Dear NBA Family:

These NBA Finals said it all:  it’s a new era where anything can happen.

The regular season tested teams’ endurance and resolve.  Then came a highly competitive and unpredictable playoffs where new teams and stars emerged.  And as the competition unfolded, dedicated fans like you showed up in record numbers – in arenas, in front of your screens and following along on social media.  You’re the reason why NBA basketball has never been more popular.

The competition continues in the offseason.  Tune in to the Draft on Wednesday (8 p.m. ET on ABC and ESPN) and Thursday (8 p.m. ET on ESPN), followed by free agency (beginning June 30) and our summer leagues (beginning July 5) as teams begin retooling for next season.

We are excited that next season will also mark the debut of new media partners – NBC/Peacock and Amazon Prime Video – to go along with our longstanding partners at ABC and ESPN.  Use the NBA App to follow where and when to tune in.

Thank you for your passion and support throughout the year – and welcome to a new era of NBA basketball.

Sincerely,

Adam Silver

NBA Commissioner
