And I am now a senior adviser to an investment bank of venture capital firm.

Means if something happened that no one remembers, they called me up.

Oh, yes, I was there in 19 because I actually my involvement with the N B A goes back to 19 goes back 50 years.

Let's just say that, uh, in addition, I'm involved with many sports technology startups, which is a great deal of fun.

And they, you know about the game, about televising the game and about player health.

Imagine if we could extend the career of every player by a year.

That would be great for the players, priceless for the league.

And I think that, technologically speaking, n b A games are going to stream.

They're gonna use virtual reality that use artificial intelligence.

And so that's the way I stay involved, focusing on start ups and new technology providers.

What do you think about the state of league now?

I think that the the summer league is electrifying.

The free agent movement gives the n ba ownership of a huge chunk of calendar real estate.

I think that the international endeavors with the academies and the announcement of the best Well, Africa League, I think that Adam Silver is doing a great job of growing the sport on a global basis.

What do you remember about implementing dress code?

I don't think they pay attention to what I don't.

All I know is that the union said it was a good thing to do.

I did it and then they attacked me on it and then our players.

You see, I'm not gonna embarrass you by asking you what the dress code is because you wouldn't remember that the dress code was you could wear jeans, just wear a pair of shoes and a shirt with a collar.

But our players, when over the top, they started dressing and and frankly, they got these great bodies and they just began to be on Gentlemen's Quarterly and vote again, all kinds of fancy places.

They saw designing their own fashion lines.

I think it's so when you watch players walking now for games and man, do you think like you guys gave me the worst time about this?

Yes, I think you know, you guys killed me on this.

I was being made fun of in every night time talk show in America.

They drink me in gold trains and all kinds of stuff on tattoos, but it's great.

I mean, it was an opportunity for our players to shine.

I find it offensive that some people thought it was racist.

Well, no, because race is always an issue, and that's just the way it is on the n.

A has always been on the edge of discussions of race.

You know, I and every collective bargaining negotiation.

I was accused of having a plantation mentality.

Uh, you know, it depends who wanted to use it, but it didn't surprise me and didn't offend me anymore.

But but the thing I take pride in is the number of millionaires that the N BA has made that developed not just the owners getting wealthier because of the asset appreciation, but the players getting contracts that are off the charts without regard to their race.

What do you think about the voice now, what a player seems like there speak out more than perhaps 10 15 20 years ago.

We and we gave them instructions on how to use social media, and they just ran with it.

You know, LeBron has, I think, 50 million plus Instagram followers or Twitter followers.

It's great, and our players and Adam is a leading voice in player entitlement and empowerment, and they should talk it.

They should speak out because they have the power to influence on social issues.

I'm very pleased to see those developments about especially LeBron, and what do you think about how he uses his platform and a player he became.

I think that I take enormous pride in watching LeBron on his school activities, his, uh, charitable activities and his leadership activities on social issues.

It's a great thing you, um when you step down, must lay.

Just months later, the sterling thing took place.

Is the five year anniversary of Starling.

How involved were you in helping out To make that decision.

It'll he made the decision all on his own.

And he made the only decision that I think would have been the right one was the one he made.

Did you feel like you need to be consulted on ill?

Okay, um, I stepped away, and I believe that when you're gone, you're gone.

Whether you the chairman of a board, whether you're the commissioner, whether you're anything, you the king is dead long with the king.

What did you remember about my moods situation at that time?

Uh, you're referring to my would money when he month would Abdul, right Yes, a former Denver Nuggets player over the flag.

We had a rule of that time that you had to stand for the national anthem.

There was a rule that I inherited, and he announced one day that he was not going to stand and we said, Please stand.

You can stay in the locker room if you'd like, you can stay in the vomit.

Torrey, Um, you know, to come in the corporate if you come on the court sitting on a bench with your team, you have to stand on.

He decided that he wanted to make a statement and I was commissioner and I suspended him for one game.

And when he stood, he looked in the wrong direction.

He muttered, You know, he did other things.
