He looks exhausted. Can’t blame him. Not easy decision to suspend the season knowing how much revenue will be lost. But this is bigger than basketball🏀 (checkout my channel btw. Im making self improvement and motivational videos)
@OB Speaks No. No hate. It’s just that you’re a loser and I wanted you to know it.
Stressing everday over Shekels will do that to a man
@Laquish Danish the huge swings in the stock market is the result of large shareholders playing games with people that only own a little stock. They sell off mass amounts of shares,causing panic,causing smaller shareholders to sell off their stocks. Then the large shareholders buy them all up at extremely cheap prices,thus controlling everything. Oldest trick that there is!
@WindTheBrave I will pray so your mental health problems are not an issue anymore. Hopefully they are not concerning you anymore
It was NOT his decision! The government is ordering people to CLOSE to keep up the HOAX! If this is REAL, then why has TRUMP and his FAMILY NOT been tested?
Can we please have a prayer for Adam Silver he must be under so much stress trying to find away to please all the fans make money and also keep everyone healthy at the same time. You can see he’s stressed we love you Adam stay strong we believe in you
That nigga has over 30 million dollar. Pray for your gotdamn self. He doesn’t give 2 shits about you or me.
COLLIN – BRUH, WTF ??? Did Silver cure cancer ro something ??? Get off his jockstrap. You sound so utterly gay right now. Quite pathetic with your prayer BS….
@LifeisA Dream – You are asking dumb, ignorant, mostly illiterate sports fans to delve into Gematria ??? Their brains would explode. Chill, my brother. That is WAY too deep for them. They still do not even realize that all major sports are rigged…..LMFAO !!
GoldenStarOfGod🎶 just because I don’t know him doesn’t mean I can’t love what he does for us and our entertainment
Adam Silver is just on a hot streak as a commissioner. It’s refreshing to see amongst the NFL and MLB goofballs.
@Gonz Wouldgo nah say whatever you want, just dont be butthurt when someone calls bullshit
@Tonto Epstein He had no say there. The NBA is a basketball organization with humanitarian charities and goals. It is not an international governing body to sanction countries over their political feuds and potential civil uprisings.
It was another example of a composed professional decision because he acknowledged he wasn’t advised well enough on the subject to make any statements, and not in any position to otherwise. Let alone Hong Kong is but 1 of many parts of Asia including China. Should he cancel the rest of China because of Hong Kong? As a business that’d be rash and illogical as it would accomplish nothing.
What should Adam Silver have done in that scenario? With the NBA in foreign territory and relations between China and the USA, involving North Korea, trade sanctions etc. in hot waters?
Should he have spat in China’s face? Canceled all games in China? ( which would mean the fans would take collateral damage ) Assembled an army of NBA players?
He took the best diplomatic reserved approach possible.
China loving cowardly pencil head.
D just respect someone’s religion and stfu💀
@Zenas101 No, there aren’t.
Prayers for everyone in the world!
@MaxthePug1011 Nice, but fucking useless.
@MAYBE JUST A LITTLE POWDERED SUGAR Go back to your maga circlejerk
@Jonathan Ballenger No you won’t, you fucking liar.
MAYBE JUST A LITTLE POWDERED SUGAR and trumps the perfect president, right? lol
mensrea , You Must be the Corona burner account
Adam Silver is a genuine dude. Great commisioner
Please be considerate to Adam. This situation must be eating him alive with so much stress and anxiety. Let’s try to chill out.
@WeShowYou39071319 broaden your perspective brother.
@Tonto Epstein Think about it this way, he just deprived 30 billionaires of one of their major income sources. He must be under enormous pressure from the owners to find a way to resume the league in a fashion that will be socially acceptable to the media, so that the sport and the organization doesn’t taint it’s value and reputation. Yes, we do have owners like Mark Cuban giving good PR addresses about doing the right things, but most owners are definitely not on that same page especially behind closed doors. Even though the league is not going on, he’s gonna have to deal with this mess and very influential people day in and day out. That’s why even if you think this was the obvious choice, it was still commendable how fast he went about shutting down the league.
@DSPAIR – You’re so right. Poor guy has lost all his hair…
Shut up you woman
Despair fuck off.
You know my mans hasn’t slept in a couple of days. Adam a goated comish!!
Srijit Gaire it’s because he’s a reptile
He’s such a handsome man too lol
He looks like the devil
You stupid. So many want to blow Adam
why my man look like 1922’s nosferatu
Probably hasn’t slept in 2 weeks
Because he’s a jew
give this man a round of applause, dude looks like he’s getting hit with questions left & right… Prayers 4 Adam Silver man…
It’s….kinda…a…BIG…part…of…his…job…to…answer…tough…questions….
Would you applaud Lebron for actually driving to the arena, to play in games that he is PAID to play in ???
Pete Pan yeah but tryna make decisions that cost you a billion dollars doesn’t exactly fit on the job profile
Best commissioner in all pro leagues right now in the US, hands down
@T Reese he’s a drama queen. There was another incident where he canceled a game or something because of some kind of threat that ended up with nothing
K. Baller yes. That one game. Drama queen.
The irony lol
Adam Nex you must be High as fuck
Yea but he got rid of the ninja headbands 😢
I love Adam silver he is such a great commissioner it isn’t often that he makes a bad call ! We know this time is rough rn keep in there Adam !
CJ Dalton how tf is it silvers fault that the talent in the NBA is different from decades ago. Use ya head
He’s a typical jew. He always goes into dramatic decisions. Overreacts all the time
Steven adams?
He is a puppet, like the rest.
LMAO
👏 Adam Silver.. Im so glad he’s the Commissioner. Everybody take care of yourself. God Bless
I think Adam Silver is one of the best NBA Commissioners ever. Even though none of us want the season to end it was a really smart and important decision. Props to him for putting health and safety over making money.
he might end up as a GOAT commissioner tbh
If the US is able to successfully minimize & ultimately contain corona, due in no large part to preventing large public gatherings, we will have to thank the NBA for leading the way & other sports leagues & businesses for following suit.
Larry O’Brien is also great because also incidentally or coincidentally he’s just doing what a commissioner does and also the integrity of the game he serve the US very well
CJ Dalton aye why you so salty tho😂
CJ Dalton Defense??????? You cant acknowledge the fact this man is a great commissioner because you dint like the way defense is played now 😂😂😂😂😂 and might I add the great and late David Stern made those changes not Adam😂 and as far as the defense now the lack of 80’s 90’s style of play as helped the nba. People don’t want low scoring 85 point games. They don’t want defense to an extent. Now I agree some of the game could use a little more intensity but 🤷🏽♀️ it’s the game now. But I mean to blame Adam silver for that …makes me think your just the casual fan that praises the good ole days without understanding the beauty of now
damn, Adam looks so old in just a few months. Saw his interview somewhere last year, and he’s in good spirits. I guess the death of the Ex-Comm, Kobe and all other stuff around NBA has its effects on him. Prayers for you Adam! You’re doing a good job compared to other leagues out there. Keep safe!
Things start to take a toll on you man, hopefully he gets some rest & seek a little bit of peace in this decision. LOVE PEACE & POSITIVITY
@G Propho Loading I think after this week, he should def get a rest. This is obviously taken a toll on him. He looks like 70 on this interview, while he’s just 57.
Kobe CHEATED on his wife and was NO HERO and the virus is a HOAX you DUMB FUCK
@Bob Baker Kobe’s wife Vanessa forgave him, who are you to bring it up. Where you married to him as well or something
Adam Silver has fully won me over with this decision. I knew when he banned Donald Sterling that the NBA had picked the right guy to succeed David Stern, but if he hadn’t done so before, this decision solidifies him as an A+ commissioner.
He didn’t do shit to Sterling but get him paid as fuck. Whole shit was orchestrated to make simple minded pro blacks thinks hes on their side, as long as they heavily push the gay agenda(cough* *Wade* cough*)
Yo Mammas Boo You’re so woke. I can’t keep up with this level of wokeness
@Yo Mammas Boo the Clippers is a billion dollar business. He could get a lot more money if he was still an owner especially today that the Clippers are contending so stfu with your racist and discrimination remarks.
@rey robinson Maybe someone should put him to sleep!
By far the best commissioner in all of sports. Imagine this happening in baseball. Their commissioner doesn’t even have the guts to simply punish cheaters, we still wouldn’t even have an official response from him in this situation.
that is why the viewership is down lol
@f3rbs lol I don’t think it’ll ever recover from the Astros stuff. How do you respect the sport?
Worst he has made the on court product awful for my favorite league I only watch my local team now the rules suck
Manfred will quarantine the Astros for the next five seasons….
I was so mad at that dude when he put that cartoon shoe in the barrel of acid on “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”…
😄😄😄
Oh my God, it’s DIP!!!
He’s such a good commissioner. He consistently makes good decisions in times of crisis.
He always seems to decide in favour of the public opinion and growing the sport. He doesn’t bend to whims of the owners who just care about money regardless of the negative consequences. It’s really refreshing.
He could be a good president if he wants to go to grand politics tbh.
@panner11 exactly. He lets the game evolve. I mean..seriously we just had one of the best All-Star games in decades. I feel assured often that the game is in good hands.
Transparency: A
Messaging: A
Leadership: A
Well done Mr. Silver. Goodell, Manfred and Bettman, get your asses back to study hall and learn to do better.
@Jacob Vandenberghe manfred does stupid things like trying to speed up the game, and getting rid of lefty specialist pitchers. But his idea to expand the playoffs is a smart idea
Goodell would’ve just fined the Virus
Let’s not forget Adam silver bent the knee to china and fined Nikola Jokic for saying “no homo”
I’ll give leadership A+ it’s pretty spot on
The virus is a HOAX DUMB ASS
When the NBA commissioner gives you more comfort from his leadership on this situation than the freaking potus… and it’s not even close
