NBA commissioner Adam Silver has finalized a contract extension that will keep him in his current role through the 2023/24 season, according to a press release from the NBA.
Silver, who became the NBA’s commissioner in February 2014, previously served as the league’s deputy commissioner and chief operating officer under David Stern.
The NBA has enjoyed a period of significant growth under Silver’s guidance. The league agreed to a record-breaking TV contract salary cap during Silver’s first year as commissioner, and the salary cap – which came in at approximately $58.7MM at the time of Silver’s promotion – is poised to surpass the $100MM mark for the first time for the 2018/19 season.
Silver’s new extension figures to keep him under contract through the end of the current Collective Bargaining Agreement. The current CBA – which took effect last summer – technically runs for 10 years, but the NBA and the players’ union will have an opportunity to opt out of the agreement in 2024.
I hope the extension gives him enough money to buy a bike pump to inflate his head
Anyone is better than Stern, so maybe yay.
He needs to get a loser’s turny started to determine the draft order. Single elim, alternating for 10 days. Punish the tankers who didn’t use the season to get it together.
Worst extension in pro sports history. Joke of a commissioner. #facepalm
Goodell? Hello?
my favorite commish by far. he works for the owners but you can tell he supports the players as well. the NBA is in good hands
Agree he seems to be doing better than Stern, & seems more likeable. Only thing is stop messing with the leagues traditions, like no conferences, tourneys & other silly things, just stick to what has been done for decades & fans love.
