Adam Silver's public 'discussion' of fan ideas is just a brilliant PR move to appease Reddit

Adam Silver is a genius because he just basically goes on NBA Reddit, reads the most upvoted idea for how to fix the NBA, and then says, we're going to discuss it in this offseason, and maybe we'll make some changes.

The In-Season Tournament did eventually become reality, proving Silver was actually listening to those 'dumb' ideas.

Antonio Brown is trying to convince himself he's happy in Oakland, but he will demand a trade within six weeks

I don't think he wants to be an Oakland Raider. And he's trying to convince himself that this is the good move... I wouldn't be shocked if he demands a trade within the first six weeks. That'd be amazing.

The timeline of 'six weeks' didn't hit (he was traded in March and didn't blow up until training camp in August/September), but the spirit of him wanting out and the Raiders stint being a disaster was legendary.

Reports later emerged that Amazon employees did listen to voice recordings to improve the AI, though the 'listening to every conversation' framing is an exaggeration.
