What's the league's (or your) role in setting up or providing player performance analytics at the team level? Do you ensure all teams have the same fundamentals or are teams left entirely to their own devices when it comes to data and analytics - since they could offer competitive advantage

So far, the In-Season Tournament (IST) has been largely successful as the games seem to be more competitive. How would you rate the IST so far? Did you talk to the teams to get their buy-in before the IST started? Thanks!

How does Adam silver look so young yet he has been in the league forever

Are the analytics used to measure performance of the referees as well? Or is the only metric that is currently being used "sleepless nights"? Thank you!

Wi you guys ever institute replay review for INCs such as travels and carries and fouls????

[–] Barellino23@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Is there any chance tournament games in the future will be separate from regular season games ?

I like the tournament idea but I feel like having them count as regular season games too takes a bit away from it.

Can you get Adam Silver to present the tournament trophy in his Skims underwear?

Have their been discussions for increased prize money

Why do the Raptors play their 1st tournament game today? I think a lot of Raptors fans feel it's a bit anti-climactic to start the tournament so late when some teams have already been eliminated.

Do you think In-Season Tourney winners should get an automatic bid into the playoffs?

[–] nycmonkey@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Evan, what was the most challenging part of making the final call to do it? Owners approval? Overcoming fear of public backlash? Players disapproval?

[–] Wisp1971@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Can teams opt to hang a banner for winning the tournament?

[–] Corner_Post@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Will it be re-named in the future? The "NBA In-Season Tournament" seems a bit dull. E.g. English soccer in-season tournament FA Cup; Spain: Copa Del Rey, etc.

[–] NegativeJury8639@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Is the NBA doing anything to track bad calls and improve?

[–] ladcrp@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Given that it leads to suicidal ideation has the NBA thought about at least eliminating the odious "Everybody Clap Your Hands" ear torture at least during the In-Season Tournament?
