I just listened to the JJ Redick podcast with Adam Silver and it made me start thinking who the best commissioner has been in the league's history. I feel like Stern was kind of wild at times but Silver's also made some mistakes too.

It's NOT Stern.

The Jordan cover-up.

2002 WCF

Frozen envelope.

Malice In The Palace

Tim Donaghy.

Spurs vs Suns

Seattle debacle

2 lockouts

Stern got lucky Jordan was around, and if he didn't have a Jordan he would have made one. The most gangster of commissioners across all major sports, he was a problem in contract negotiations also. When Seattle was denied a team in 2013 he spit on them afterwards: "Excuse me, I have a playoff game to get to in OKC."
