NBA commissioner David Stern will be retiring from the NBA on Feb. 1, 2014 says Yahoo sports. Stern has been the commissioner since 1984 and will hand the job over to Adam Silver in 2014.
“The Board has selected Adam Silver to succeed me as NBA Commissioner, and I am very pleased with their choice,” Stern said in the email. “As you know, Adam is a world-class business executive who has influenced so many areas of our business during his 20-year tenure with the league, from television, to digital, to international, to merchandising, to sponsorships, to team business, to, of course, labor negotiations. I know that the organization will be in very good hands when Adam becomes Commissioner.
