Re: Raptors
I will give some points for Silver being the best (he's only been the Commish for 5yrs):
- League promotes stars. However it's easy when they can play 40/48minutes
- The money generated in TV deals and what not is insane
- Women being hired as coaches
- How he dealt with Donald Sterling and full on getting him out of the league
- He works very closely with the video game (NBA2K) with tournaments and what not. It's actually massive for the league
- His work with LGBT community. NBA always is in the NY Pride parade and he's walking in it. The openness of promoting "everyone can play" is large.
- The WNBA is like the only working model for female sports league.
- He's created a league where it dominates the news for months in the offseason with the ability for star players to move in their prime twice. Which promotes sales in a LOT of areas.
- He's had 0 controversy in the league compared to David Stern. Stern very much saved the league, but he was pretty dirty at doing it. From the frozen envelope, to Jordan's retirement, to multiple lockouts, multiple teams being moved. So it's also just how well Silver has done in comparison to Stern is insane.
