Pardon My Take
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, Joe Burrow, Max Parties With The Eagles + Guys On Chicks And Fyre Fest

you know, the pitch clock, you know, slightly enlarging the bases to make stealing easier and stuff like that. Like I've looked at those things, you know, and we've talked about that at the league office and with our competition committee.

And when I think the most traditional in my mind of all sports, you know, the most resistant to change, the fact that they're making changes in that sport to keep up with the times, I'm not sure, you know, different basket heights and different arenas is the answer, but I think it just means we have to stay on our toes and be open-minded about potential changes.

A little bit. I don't know if they would describe it as hanging out, but I used to, when I first Gary Bettman still worked here before he went to the NHL. He worked for David Stern at the NBA. And we've stayed close over the years. Roger Goodell and I knew him well even before he became commissioner, when Paul Tagliabue was commissioner. And he's been great.

I remember the first thing when it was announced I was commissioner, Roger was actually one of the first people to reach out to me and said, anything I can share with you, anything that'd be helpful with you. So we're obviously competitors in certain ways, but I think we're all fellow travelers trying to help each other.

I think this notion that a rising tide raises all boats, that it's what's good for premium professional sports is good for all of us. Same with Rob Manfred. I think I became commissioner right before he did. And we've compared notes on a lot of issues over the years. Again, as I said, I'm a big baseball fan. He's invited me over the years to a bunch of different events that I've been to with him.

I've been to Yankee games here in New York with him. So, yeah, we all talk to each other. I mean, everybody's running around slightly different seasons. So we don't get to spend that much time together, but they're all great guys.

Well, I'm a Wizards fan, and we just sent Kuzma. No, believe it or not. And there's some confusion. People have yelled out to me for some reason in the last week or so when I've been at games that I should be vetoing that trade the way David Stern vetoed a trade back in the old days. And And there's always some confusion there.
