An open letter to Adam Silver
Dear Mr. Silver,
A few days ago, you publicly said that the NBA’s superstars were not participating in enough games per season. That it was a problem, and that you didn’t have the solution right now. I have a proposal for you, one which I believe will raise the percentage of games played per year of your superstars, gives you the tournament you’ve been talking about the last few years, shortens the season without hurting your TV deals, and helps eliminate the problem of tanking. Would you like me to say more?
