NBA All-Star Weekend: Adam Silver is 'pleased' with the state of the game, but the league is losing its balance

INDIANAPOLIS — NBA commissioner Adam Silver says he likes the state of the game, and Stephen Curry said as much a few hours earlier.

Everything is bigger now — All-Star Saturday Night is being held in a football stadium, and it isn’t the first time the NBA has done this. It’s a hard task for Silver to keep growing the sport, expanding its international reach and revenue, all the while keeping the essence of the game as close to pure as possible.
