Tl;dr adam silver been handling covid better than yall president lol
All facts. Especially in regards to discipline vs instant gratification.
And to an extent, in order to make it to the NBA there is a certain amount of discipline and sacrifice required, inherently. And altho not perfect, it's been evident how amicable the relationship between Silver, owners, star players, and the NBAPA under Michele Roberts has been the last few years.
Factor all that, and the NBA serves as an example of how America and all it's executive branches are
supposed to be in times of crises. shyt, how it's supposed to be in general lol
