The NBA has changed over the last 40 years drastically. The style of play, the speed of the game, the athleticism, even how players are recruited. Thinking about a lot of black athletes in the media for the wrong reasons Cough Ja Morant, how may a black commissioner connect with these athletes differently and who would that be? What former athlete would run the league the best? Just a random thought and please don’t dissect the question - just a hypothetical fun thought.
We’re overdue.
I’ll do it
Ujiri would make a good commish
Ernie Johnson
this is not the place to ask a question like this
Some of you guys think about race way too often
Obama
Kendrick Perkins is next in line
Paul Pierce deserves it whenever it becomes available.
Magic Johnson
Well the current Deputy Commissioner is Mark Tatum, with Black Jamaican and Vietnamese heritage. So unless he plans to retire before Adam Silver steps down, he would be the natural choice for the next commissioner
The commissioner’s job is to represent the owners, not the athletes.
Is it the Commissioner’s job to drive behavior changes by connecting with players?
lebron should be commishoner
Whoever had a nickname “Big Government” should automatically be a commisioner.
