Silver Glad Focus on Finals, Not Sterling

Speaking to The Associated Press on Friday at an NBA Cares event, (Adam) Silver said he’s thrilled that the league’s attention can be on the championship series between the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs – and not, as it was for so much of the postseason, on the off-the-court matters involving the banishment of Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling and now the looming sale of that franchise.

“No question,” Silver said. “In fairness to all the players and the teams, they worked so hard to get to this moment and a hot building is part of the competition in essence. And all those other things that we’ve been talking about the last several weeks are not.”
