Wake up, Adam Silver! The Knicks should be NBA’s poster child for one reason
NY Post
I understand there’s an ongoing rift between James Dolan and Adam Silver. I get it. But every day, the commissioner should be rooting for the Knicks.
And not just because of their market appeal and ratings potential.
If you remember from Silver’s crusade to complete the media rights deals prior to last season, the commish and NBA pushed the idea that load management doesn’t work. The context was that players weren’t playing enough.
For years.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
