David Stern picked the right time to hand the league over to Silver with it thriving like this. We can only hope that iconic players who compel the average viewer like Magic Bird MJ Bron Kobe and Shaq keep entering the league as far as being fans are concerned. But for the NBA without these type of stars the league wouldn't thrive like it is now. It wasn't that long ago that the Finals were on tape delay.
