Silver argued that the tanking around the NBA this season has been 'worse' than in recent years.
Facing the media ahead of the All-Star Saturday Night, Adam Silver instantly had to answer the league's most controversial topic: tanking.
The NBA Commissioner didn't deny that tanking has been a part of the Association's culture for a long time, but he fully admitted that this season offered a much more unpleasant impression than the past couple of years.
"Are we seeing behavior that is worse this year than we've seen in recent memory? Yes, is my view. There is a bit of a 'know it when you see it' quality to this," Silver told reporters.
"I mean, we spend a lot of time at the league office going back and forth with teams on injury reports."
