This Is A Bad Idea, Adam Silver

Adam Silver has floated the idea of cutting NBA games from 48 to 40 minutes. With all these injuries piling up at the beginning of the 2026-27 season, that idea is back. In this video, I looked at all the arguments for and against the “40-minute NBA”. What would happen to the numbers of guys like Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokic? Also, how much of the NBA broadcast is actually basketball, why the stars would barely get more rest, what it would cost the bench players, and why I wouldn’t even consider these proposals.
