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.

Stern. Pre 2015 you had to be a real man to play in the nba.
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.”
