“One of my most important responsibilities as commissioner of the NBA is to protect the integrity of professional basketball and preserve public confidence in the league and our sport.”

But I believe that sports betting should be brought out of the underground and into the sunlight where it can be appropriately monitored and regulated

We didn’t see [the NBA lockout] as a victory at all.

We want to get to a point where Twitter highlights lead to purchase of a live game

Let me be clear: Any new approach must ensure the integrity of the game.

I oppose any course of action that would compromise these objectives.

It was far from what we set it out to accomplish in bargaining, but I thought it was a fair compromise.

There needs to be a college football commissioner.

If I were the commissioner of all sports media I would issue an immediate ban on three-person announcing teams on telecasts of live sporting events. In almost all cases three is one voice too many.
