NBA Commissioner Adam Silver On In Season Tournament Success, NBA Being So Big on Social Media 

“Long time listener - first time caller”. Love it!

Adam Silver giving a James Naismith history lesson on PM show. Peak basketball content 💯

Yooooo pat got the commish on, ain’t no way this is happening without that ESPN logo on the screen for all the people always hating on pat for going wit ESPN. This is the type of perks that gives you.

Goodell take notes. Get your ass on the progrum

Anytime I stumble across media with him in it he always comes across as someone who takes immense pride, pleasure and responsibility in his job. Seems like a standup guy as well who just loves the sport of basketball. Hats off comish! Hammer dahn

Adam Silver is the best commissioner in sports.

Pat and gang, give yourselves a pat on the back, pun intended, your show is indeed growing. Thanks for having a non football guest on

Adam Silver seems like he’d be a great boss to work for

Awesome content from you guys. Appreciate you and all you do!

Adam Silver is a great commish but damn he always looks scary

Adam Silver looks like a boss vampire.

Amazing interview. This show is glorious.

adam silver is so much better of a commissioner than roger goodell.

Feel like NBA is in good hands with Adam Silver. Dude is sharp

This was a great interview. I do not watch the NBA, but this is what the commissioner should be like, he is very passionate about his league and tells you he wants it to move forward, change, and try new ideas, etc. Unlike some other commissioners who seem to be there for their ego and money only.

PAT GOTTA DO THE CELEB GAME!!!!

As a diehard bbq fan, this is the best guest you guys have ever had Yes I meant NBA. Yes i also refused to edit it 🍗 🍖

It would be cool of they could invite other teams from other leagues. I have no idea how that would work, but i would not mind seeing how spain would do against nba teams

Love It Pat ThePatMcAfeeShow Bro Let's Gooooooooo.

Great content

I've loved the in season tournament. Can't wait for the championship

Best commissioner in sports

The balls it takes to drop Henry Kissinger's name - ginormous.

I honestly like the Courts. It bring a good flare. Like a peacock. haha

Point differential is perfect, play til the end

Pat and boys should do something with NBA all-star weekend. Pat should try to kick that basketball in hoop.

Damn. Goodell could learn a lot from AS

Pat better be in the celebrity all star game.

Silver for president

Adam silver really the perfect commissioner

Would be amazing place to test the 4 point line in the nba.

Food is the greatest unifier followed by music. But I can agree with sports being a solid competitor for 3rd place.

I love the NBA Cup! I am sold!

Silver and Dana are so much better then any other commissioner

Well, now im even more a fan of Silver. Im gonna be watching the celebrity game for sure now. Get your game on Pat!

I am a season ticket ride or die HAWKS fan. Also OG Pat and boys listened. The mothership has for some reason decided to ignore the state of Georgia. Thank you pat for trying for the DAWGS. Let’s bring some light to the odd numbers on the Gahmbling front.

The play in and in season tournament worked make this man president

Best era in NBA history 1984-2014 led by David Stern.

SOLD OUT!!!

Was The Suns locker room in a bowling alley?!!? Wth😂

Don’t be scared to dance Rodge !

I forgot about the bbq thanks ESPN🙄

Pat said like 19 words the entire interview

Godell would never go on the program, because unlike the NBA, the crew would tear him apart

Big 3 championship game at nba finals first game halftime.

Silver making Goldell look bronze.

Comparing yourself to Kissinger is no big flex. But they both have one thing in common, big ears and big noses ;)

Wow, what an interview

Adam Silver is a grey alien.

I think instead of who has more points do who holds teams to the lowest

This is the alien from the first MIB that is at lunch with the other alien who had the tiny alien inside his head

SilvEar with a nice Kissinger being one of the great global Diplomats is the hilariously bizarro world take on the shelf. How much for not being political, ESPN

COMISH GOT JOKES HAHAHA

NBA- PSA -it’s not about running the points up. That is just another way for the league to deflect about how blatantly obvious it has become that the officials are manipulating and abusing the game of basketball.

Did you ask him about the big 3?

We need mark cuban on here

Have to give credit to Kobe on the international influence too. Watch the Olympics, countries came to see Kobe, not the NBA.

Roger.....time to come home

Not sure if he’s better than Roger Goodell but he is a lot more likeable.

i would love to see adam silver make a run at a presidency smart, progressive, and seems super grounded

Adam silver is such a gem. I would go as far as saying he's the greatest commissioner of all time of any sport

Why nobody ever asks about the referring

A LITTLE COLOR is cool for the courts. I think some of them were too much.

I would perfer it around all star break. And maybe have a Playoff bid on the line

Winner of the in season tournament earns a first round bye if they make it to the playoffs, regardless where they seed. Let's make it worthwhile

KD seems like either he was paid to say that about the tournament or he brainwashed himself again or he read the memo that the NBA sent out to players not to bashed the in season tournament when asked about it.

dude did not just compare himself to henry kissinger

Roger should stop being scared and come on the progrum.

2.7 views first hr but since no one said it first

But Roger won’t come on what the heck

Bro compared himself to Henry Kissinger

commish would have been lost without a script

I hate basketball cuz it’s such a boring sport to watch, but i’ve always came to terms with the NBA having the beat commissioner😭😂

Get rid of those goofy courts.

Him comparing the growth of the NBA to the "diplomacy of Kissinger" is as terrible of a take as you can get. But it might explain why the NBA has no Cambodians. /And I thought yesterday's episode had some bad takes //Yeeeeeeeeeesh

Adam sliver is awesome

Silver is the worse commish

Success?! lol Success?! This in season tournament has certainly cost the NBA more than it has generated.

Rare Adam Silver L for glazing Henry Kissinger

that tournament reminds me of Pat McAfee. Total B.S.

This In season tournament doesn't fix the glaring issues still wrong with the current NBA. It's just so boring to watch, even playoffs games aren't as good as the baseball playoffs. I mean, even the freakin' baseball playoffs is more exciting then the NBA playoffs. Only this time, the league doesn't have a bird/johnson to save it this time around. Episodes of gunsmoke were chosen to be aired over live basketball playoff games back in the day.

First

I don’t get why we should care about this tournament

This show has officially jumped the shark. Contain is one thing but maintain is another. Cookie cut, inside jokes from unfunny people (TARD TONE), regional show, copy, rinse, repeat. Don't @ me ha CAUSE I'm ready to go...

People still watch the NBA?

The NBA has been rigged since the Jordan era. The first time it was noticeable was the 92 NBA finals game six. The refs helped to bring the Bulls back in that game. Then in the 94 playoffs Bulls Knicks when Hue Hollins called the phantom foul on Pippen to ensure that the bulls did not go to finals without MJ. The Lakers Kings Series and plenty of other. I base all my NBA bets on who is reffing each game. I do win more than I lose and it’s sad that I have to do that.

Most people i talk to are not captivated by it lol maybe as the years go on il buy in. Glad to hear Durant endorse it though. Adam needs to deal with load management even more and the officiating. But hes much better than jackass Bettman for Nhl and Goodell for nfl

Really not a fan of dude. I miss good basketball.

“Operation sellout is complete“ - ‘Darth Sidius voice’ Your voice is bought and paid for Pat, you just another bot, he still uses that old into like it still means something

next time you should ask why he stands with communist china and suspends people who speak out against their imperialistic and genocidal tendencies

You know that the in-season tournament is really bombing when a show that has never once given two fucks about the NBA suddenly had the league commissioner on trying to promote it.

Adam Silver you are a horrible commissioner. When Kyrie promoted Anti-Semitism last year and called the Holocaust a hoax you just stood by and watched. What a terrible leader. You are Jewish Adam Silver and so am I why can’t you defend our people with more strength and vigor? It’s terrible what Kyrie did and he deleted his fake sympathy apology on Instagram! So what if he threw money at the problem that doesn’t solve anything! I can’t even begin to watch this absolutely horrendous in-season tournament. There is no effort being exhibited on either end of the court and the product is really just trash. Of course the Lakers are in it that’s how you know the NFL is dominating the NBA. NBA has to rig some meaningless regular season games just to compete with the 2-10 Patriots on a Thursday Night. And guess what?! The NBA still lost! Hell yeah I’m watching Thursday Night Football! Bai-Ley Zap-Pe 👏👏👏👏👏Bai-Ley Zap-Pe 👏👏👏👏👏 Man I love Boston Conor dude always keeps it so real 😂😂 “So were you just eating orange slices at halftime?” To Jeff Saturday on blowing a 33-0 lead 😹😹 This show is hilarious but I do genuinely feel bad for Max Kellerman. Very interesting that Greenberg would just slime him out the picture like that. Definitely more to this whole ESPN partnership than meets the eye. I’m watching you Pat McAfee. Step right.

we know some of the boys be holding back here...

Nba is trash

i dont know why they always boo adam silver at the nba finals presentation or draft dude has done a lot of great things for the league 🫡

This ridiculous “tournament” is the dumbest concept ever. There is zero reason for anyone to give a 🐀 🫏
