About this episode

We are thrilled to welcome to the podcast, commissioner of the NBA, Adam Silver. We were lucky enough to get 45 mins with Adam to talk through so many things surrounding the league. Let's get to it.


Topics include: JJ and Tommy open up the pod talking about the first week of the In-Season Tournament. Then Adam joins the pod and we open up talking about how he manages his time. We also get into the in-season tournament, NBA Twitter, the league's approach to fixing the load management problem, refocusing the NBA on basketball itself, how NBA media (including our pod) can do a better job talking about the NBA and basketball, his personal experience with the Donald Sterling situation, Adam's biggest regrets as commissioner and so much more.


Subscribe to The Old Man and The Three podcast w/ JJ Redick (ESPN / First Take) and Tommy Alter YouTube channel today for more NBA analysis, player interviews and highlights.
