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.

I don’t remember anyone before Stern so just saying not Silver. His decisions are just confusing most of the time and seem to focus more on short term wins rather than any long term strategy. I get that he’s really just acting on behalf of ownership but it’s your job to convince them to think long term sometimes.

A small thing that’s maybe illustrative is just the NBA’s early obsession with winning Twitter. It’s like he forgot where revenue came from.
