Adam Silver said on Wednesday that it was held on the NBA's 10 -minute quarterly idea.
This idea will match the NBA with the length of the Olympic basketball and FIBA games. Both have a quarter of 10 minutes.
This topic appeared when it appeared in the Dan Patrick Show on Wednesday.
“I'm a fan, and maybe something else is more involved in global basketball, so the NBA is the only league that plays 48 minutes. I'm 4/4 -fourth. He is one fan. ” “I don't know if there are many others. Aside from records and such things, I think the two -hour form of the game is more consistent with modern TV habits. The people in the arena do not want us to shorten the game, but as a TV program for 2 hours, the university basketball is, of course. “
NBA Commish pointed out that the shortening of the game was probably welcomed by viewers at home and could be better with people's viewing habits.
He is realistic to take “dramatic changes” and need to explore over time.
Silver also believed that it would be useful for load management issues.
“By the way, if you go to a 40 -minute game, it is equivalent to taking 15 games from the season in a few minutes of road management and rest -I do not know exactly mathematics.” I said. “And most fans are disappointed, even if they are two hours of presentation. Our games are actually about 2 hours and 15 minutes.”
The NBA has a long -standing openness that includes the addition of the Playin Tournament and the Emirates NBA Cup.
