Adam Silver Messes Up 22nd Draft Pick Announcement The Philadelphia 70 Selectors

Zach Lowe on Sam Presti defending SGA by blaming social media What social media How about the coaches of half the NBA teams Hes trying to make it sound like its just these lunatics on SM and poor Shai has all these people attacking him Its people in the league head coaches on the record

Stephen A Smith You and I were both talking to commissioner Adam Silver before the game and he's highlighting like Look we know how this goes But damn it that happens every NBA Finals

JB Bickerstaff like every other coach and player these playoffs bitched about the refs postgame

Sam Presti It used 'you get up there you talk about your own team' Now everyone gets up there and they talk about the officials and they discredit the other team on SGA Hes playing against 6 people Hes got 5 defenders and the 6th defender is social media
