:
Adam Silver Can See That You Are Angry, and He Is Here for It
If you decide to assemble your N.B.A. hate-tweets into a real-life email to Commissioner Adam Silver, do not be surprised if he writes you back.
Speaking to a gathering of the Economic Club of New York on Tuesday, Silver said that he tries to engage directly with fans angry about his decisions. “Whether people said it online or wrote me letters directly saying ‘I will never be a fan of your game again because you have made that decision,’ my reaction was to try and engage with them,” Silver said.
“People are often surprised to hear back from me. I think the mistake would be in this day and age to say, ‘I know I am right.’ ”
