NBA Attracts Netflix And Other Streamers With Success Of In-Season Tournament
The NBA commissioner, Adam Silver, has the most fun job in sports right now. His brainchild, the NBA In-Season Tournament, has worked and he can tell all the naysayers: “I told you so.”

During these negotiations, Silver’s innovative and creative negotiating skills will be on full display, and his goal will be to extract the best combination of deals from prospective media partners — old and new. The end result will likely be a complicated, content-rich jigsaw puzzle capable of spawning valuable intellectual property.
