Podcast appearances and mentions of Adam Silver

A.I. valuations make sports franchise valuations look like chump change and the disconnect between American voters and the tech billionaires with a batphone to the White House, has gotten scary. Yet, the plugged-in MS-NOW host Stephanie Ruhle, remains hopeful. Can we summon the power to say "no"? Who will expose the cruelest of scams, even and especially if they involve Tim Tebow? And what was Pablo talking about with Adam Silver at that party? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

En el Radar Empresarial de hoy repasamos la última resolución judicial que podría agitar el mercado de las apuestas en Estados Unidos y, en particular, a una de sus compañías más destacadas: Kalshi. El viernes, un Tribunal de Apelaciones con sede en Cincinnati se pronunció en contra de la empresa y concluyó que Ohio y Tennessee tienen potestad para regular los mercados de predicción, que constituyen su negocio principal. Ahora el asunto llegará previsiblemente a la Corte Suprema, que tendrá la última palabra, algo que la propia compañía considera necesario. Su portavoz, Dani Lever, afirmó que la sentencia evidencia por qué un sistema fragmentado, con reglas distintas en cada estado, resulta inviable. El punto central de la disputa es determinar si el producto que ofrece Kalshi, y muchas otras plataformas, puede considerarse un swap, es decir, un contrato entre dos partes para intercambiar flujos de dinero. La jueza Julia Smith Gibbons opina que no lo es, y durante los últimos meses diversos tribunales han emitido criterios contradictorios sobre la cuestión. Además, estos mercados no se limitan al deporte: también permiten apostar sobre quién se llevará el Óscar a la mejor película o quién ganará unas elecciones presidenciales. Aun así, el deporte sigue siendo el gran motor de la empresa, ya que en 2025 generó 234 de los 263 millones de dólares que Kalshi ingresó en comisiones. El sector de las apuestas se ha convertido en uno de los negocios que más dinero mueven en el país. Durante 2025 se apostaron 167.000 millones de dólares en Estados Unidos y las compañías del ramo lograron unos ingresos brutos de 17.000 millones. Lo que pretenden Ohio y Tennessee es que estas plataformas queden sometidas a la misma normativa que las casas de apuestas tradicionales, lo que implicaría más supervisión del regulador estatal, verificación de edad y ubicación de los usuarios, y medidas de juego responsable. Cabe recordar que las apuestas deportivas son legales en todo el país desde 2018, ya que durante décadas solo lo fueron en Nevada, el estado donde se encuentra Las Vegas. Los riesgos de adicción son bien conocidos entre el público general, pero resulta aún más llamativo que también afecten a deportistas profesionales. La NBA es una de las ligas más golpeadas por este fenómeno, y su comisionado, Adam Silver, ha admitido que la competición tiene muy poco control sobre estas plataformas. El año pasado estalló uno de los escándalos más graves de su historia, cuando el FBI acusó a tres jugadores en activo, Terry Rozier, Jontay Porter y Malik Beasley, de apostar en partidos, un hecho especialmente grave por haber participado en algunos de ellos. La investigación alcanzó también a un entrenador, Chauncey Billups, y a un exjugador, Damon Jones. Por cierto, en el texto original aparece "Kelshi", pero el nombre de la empresa se escribe Kalshi, así que lo he corregido en la versión reescrita.

Calif Poncy from the Suave Report is back as he shares thoughts with Gerald on Adam Silver's press conference this week at the NBA Board of Governors Meetings and what he said on the Kawhi/Clippers saga, NBA expansion, NBA Europe, and Mark Walter. They then discuss which teams are most likely to disappoint this upcoming season. Calif explains which teams in both the East and the West have high expectations and have a very tough road to meet them. Which teams are most likely to disappoint this upcoming season?

Team USA won another FIBA Women's World Cup, but Ric Bucher believes the tournament exposed a decision USA Basketball won't be able to avoid much longer: Is it time to stop worrying about hierarchy and start giving Caitlin Clark a bigger role?On this episode of On The Ball, Ric breaks down what Clark demonstrated while surrounded by elite talent — scoring when necessary, pushing tempo, creating shots for teammates and adapting her game to whatever Team USA needed. He also examines what the tournament revealed about Paige Bueckers, why Angel Reese and Clark may be far more compatible as teammates than their rivalry suggests, and why the shrinking gap between the U.S. and the rest of the world could soon make reputation-based rotation decisions costly.Then Ric uses a revelation about LeBron James' role in assembling the 2024 Olympic team to explain why the Michael Jordan-vs.-LeBron GOAT debate will never be resolved: their supporters aren't simply arguing over players — they're measuring greatness by fundamentally different standards.Ric also revisits the Clippers/Kawhi Leonard fallout, what some predictions about the Toronto trade misunderstood about the NBA's unwritten rules, and Pablo Torre's face-to-face question to Adam Silver about how the league vets its owners.Finally, Ric shares what he's hearing about NBA Europe, why its launch is struggling, EuroLeague's resistance to surrendering control, and one potential NBA strategy: lure several marquee EuroLeague clubs into a rival competition and let the league's financial muscle do the rest.TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Welcome to On The Ball01:28 – What's ahead: Team USA, Adam Silver and NBA Europe02:16 – Team USA's World Cup title draws record attention03:14 – Why playing the final during NFL Sunday wasn't Team USA's fault04:15 – What national-team basketball reveals about star hierarchy04:25 – Paige Bueckers vs. Caitlin Clark: what their roles revealed04:55 – What makes Clark more than a scorer05:32 – Clark adapts her game to Team USA's stars06:28 – Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese: rivals who actually fit together07:15 – What Reese gives Team USA — and what remains missing offensively07:48 – Could Clark and Reese's Team USA experience change their rivalry?08:55 – The international threat to American women's basketball09:30 – Italy nearly punctures Team USA's aura of invincibility10:29 – Why roster politics could eventually cost the U.S.10:44 – Kara Lawson's veteran starting lineup11:19 – Why Team USA looked different with Clark running the offense11:44 – Is USA Basketball underusing Caitlin Clark?12:14 – How Clark changed her game to fit Team USA13:07 – What LeBron James reportedly did to assemble the 2024 Olympic team13:50 – The fundamental difference between Jordan and LeBron15:21 – LeBron's approach: get as much help as possible16:03 – Why Jordan and LeBron supporters will never agree16:48 – “Jordan's dominance was visceral.

Adam Silver met the press in New York on Tuesday, delivering a much-anticipated, but brief, status report on NBA Europe. James Emmett and David Cushnan, back in London, examine his comments, as the NBA's ambitious project - the talk of the industry on this side of the Atlantic at least - inches forward, and assess where it might leave Euroleague, which for the moment is moving forward with its own franchise expansion plan. Elsewhere, they reflect on a series of recent conversations and experiences in the sports hospitality space, and consider how sports organisations should be seeking to balance ultra-premium, high-end offerings with a renewed focus on general admission ticket packaging. And there's just time to remark on the other big topics of the week: Nairobi nabbing the World Athletics Championships in 2029 from London; Madrid's first F1 event at the Madring; and the innovations brought to life by World Athletics at the first Ultimate Championships in Budapest.----Leaders Week London is three weeks away.

Late Sunday, Steve Ballmer blinked: the Clippers will comply with the NBA's punishment rather than pursue legal action — a complete reversal from the book-length letter to Adam Silver and weeks of denials, and the franchise's first statement to its fans since any of this began. Grant calls it the right call and the only real one, pointing to the 2000 Timberwolves, who complied and got two of five picks back. John's verdict lands harder: you just watched one of the richest men in the world be held accountable, and when there was nothing left to do but comply, he complied like everybody else. His theory on the timing — dropped on Sunday night, while the Bears were scoring 59 — is worth the price of admission. Before that, the full Week 1 Sunday wrap: John got bamboozled by the Cowboys for the twenty-seventh straight year as the Giants won the John Harbaugh opener on pure physicality, the Chargers were the upset of the week and it wasn't close, Caleb Williams was the best quarterback of the weekend in a 59-point explosion, Josh Allen and DJ Moore made a statement in Houston, and the Vikings won anyway after losing Kyler Murray — which may mean you never see JJ McCarthy again.

We just got done with a wild Week 1 of college football. LSU doesn't play their pros and funny thing, they didn't need them as the Tigers kinda laid down and wanted belly rubs. Michigan got the benefit of bad clock synchronization and Western Michigan doesn't care to the tune of $1.5 million dollars. We wax poetic for the NFL and make our season predictions. Bears and Broncos in the Superbowl? Oh yeah, and Uncle Dennis gets slapped, but Steve Ballmer gets pantsed by Adam Silver, though he does keep the team.

Nick Wright reacts to Adam Silver and the NBA punishing Steve Ballmer and the Los Angeles Clippers for the Kawhi Leonard scandal, originally brought to light by Pablo Torre’s reporting into Aspiration, breaking down its long-term impact on LA and Leonard. Is the Kawhi trade the worst in NBA history? Later, Nick reacts to more rankings around the NFL listing Josh Allen as the league's best player. Nick breaks down why he can't get behind the Josh Allen hype and his expectations for the Buffalo Bills' quarterback moving forward. Next, Nick shares his predictions for the 2026 NFL season from division winners to Super Bowl champion. Nick is high on Lamar Jackson's Baltimore Ravens and Jalen Hurts' Philadelphia Eagles to bounce back in a big way... just not as big as Patrick Mahomes and his Kansas City Chiefs. #Volume 18+ Only.
