never happen. The only people who matter for that decision are the owners and they consider four of the five things in here to be a positive. And he just got them a deal to more than triple revenue to deliver the exact same product and he has multiple people ready to give them at least 3 1/2 billion each for new franchises in Vegas in Seattle.  
 
You know how an expansion fee works? It is a straight up cash payment into the NBA account that is then divided among all the owners. Not equity. Not absorbing debt. When they add those two teams, every owner will get at least $250 million of straight cash wired to them.  
 
And he’s working on getting a small percentage of every bet placed on the NBA from the major online casinos Which will Be more billions to split. 
 
The owners have the only thing they care about absolutely skyrocketing. 
 
You got people who paid $300 million Fairly recently with assets now worth 4 billion. 
 
His job is to have sports fans hate him while not acknowledging that he works as a figure head for the owners. He’s there to get this hate while they walk around anonymously with exploding net worths. 
 
They probably love him to death. 
 
Stern ruled with fear. Silver doesn’t have to rule. He just guides them to more money. Exploding values let owners sell off little chunks for a few hundred million of extra walking around money. Its why Glenn Taylor tried to sue to cancel his sale to Arods group. Sold that shit for 1.3 billion and gave them a couple years to pay it off then the team value goes up by 300%. 
 
he may look like a dandelion with the fluff blown off it, but I know those owners love his ass

 Yet you still keep watching it and posting about the league on this forum. Does that mean you're a joke investing time in something that's a joke to you?

							Speaking of jokes!   
 
Jordan Clarkson, meanwhile, is also operating on limited playing time, having been quickly supplanted in the rotation by Landry Shamet. Brown, according to sources, is a big fan of Shamet and pushed to keep him on the roster after the guard entered camp on a non-guaranteed deal. But that also leaves Clarkson, a former Sixth Man of the Year winner, averaging just 14.8 minutes and 6.8 points on 29 percent shooting. All of those stats would be career lows. “I guess it’s whole new learning for me,” Clarkson told The Post. “New coach, new system, new team. Just trying to pick up on everything I can.”

 I've watched less than 10 regular season games over the last 3 years. Probably less than 20 playoff games too over the last 3 years. All through free streaming of course. The NBA hasn't got a single cent from me in a decade.  
 
I also posted FAR more between 2014-2020. 
 
So yeah, it's a joke league. The players are still talented of course, but they've had so many pathetic on the court traits instilled in them because of all the ridiculous rule changes. 
 
It's no wonder why NBA players are made fun of and meme'd the most by far out of all US professional sports.

 NBA players are the main ones recognized to begin with. 
 
The public only knows a few quarterbacks by face. Few others. Travis Kelce. Guys like that. But not many. Baseball barely has anyone. A couple who would be known walking into a mall in Dallas.  
 
Hockey has none. 
 
Nba players are known.  
 
Lack of helmets help.
