Unlike his predecessor David Stern, who thrived on conflict, Silver emphasizes diplomacy and partnerships with players, contributing to a revenue surge from $3-4 billion to a projected $14.3 billion this season. Silver acknowledges Stern’s foresight in recognizing the need for a different leadership style for the NBA’s evolving landscape. He believes that if a more showman-like leader were needed, he might not be the right fit.
