Less than six months since he became commissioner of the NBA, Adam Silver is already my favorite commissioner in sports. Ever.

  • With each passing week, Silver proves he is open to change in a way unlike any commissioner ever has been. This offseason, he’s hinted at the possibility of 1) revamping the replay system, 2) a midseason tournament in Las Vegas, and 3) extending the All-Star break.

    Silver even submitted a proposal at the competition committee meetings in Vegas to reform the NBA Draft lottery, according to Grantland’s Zach Lowe.

    I won’t lie and say I’ve loved all of Silver’s ideas, but I do love the idea of change. The NBA doesn’t need fixing, but like every league, it could use some fine-tuning.

    I don’t expect all — or even most — of Silver’s plans to come to fruition. But I can dream of a better NBA. I can even dream of being in Silver’s position.

    So here are five changes that, if I were Adam Silver, I would implement to make the NBA the most exciting league in sports.
