Commissioner Adam Silver Joins Us Ahead Of NBA All Star Weekend In Indianapolis | Pat McAfee Show 

Yes sir! a very smart and conciencious person!

Most insightful on their lack of security as well. Lol😂

Yepppp we need an Adam Silver for the NFL. He pointed out some huge strengths of the NFL but it’s all the players honestly. The NFL needs some Adam Silver youth and vision

That had me like damn why have I never seen it that way 😂😂

Show some respect, that “thing” was Will Smith

If that’s the best commissioner in sports I’d sure love to know how- he’s been a joke

David stern is the best cpmmisoner ever. This guy has just carried on what stern did

Silver is a decent commissioner but best in all the leagues no the NFL has grown tremendously with goodell higher then ever and higher then any league during that time

@@simoncohen9323 Goodall sold his soul for the top dollar. Silver trying to initiate skill but the league lacks physicality due to the trade off (can respect it, shooting like Curry is thriving). Manfred is a dugout doofus. Hockey is hockey speaks for itself

😂😂

How much did Adam pay you to say this ?

​@@bub6010silver is literally the most politician like commissioner Granted he might be a genuine fan of the sport but so is Obama Literally no commissioner in sports is the most similar to Obama than silver

lol clearly some of yall disagree but in what way? He just seemed normal here and could talk at length about any aspect of the game. He’s also made great decisions for the league. I meant that Goodell acts like a politician in that he doesn’t ever come across as down to earth, but rather as distant from the fans and out of touch.

Pleeease!

just be a blazers fan

They will. They’ll add Vegas and Seattle in next few years.

​@@web7317na one of those will have to wait there will be one west and east team not two west

Las Vegas and Anaheim please .

I never thought I’d find another proud hornets fan🥲

pirate them bruh or use a vpn

sounds like it's a pirates life for you

Me and my bro had to get ballysports app to watch pacers game bc of the same problem smh

@@draconicdust3435 but like… i literally pay for league pass and youtube tv why do i have to do that 😔

on the flip side the ball family swearssssss by growing up doing hills but all 3 of the sons have continued leg problems, who knows what the right thing to do is, just bron and brady lol

@@kdot9613 well you’re talking about growing up exercising and Julian was talking about between games and seasons. So if they run hills between games I might think that’s a credible anecdote. They’re both one offs anyway and luck certainly plays a role. I wasn’t trying to take Silver’s claim as truth as much as I wanted to see the evidence he claimed to have. The whole thing about running hills growing up doesn’t really apply to rest not preventing injuries.

i use it everyday, don’t really run into any issues. what issues are you running into? i think it also performs better than the NFL app

Bally Sports is even worse trying to watch my local market team

Ask your local politician that

Seattle NEEDS a team back in the NBA but who would be the 32nd Team?

Las Vegas@@michaelhogg324

NBA refs are insanely soft, by far the worst out of every major sport....... if NHL ref ejected a player for yelling or something, he'd be fired lol the way the NBA allows their refs to conduct themselves is pathetic

He is a lawyer

Too much money in keeping longer season plus record Ms and contracts would be all different

@@M_A_R_K_23 considering the NFL doubles the total revenue compared to the NBA, I think the money would be alright

braindead comment. 40 games is ridiculously low for a sport that is not nearly as physically taxing as football. 72? maybe. 40 is insane.

@@CoolHandLuke196 It’s not as simple as “if the NBA does what the NFL does, then the NBA will get similar results” Average NBA arena holds just under 19,000 seats while most NFL stadiums have 60,000-70,000 seats. If the NBA switched to 40 games, they would have to increase ticket prices and TV rights prices so drastically to make the same revenue that most fans wouldn’t pay for tickets.

@@christiancantu3413 ok? and they would still sell out. and if there's less games, more people will watch live, so I don't see an issue with getting a higher television/streaming contact

Master of the NBA universe for now lol

Wdym? He can ask?

Wizards have sub 25 Tix lol

Spurs do😂😂 Cheaper actually!!

Yea im in denver and some games 30 dollars nose bleeds but still you watch the champs

You clearly don’t go to games. I got tickets for celts pacer in szn tourney for $27 a pop 😂

Depends on the match up. Boston I could get a ticket for dumb cheap if they're facing the Wizards or some bottom tier team at home.

Sounded like Smothers

Na

​@@simoncohen9323NBA fans aren't the brightest bunch Literally ratings are at all time low

hahaha based on what NBA players have never been softer, NBA refs have never been more egotistical, the NBA regular season is basically a waste of time, NBA ratings have never been lower, the NBA In-Season Tournament was one of the lamest gimmicks i've ever seen and it was only made out of a desperate attempt to try and make people care about their absolutely meaningless regular season where star players don't even feel compelled to show up and play every night because they love their "rest" and free nights off no good rivalries, nobody plays defense, nobody shows effort (because that would just mean they need more "rest"), it's just a bunch of watered down high scoring stats because all players today wanna do is jack up 3's and not play defense the NBA is a sad product these days and all these issues have been allowed to become prevalent under Silver's direction

China baaaad 😭😭😭

im only a fan of the NFL and NBA so if youre talking about the actual product then idk, but in terms of yearly revenue in order: NFL ~19B NBA ~11B MLB ~ 11B NHL ~7B WWE ~2B NASCAR is only crossing into the billions for the first time with their new TV deal. 7 and 2 dont seem that far apart but when youre talking billions thats an astronomical difference. they arent in the same universe.

a fun way to think of it is the WWE and NASCAR's yearly revenue cannot afford to buy and NFL team. The top 3 of the big 4 can afford to buy any team including the cowboys, and the NHL can afford the second most expensive team being NE.

Bingo

Goodell is by far the most popular/famous whatever out of any of the leagues commissioners. Would be way harder to work anything

So by nature the show has said 100x as many negative things about Goodell vs the other commissioners. Goodell would almost certainly decline an invitation

It's funny you think he hasn't tried to get Goodell on the show. Nfl is different

​@@peytonharris9294but wouldnt it be great for goodell and the nfl to visit place like this show to make the people understand more about the game and the league from a diffrent prospectiv? Its always easy to bash about things but if you hear things firectly from him it kinda brings a bigger understanding why things are done in a certain way.

@@Black4Cook I’m not saying I don’t agree. I would love a segment with him. I’m just saying it’s a lot harder with what he is compared to other commissioners

I doubt they’re aware, I don’t think Pat and the boys pay too much attention to the NBA… or at least I know Pat himself doesn’t.

NBA has the youngest demographic in all of sports. Younger people stream; they don't watch cable TV. Focus on how revenue hits record highs every year.

​@@jaykowsh1027yeah if its low tv ratings, that means literally nothing to the success of the NBA

They’re not worried. Global audience and revenue is so much bigger than any other league.

​@@jaykowsh1027but why owners selling teams if everything so great? Shouldn't you hold on to successful and growing businesses?

How bout you shut up and cry it’s entertaining no one is going to try hard and get hurt

Nah Adam is much better

Cope Brandon

​@@LobsterMoneyjust facts no need to cope Stern expanded the league and also saved it Adam got owner selling their teams
