Adam is more comfortable speaking in an open format about his league than any other of the top 4 sports. Says a lot about his character and a lot about the NBA and its goals.
A likable guy...seen him interviewed many times over years...good sense of humor, good conversationalist.
The guy is a cockroach who ruined the regular season.
He ruined the regular season.
@@FailedNBAComissioner you seem totally unbiased and completely reasonable
Lol? Nba is worst it's ever been. They are ejecting players 5 minutes into the game for looking at people wrong. They control the whole spread at a 95 percent clip with ridiculous foul calls. There is no defense. You can go on and on and it's all Adam silvers fault. F Adam silver and f the nba.
NBA teams in Vegas and Seattle in the Western Conference. Put Memphis or New Orleans in the Eastern Conference
Makes most sense
Fire idea, good for Memphis and new Orleans because the east is weaker
Can you imagine 8 teams tanking by January?
Move OKC to the southwest Division and also Vegas is the pacific division
@@russenterprise6502I'd get rid of divisions they don't even matter nowadays
Commissioner Adam Silver is revered. I like how he talks to the room. Makes eye contact with everyone. He’s the best
Way better than that corrupt POS David stern
Stop the glaze he’s a goofy
I do like your comment & fully agree. But you have 69 likes. Not willing to ruin a good thing.
Adam Silver shitting on the studio is top tier!!!! 😂😂😂
This guy allowed resting and ruined the regular season.
@@FailedNBAComissionerhow slow are you? That was the players sitting out. You blame Adam for the players not playing? You are slow casual fan
@@FailedNBAComissioner coach Pop is the reason you can fact check that
@@FailedNBAComissioner it already assume able that you don’t like Adam silver so you’re biased .. its not his fault
Adams candidness and lack of business jargon is a breath of fresh air.
How amazing Adam Silver is as a interviewee is astonishing to me, he's so informational and speak so well about his points. He's the best one they had on this show yet.
I could listen to Adam Silver talk all day.
he could sell water to a fish
Ask him when Seattle gets their basketball team back
Fact give us our Sonics back
They said it before that their first priority is Vegas and Seattle
😂yeah I 😍 Super Sonic by Salt n Peppa 💯
@@UnknownRaiderGuy I need to hear it again, we have the arena we're ready
@@alphahalo3471 If that happens, I wish KD gets to that team
Adam is such a brilliant man. Best commish in sports!
He’s the reason that the NBA ratings are through the roof !
cancer
What a great guest. Lots of good talking points and, tbh, engaging speaker as well.
Bring back the Sonics Mr. Commissioner, please!!!!! 🙏
Exactly if there any team that deserves NBA team first it’s Seattle
@@papboybrooklyn77should not have lost their squad
This is really good stuff here!
Great interview !
Stellar interview
what an amazing interview
I think Adam silver is the best of the big 4 commissioners. Genuinely a nice guy who shows his passion and commitment to the goodening of his product. Much respect
I love the 65 game rule. It’s one of those things that later in the future, we will learn to appreciate. The issue is that players are getting paid life changing F.U money to have a reduced role in their respective teams. And I think as a business owner, that’s the best thing you can ask for, your people to show up to work. They’re asking to show up at least 80% of the time. Any other job, showing up less, regardless of how valuable you are, you’ll be fired.
Not how it works.
People load manage for playoffs.
We're sorry for your mental retardation. We will pray for you. @@user-kg4bh1di8i
You also don’t have as high a chance to tear your acl in most other professions 😂
Most of the stars load managing are doing it with the expectation of playing MORE games in the playoffs.
@@jackjohnson8244except Kyrie Irving.
ty should take notes from connor on how to ask a question in a timely manner
Adam Silver is brilliant... the marketing approach for the next era of telecasts should cater to as many human creature comforts on a dopamine feed.
Whether that's good, socially... meeeh, but as business goes... 😮
Yeah thank him for having to bribe his millionaire players to play and play hard worst commissioner and NBA is going down all other eras evolved the league now everyone is for themselves and this clown says there more popular flat lie look it up
I live in vegas and ppl been waiting for a vegas team so i hope they do get one the whole city will attend the games for sure
Adam silver is such a great commissioner !!!
Adam Silver ARGUABLY, IS A PRIME EXAMPLE of the type of guy you want as a commissioner. I’m NOT saying he’s perfect but he looks out for the players. He banned a racist owner named Donald Sterling for life. THAT IS HOW YOU HANDLE BUSINESS. You know that wouldn’t happen in the NHL and NFL. We all know that the NFL, and NHL are savage. All the NFL cares about is the next dollar. That’s why they got nailed with that concussion settlement. Once a player gets released, the NFL treats the player like they never existed. People that I’ve met that played in the NFL told me that. The NHL isn’t much better with players losing teeth and the fist fights that go on there. The MLB has a steroid problem but I think that’s more under control now. That MLB Commissioner Mr. Manfred Jr. seems to be alright. You don’t hear much negativity since he replaced Bud Selig.
Yea he definitely well respected.....and out of all 4 major sports the NBA is of course a players league.....not saying there perfect but compared to other sports they are the best
He came out the gate swinging. Immediately earned my respect. And that was public, who knows what he’s done behind closed doors leading to getting rid of the Suns owner? He speaks plainly & clearly.
The Goat of Commissioners. Any league. Any era. He’s on the Mount Rushmore of commissioners.
This was great. Pat and Adam can talk for hours.
adam silver is the smartest commissioner in any sport bar none.
Louisville, Pittsburgh, Nashville, Montreal and San Diego deserve to have a NBA team too.
I sincerely believe that the NBA & NBC are going to reunite with each other in a new tv deal. NBA & Amazon would bond together very well.
You think they’ll be the first American league to expand to 36 teams?
@@squidMB possibly but I gotta feeling that the NHL will be the first
The NBA is blessed to have a good fella like Adam in charge
I'm willing to bet that LeBron will be the majority owner of that Vegas team
32:58 i love the fact that he says Connor's name before answering the question. Its so simple, but most guests dont know or acknowledge the other guys on the show.
Best commissioner in all of sports 🤷🏼♂️💯
This was amazing to hear you guys always bring that work
So I’ll be joining them on set soon is what I’m hearing 😂 thanks silver
Kansas City needs a NBA team again 🏀
Of course should either be called Reign or knights
There’s a weird fuzzy background noise coming out of Adam Silvers mic that comes up as he is speaking.
I love that Silver would love to say that lazy players have no facts that sitting half the season makes them better.
Adam silver is a beast. Such a genuine guy who cares about sports and people
ADAM IS THE MANNN!!!!!
Oh wow I can’t believe Adam Silver is live in person.
Adam silver is the man!
I hope the NBA returns to NBC which I truly believe they will return in the 25-26 season.
Vancouver needs our team back through expansion. Canada has proven it deserves another team.
YES!. So bummed when we lost the Grizz. Was lucky enough to see Kobe and Shaq courtside. Lol, and Vince not dunking and the crowd booing him. A home team booing a guy not on your team for not dunking was hilarious.
If anything, if there was such a Canadian city that strongly deserves an NBA team, it would be Montreal, Canada's second largest city, second largest corporate center, and media. Vancouver isn't even the third largest corporate market in Canada, that would be Calgary!
Seattle needs one
Hes right im watching from New Zealand lol
We need to be able to watch our local teams without paying $100 a month for cable!
Suns did that this year! Hopefully more teams follow
TH-cam tv is $60
Not gonna lie, after the intro from Pat, I was expecting entrance music for Adam... For some reason Eugenes entrance music came to mind
I live in the neighborhood across the street from the studio and see it almost every day. To clarify, there is intense security! Theres a giant skeletor or something at the front door and it scares the crap out of me when I see it. 😂
Have a new appreciation for Adam Silver after watching this - what an intelligent guy.
No BS is astonishing from a commish. Hats off.
65 game rule is great.
He looks like the warlock from game of thrones 😂
Honestly the future is VR headset. I watched a basketball game and it felt like i was sitting court side. It was unbelievable
Yoo how can I do this ? What VR supports it ?
Right?
@@Chozin1 it was a demo
I'm writing this halfway thru and I'd say that Adam Silver is easily the best guest on this show yet
I live in Vegas. We need an NBA team and an arena to go with the Brightline Railway they are going to break ground on right at the beginning of the Summer this year.
Adam Silver doxing the boys first up is premium 😭😂
Pat with the quick recovery "a lot of security, navy seals" lol
Big to have Adam on. Now can you guys get Goodell haha 😅
We need a team in Tampa
I never thought I would have seen this. Adam Silver is a treasure
The Las Vegas Magic (minus the Shaq jersey in the rafters).
Adam Silver is bar none the best commissioner in North American sports. What this man does for the NBA is genius
Yea he is the best
The NBA should allow all weekend, regular season games to be free as well as the Allstar weekend and nba finals. That would really help them continue to grow while still getting subscriptions from fans who want to see every game, games in other markets, etc. Because we don't see as many free games, there is a lot less hometown loyalty and therefore less people going to games in markets that aren't championship contenders.
"We got navy seals" lmao
That Chris Paul trade not going thru still got me in my feelings to this day
The clippers last season are a prime example of load management backfiring. They load managed kwahi and pg all season. They were in the top 4, then dropped to 6th. This costing them home court. Then both stars got hurt in the first game.
Real truth is 😂players don’t practice no more and hit the weight room no more.
Seattle deserves the nba team first, then LV
Seattle deserves nothing. They have Chaz Chop and the summer of love. How about they stop destroying their own city then worry about a basketball team
@@kdogglv Seattle isn’t the only city in the United States that has a fentanyl/drug/homeless problem…maybe you should do some research before you talk.
@@Mendoza1414 dude got the audacity to use that as a reason but conveniently forgot the sixers exist LOL
@@kdogglvthoughts on the Blazers?
@@nonameinserthere9809 ohh don't even get me started on Portland 😅🤣😂
Commish please put a team back in Vancouver 🙏🙏🙏
Seattleeeeee!!!
Seattle first.
Really cool just listening to him talk about all the things, smart dude & very well spoken.
I will say this, I think they need to modify the 65-game thing to include an independent/NBA commissioned doctor review when someone is actually INJURED, and those games should not count against their eligibility for the length the doctor says. Halliburton is a great example of why that should be the case. Maybe even to counteract that a bit, raise the number to a minimum of 70 games played to be eligible & the only exceptions would be for injury terms.
Example of why I feel that way: If someone that's having a truly great season and is pretty much guaranteed All-NBA etc, and then they go out for 4 weeks with something serious, they shouldn't be all but guaranteed to be excluded from awards because of that, is my perspective on that.
Expansion: 4 teams
West: Seattle and Vegas
East: Pittsburgh and Cincinnati
I only see two teams in terms of expansion and it's going to be Seattle & Vegas
I don't foresee further expansion. Anybody else would have to be via relocation!
Mexico City will get a basketball team before Pittsburgh or Cincinnati
It'll be two, and they'll likely move Memphis to the East to fit Seattle and Vegas in the west. They will also reconstruct divisions. 4 per division.
West:
Southwest:
Houston
Dallas
San Antonio
New Orleans
Central West:
Minnesota
OKC
Utah
Denver
West Pacific:
LAL
LAC
Phoenix
Las Vegas
Northwest:
Portland

NorthEast:
NY
Brooklyn
Toronto
Boston
CentralEast:
Chicago
Detroit
Indiana
Milwaukee
@@JustAnotherAlex I honestly never understood how Memphis already isnt east
@JustAnotherAlex .... i agree except I think even though Memphis is the most East....
Minnesota would be the team coming east based upon how close they are to Chicago Milwaukee and Detroit
Charlotte would be in the Southeast Division with the Florida teams & Atlanta
@@wordonthestreetpodcast5472 : Used to be the Vancouver Grizzlies before they were moved to Memphis.
I wonder what would happen if NBA went the way of the NFL and had a lot more of the games on national television? I watched a ton of NFL games through Sunday football free channels. If more people had access, then wouldn't the NBA make a lot more on advertising with the respective channels and the deals there? A thought.
Yep I've always said the same
People just don’t consume the NBA. Problem is the fans are all young and they don’t watch tv . Basketball is the “cool” thing for that age . Like rap music. Eventually people grow up and gravitate to NFL.
@@tonykiriakidis5219 lol
@@tonykiriakidis5219young kids are highlight junkie
The real answer to the Vegas expansion question that he can't say: "When LeBron James retires."
The NHL needs a Adam Silver
Gary Bettman came from NBA circles btw
I think Seattle should get an NBA team before Vegas. That should be their priority if they do wanna expand.
Tons of security, navy seals 🤣
What the nba should do is do what the mlb does and make series outve games so you play 2 games against the the Vegas team for a road-trip so ppl can make trips outve it to go see their teams play against the Vegas team. Like if the lakers play the Vegas team Thursday and Saturday I’d make a Vegas trip outve it to watch my team and enjoy vegas
We come together as a continental, if not global, collective for the Super Bowl as intensely as we do Christmas (Am I lyin'?!).
I've been saying, for the last 20 years, it should literally be an American holiday.
It should or at least superbowl monday should be considered a holiday so we can be off 😭
That's completely the sentiment, @@DeeJayTrellz... who you gon' get to do their job, effectively, on that day, anyway, when all they're mentally preoccupied with is everything around what they're doin' for the event?!
If Seattle doesn’t get a team alongside Vegas i’ll be shocked
It would never be appoved by the owners/players for financial reasons, but a 50 game season would do amazing for the watchability of the nba. Shorten the season a bit and remove all back to backs.
I wish Pittsburgh would some day get a team.
Pittsburgh has been talking about putting up big money to do research on getting a team recently
Are the Cavs or the 76ers the popular team in Pittsburgh?
@@ROG956 probably the 76ers because it’s closer and a potential NBA divisional rival
Those shirts make 3 sizes... Kevin Hart, Pat McAfee and Duane Johnson
he kinda seems like one of the boys in there, pretty remarkable tbh
Y’all arent in the Thunder dome guys
The “Real Thunder Dome” is in OKC!!
Ooooraah
Screw Vegas, what about Seattle?!??
Those are the 2 teams rumored to have expansion teams. They’ll more than likely move Nola and Memphis over to the eastern conference and bring Vegas and Seattle to western conference. Seems like a win win and win imo. Vegas and Seattle get their teams, nba gets two big markets and the eastern conference gets more competition.
They'll probably add 4 teams. What's more interesting is how they will do the draft for that.
na broo i want baltimore to get one and Louisville the reason it got relocated cause it didnt pay off
@@olegmanPittsburgh and Louisville
@@olegmanmaybe 6 - 8 cities
this is exactly why I think Jordan wouldn’t be scoring what everyone thinks he would be because the style of play, it’s that his own teammates would want to get that incentive money too and plus shorter contracts, or you really want 1 player shooting the ball 40+ times a game
Please please bring a team to KC. KC already had an NBA ready stadium and the fan base for it. Jayhawks basketball is huge, and the Big12 tourney is held there every year
Bring a NBA expansion team to Seattle and Las Vegas! Period we want the Seattle Supersonics back to the NBA!
I think they should pay the winning team like k50 a player for all star weekend so that player's actually want to play
They get 100k already. The problem is that these are the highest paid players in the legue, so it would have to be crazy amoumt to motivate them.
Mexico City, Pittsburgh, Buffalo/Rochester, Seattle
& Montreal
Vancouver!!
Adam knows his nfl
Give Vegas a team and DC a team since they leaving. Perfect matches the conferences
Bring the Seattle Supersonics back lol.
& Vanccouver!
@@georgecoumbos2511I think if Canadians had more of a presence in the NBA like the nhl, there’d be more of a push for it, but as far as I can remember, no big free agent has ever signed with Toronto, so I imagine Vancouver would be in the same boat. It’s hard to convince an American (especially one with money like a pro athlete has) to move to Canada
What about an NBA team in Tampa?
If that were to happen it would ONLY be via relocation from Orlando... which is essentially Tampa's secondary Market!
The NBA does not need three teams in Florida!
There are 3 NFL teams in FL, so thought it could work. Also I do think Orlando doesn,t need a team lol. Tampa metropolitan area is huge Vegas market is 2.2M residents, Orlando is 2.6M Tampa is 3.2M Luisville is 1.3M so that's not happening, Seattle for sure tho its 4M market Pittsburg is 2.4M@@JiKeeY202
You could add Las Vegas and Seattle to the west then move New Orleans to the East where it should really be anyway so 16 per conference.
Minny moves to the east
Vegas And Seattle Deserves A Basketball 🏀 Team .
The studio seems to be outside Indianapolis city limits, going by google and the alleged address.
65 game rule is great. And if i read correctly, there have only been 4 MVPs in history that won MVP plaing less than 65 games. 2 of them, due to a lockout and shortend saison. So, nothing really special there. But JJ Redick had a great point on the super-max rule..that is nonsense and needs to change..
On load managment, i quote Sam Mitchell: if you are tired, skip a shootaround or training instead of not playing. Thats how they did it back in the time.
It will become my fourth favorite team. And it will replace third.
1. Knicks
2. Magic
3. *Vegas*
4. Nets
Im 34yrs live alone and have no tv by choice :😂😂 i stream spectrum tv on my s9 fe tablet. So yes streaming is the future.
Biggest disappointment so far about streaming platforms vs cable is blacked out games due to cable agreements.
Screw Vegas & Seattle, give us back our vancouver team Adam!
we still talk about em, we still wear their stuff, and we sell out everytime the raps come to town now.
Love Seattle but you speaking facts!
I’m thinking if there’s an actual reason that they don’t want to, it might be cause the players don’t want it. I think, just based on free agency signings (and I could have missed something), that Toronto has trouble getting big named free agents and there’s no reason to believe that Vancouver would be different
