 dudes been out the league 10 years now.
@@SamUHells nah fr 😭completely forgot about this
@@beedebawng2556 u have some mental issues kid lol
Crazy to think he was 2 MONTHS onto the job and had to make a very immediate decision that would send a clear message for the future. It could have gone very wrong if he hesitated.
So you don’t think his good friend and former commissioner, David Stern, gave him any advice or direction? Hmm
Swift, decisive action that looked obvious in hindsight but very difficult to make at the time. Booting out a billionnaire who had been entrenched in the NBA for decades knowing that significant litigiation would follow. Strong start to who is widely considered to be the best commissioner ever in the four major sports.
Stark contrast to how the NFL and Goodell handled Dan Snyder.
he looks like a alien
@@NN-mo6xw I wonder what you look like. Only insecure people discuss another's appearance
What's strange is how he still gets booed like all the other commissioners in every other sport.
I don’t know much about sports commissioning and don’t watch other sports but is Adam Silver really that good? Not hating on him just saying I have no frame of reference
I think Silver knew that if APPROPRIATE action wasnt taken, a walkout wouldve been inevitable.
In those situations, you dont need anyone to tell you that. It was obvious what the outcome would be.
Regardless, Silver made the correct decision. Swiftly. And he hasnt missed a beat since. Fantastic commissioner.
fantastic comish? the league is in shambles but somehow still have the money to fork out.
@@HumanOptimization "the league is in shambles".......how?
@@HumanOptimizationwe’re waiting how is the league in shambles because i think it’s in a good place
@@lilythethirdnobody watches the games
Viewership is down like crazy since the Lebron Heat team. Bro since MJ left viewership was cut by a third….the league isn’t as healthy as everyone wants to say. Yes we have online platforms to view stuff but there aren’t 2.9 million users streaming nba games illegally. It’s not in a good place.
He is far more human than I had ever imagined him to be lol
I genuinely think he gets hate because he looks weird. Also the whole all-star game stuff, which I get. But aside from those two issues, the dude has done a simply fantastic job. Major kudos to him. And if he manages to fix the all-star game, for example by making it Team US vs Team World, then he may become the greatest commissioner for any major sport, ever.
That's a you problem though.. Thinking someone isnt "human" just because he's the commish is insanely retarded
@@sgrey9181he also gets hate for making the league soft with the fouls and all these techs for actually showing human emotion and think dana white has that one wrapped up over silver
When it comes to commissioners Silver is by far the most human of them all. Especially compared to Godell and Manfred
Adam Silver looks like a genius.
Silver saying "FOR LIFE" lives in my head rent free anytime I got to say something dramatic I got to add "FOR LIFE"
Yoooo facts lmaoooo
It crazy he talked to everyone under the sun and no one could give him a clear answer. I understand why they wouldn’t. It is his decision to make and it was the right one! adam silver has done thing for the nba that no other commissioner would ever do and we can’t not respect him for it.
I remember this situation and I would say it was pretty close to a walkout by possibly that Friday if something didn’t get done
Loving the inside baseball look into league politics. Cool to see behind the scenes of how the league is ran
Here’s 🥂 to a million subscribers , JJ deserves it the best basketball analyst out there!!!
At the moment it felt like a super big deal, looking back at it the league and Mr Silver handled it almost perfectly considering what happened. There is no perfect solution to racism but this was very well executed by the commissioner.
Adam is as principled as a person in power can get
I wouldn't be so sure.
lol this is funny
so, not very?
oy vey
I don't think he's principled, I think he's smart
JJ you might of moved into first place as far as basketball podcast you got the commissioner it’s not often we get to look behind the curtain
Kevin Garnett already did so.
@@beedebawng2556 why u always hating dawg
Adam seems like a cool down to earth dude, someone you can have a cold beer and a good conversation with.
The NBA had been trying to get rid of Sterling for two decades. None of the owners liked him. He’d even sued the league so he could move to L.A. This gave them the excuse to finally rid themselves of a creepy guy. .
Keep in mind he was setup by V, she was in on it and so was the league
@@Skillsvalinhe got paid who cares,
because it is not about what he did, it is about being setup. If the same thing happen to you, you won't be saying who cares.@@davidchandler6885
@davidchandler6885 it was his team, it's not about the $$
The way silver handled sterling was a masterclass in leader ship.
It's kind of wild to hear the politics that went into dealing with something like this. Lmao im not black but my immediate reaction to hearing that tape would be "get his ahh outta here" 💀 I'd announced that so fast idc if it was or wasn't within my "power" lol
Yes, but are you okay with your private conversations being recorded without knowledge?
@@PancakeProductyes because I have nothing to hide! If you are a person who does have something to hide then I can perfectly understand why you wouldn’t want your convos recorded 💯
@r.i.p.kobeandnipsey8647 the same person who's ok with Facebook having access to all your data
@@r.i.p.kobeandnipsey8647Sterling was baited into that conversation. Listen to the tapes, she was looking for him misspeak and it worked
@Skillsvalin If true, she could only have thought to do so because she knew what his responses would be. That's on him.
Swift, but I’m sure he knew it would put him in a great light. I’m sure after the legal team gave him then 👍🏿 it was done for dude.
That Smart Water bottle is super distracting 😂
Silver seems very forthcoming on this topic, which you got to respect.
best commissioner of the 4 major sports
Adam silver is a legend
Why?
Adam Silver is a great guy
I was at work that morning.I remember the exact spot I was standing when I heard it
One thing I'm curious about is how much of this "general Sterling situation" was he prepped about from Stern before taking over? There must have been some emergency awareness and preparation, surely?
So nice of Nosferatu to give JJ an interview
Sterling was banned for life at 80 years old lol and got basically a 2 billion dollar severance when he sold the Clippers. So not a whole lot of justice happened there
2 billion at the time of sale but his family lost multiple billions plus future earnings because of it.
2 billion at the time of sale but his family lost multiple billions plus future earnings because of it.
WE are ALL in this together. And for my black/ Hispanic / indigenous brothers and sisters this is what I have to say. Let continue to make changes from within. I have heard and seen a lot of things about if you try to work things from the inside you will be changed, and I get that. But this is even political, stop thinking that something is owed to us and let’s articulate how it is OURS.
the only real complaint i have about the nba product is the constant fouls/technical fouls. if that could be remedied, it'd be my favorite sport to watch.
Great discussion. The league should be aware of these risks as the Adelson’s take ownership of the Mavericks. They are not high-character people and could be just as bad an owning family.
I love how he didn’t dodge trying to talk about it. It is a significant part of his tenure and he isn’t running away from that
The league is lucky to have Adam Silver as the commissioner, legend
Adam handled that situation perfectly.
Ban Sterling and bring Steve Balmer to the league was a huge upgrade for the NBA
People hated Sterling way before the scandal.
Mr. Silver was like oh snap I can do that?? Sterling was lucky that it wasn’t Mr. Stern.
Wow 2 months as commissioner, faces a huge scandal that not even fellow billionaire CEOs knew how to deal with, and he was still able to make the best decision for fans and players and for the culture the NBA wants to promote with swift action on his part.
i was in elementary when that happened
Let refs Call games fairly Adam
that wouldn't fit his narrative to have as many different teams get media coverage as possible. Hence the five diff teams winning the past five years. Scripted! LMBOOOO
As (unfortunately) a lifelong clippers fan, I will forever be grateful to Silver for this ruling, rot in hell donald
Adam is such a wise dude. Amazing commissioner.
What about Montrez Harrel? Why don’t NBA players live by these people?
LOVE
Donald Sterling isnt the only one. Most of the owners probably have said alot of things too
Donald Sterling was an absolutely terrible owner, and Clippers are cursed, not only because of him and how truly awful he is, but because he stole them away from San Diego. And despite the fact that the Clippers now have a great owner, I'm not sure that the curse will be lifted...until they go back to to San Diego.
Hitman gettin old
Jjs prices ridiculous 😂
best commissioner in NA sports history
Silver should ban Redick for life
He only banned Sterling to save the value of the franchises. Didn't hurt Sterling because he sold for 2 billion. Force selling of property. Reminds me of lands being force sold.
No this game is a Key part of black culture and it’s a majority black league there is zero place for racism in sports and Donald was not fit to own an nba team the fans wanted him gone the team hated him the city hated him the league was also on lookout because it is a business and they have to protect their investments Donald was not fit to be an owner if he cannot tolerate 85% of the league
@@i_fuze_hostages6 you just proved my point. It has always been and will be about protecting the asset. The other stuff is just a sideshow to maintain sponsors. Caring about black people is way low on the ladder.
Funny how Sterling isn't even his real name, its Tokowitz
Give me a billion for my JV team and I'll never come back too. 😂😂
Silver is a W commish
What about ban players who beat women?
ADAM SILVER IS GOD
Blasphemous -Stephen A
what did Donald Sterling say? i dont keep up with NBA drama
Dont bring black people to my games, dont walk around with black people and something about not letting magic johnson come to clippers games if i recall correctly
Silver handled it about as best as he could - and only people unhappy with how he dealt with it at the time was Donald Sterling.
Ahhhh Donald Sterling…before I address that it is a good move to have Adam Silver now truth be told Donald Sterling is an example of the lack of equity in the NBA.
Donald Sterling was always a scumbag racist and the league knew that for decades and did nothing but allowed his offense and marketed his garbage organization. His sleazy side chick is the hero because once she aired him out the league had no choice but to play hero as if they were against him. He has a record that is undeniable and David Stern knew very well about his cases of discrimination and his inappropriate behavior.
Where on earth was the ADL with action plans for the hateful Donald Sterling.
I forget the clowns name who owned the Sun’s it was the same thing he was foul for years but once his partner said he’d sell his part of the team if he stays then ahhh this guy has to go.
Crazy thing is he's gotten 2 awards from the NAACP and had sent hundreds of African Americans to school for free. People don't know Sterling
Ya I'm same sterling wasn't what they but alot of it sounded fishy, 90;yr old man, who knows, I don't think. The guy from sins I am not sure while story but don't think he was fascist but I could be wrong. The league is majority African is u have to proper conduct about racial vocabulary n beliefs but we never know the truth
I’m not sure what that has to do with the wrong that he did and according to you he sent black people to college but did not want them at his basketball games unless they were playing for him. Overwhelming majority of the times charitable works are done to avoid the tax of those funds that would not be spent. I heard him speak for himself and that’s enough for me.
I thought Sterling was dead 😅
the funny thing is that Sterling didnt mind his GF sleeping with bros....lol....lots of fake outrage, but well handled, I mean F that guy
The Clipper Players shouldn't have played the game....
Adam a real N!
Smart water is terrible JJ
Damn it took u 3 days sounds like u rubbed it off til u saw the boycotting
didn’t really answer the question
The players own the league not the owners… owners can be replaced, if all players walked out then it woulda been a real shitshow
You should have ask Adam Silver about how the NBA is trying to dismantle Ice Cube leauge The Big 3. 🔥🔥🔥
Ultimately Sterling got the last laugh, he received 2 Billion for a poverty franchise & a decade later they still haven’t won anything
Yeah but uh… he was racist! 😂
Sold for 2bn a team that has a valuation of almost 5bn nowaways
The clippers have more than doubled in value since then.
@@hardliketissues7463yeah it's called Biden inflation d****** everything is went up including the cost of everything so what f****** does it matter if you're f****** value of your s*** you have goes up but if the value of everything you got to buy f****** quadruples because I'm f****** n***** loving f****** Democrat has to f****** help destroy our currency
Adam gets a tough rap because hes been comissioner during a large player empowerment era. More protection of its players , a huge increase of pay, players getting into more and more political discussions the list goes on and all these things have accumulated to create more drama around the NBA so more people watching but the quality of the game itself has dissapated.
The draft is rigged and hidden behind closed doors to be manipulated. The refs have got worse and most of the players are more interested in money rather than titles. The players have become rather spoiled and he has to deal with that as well as keeping owners relativly happy.
Its a thankless job.
Adam silver for president?
Yeah; if i sold my team for billions; yeah ban me too.
Ban James Dolan.
Weird I didn’t realize 80% of the NBA came from Africa. I thought most players are from the US
Not necessarily from Africa but they are African by blood
Only W Adam Silver ever took as the commissioner. He’s still is trying to coast off of this but no, worst commissioner in any sport during my lifetime.
IF/When/Who will be the NBAs first black commissioner?
Lebron lol
Lol, he had to handle it that way to maintain our current situation and heading. JJ, since youre a dad, you should consider a escape plan. Cuz the US is screwed, by your masters. It's on you whether you want to escape.
poor donald sterling. Only said what the rest of the league was thinking
😂😂 yeah that's why most of owners agreed with the nba haha
they have to otherwise they would also get in trouble/be ostracized dummy@@matthewwilliams4168
That Sterling was the funniest ever.
“HE’S GOT AIDS!”
Bro, freedom of speech!
Kind of strange hearing how it made a white player feel...I'm sure there were a myriad of black players saying they indeed would protest or boycott if the situation wasn't handled.
wtf does this comment even mean?
@@Bookake-2 you're prob yt.
Adam should open up about black players racist against other races and nationality. It can't go one way. They should also talk about why they decide to go political in a illogical manner.
Maybe you should reflect on your own racism.
Or yours. Keep digging your head into the sand. @@beedebawng2556
Stop it! Other races didn't endure slavery and racism for years! Of course, all racism is bad but not a fair comparison!
Maybe you should get a education. You claiming black people are not racist in the NBA? Where are you living in? A hole?@@beedebawng2556
The problem wasn’t that Sterling was racist, the problem was that he was a racist owner with black employees. How can u have so much hate in your heart but yet have the audacity to smile and laugh and joke and employ somebody that u hate? It’s a moral contradiction, are u really this slow or it’s an act?? Bruh, it’s cause and effect. Get mad at the people who started racism and maybe just maybe it wouldn’t exist
You shouldn’t want credit for a kinda obvious decision.
I dont think he was looking for credit and praise. He was more so trying to dispel the idea that he was pressured into forcing Sterling out. A subtle but measurable difference.
DID HE ASK FOR CREDIT? Good LAWD u people.
Why haven't they excluded the owner from the New York Knicks so quickly then since we all know the New York Knicks ain't going to be nothing unless they get a new owner because nobody even likes that owner
u can't take away a team just because you don't like what they are doing on the court.. Sterling's case is different because there is potential legal ramifications.. plus the owners are the one that have the power to take away a team from an owner.. not Silver..
Can we take Israel back on the same grounds??
The longer you approach the million the sadder it looks
he looks like a demonic alien in a al pacino movie
The league's silence on the genocide of Palestinians or their silence on the people of Hong Kong resisting against their government is as deafening as their words. The truth is not what they do tell, the truth is what they DON'T tell you
The league was quiet when the British was suppressing the local and never gave them a voice in their own policies.
More import the league has been quite about africa
Why are we even talking about this? Move on
start a podcast
Show us on the doll where the topic hurt you.
Donald Sterling was BASED...
Donald Sterling is a racist SOB who was a 💩 stain on NBA history
Neither of these two are smart enough to have this conversation. There is so much more to this story than the obvious but these two arent deep enough thinkers to get there
And you are? Lol. Ones a commissioner the tech companies are after, and one is an NBA with a successful podcast. Then there’s you, on CZcams watching them chump
okay albert einstein
@@NamTran-zz6by The fact you don't see the obvious questions that would be asked by any real interviewer means you're dumber than everyone here
bro adam silver is literally the comissioner and went to chicago law. goofy ahhh comment
@@popeagapitusi8 Youre right, I take it back. JJ is a shitty interviewer, would never ask a real question that could make the commissioner squirm... and its you that are stupid because they can have such a lame interview where they dont address anything real and dopes like you will defend it. My mistake, nobody is as stupid as you thats for sure
Let me ask you all this question… don’t you think it’s very strange that the last 2 commissioners of the NBA are both Jewish when there are literally NO Jewish players in a league of 85-90 percent Black dudes??? Make it make sense! 💯
Another Cryrie Black Israelite 😂😂😂 ignore this delulu
what? who cares bro? he and david stern have been really good comissioners all things considered, what relevance is their ethnicity at all?
I guess the NBA doesn't care about the 1st amendment
Hmmph. I'm boycotting NBA soon or I'm better than former number 3 pick on team I left for salary/perks incentive. Silvers boss knows this Amen.
