Silver fills in for David Stern, who served as the league's commissioner for 30 years. Silver, who was the deputy commish under Stern, hopes to live up to and surpass the impactful legacy Stern left behind.
Much controversy has been made by the NBA age limit. Raising it to 19 caused many issues on the college basketball field, with more and more prospects heading down the one-and-done route instead of building up there game in college.
In fact, more are in favor of lowering the age limit back to 18 years old. However, many were concerned about how many busts there were and how unexperienced many players became coming out of high school.
With that, other have suggested other things such as raising the age limit to 21 or 22 years of age, or whenever the players finishes three or four years of playing college ball.
It's a never-ending debate, but raising it to 20 will definitely cause waves across country.
