David Stern is bullish on the future of the NBA three years after he retired as commissioner.
"In addition to the talent, I'm in awe of the shooting skills of Steph Curry, of Klay Thompson, of a (Russell) Westbrook and a (James) Harden, et cetera," Stern told The Associated Press by phone. "But I'm also in awe of the potential the league has both digitally and globally. So the game is strong, the attendance is at a record, the future is extraordinary internationally and the league is a leader under Adam (Silver) in the digital sphere.
"So it's really a wonderful opportunity for the owners, for the players, and for my former colleagues at the team and league level."
The NBA's annual revenues have hit $5 billion.
