Quote of the Day

From where I sit, what is most exciting is that we have a tradition and a history of innovation, which means that where the NBA Tournament starts right now is not going to be where it ends up. And you’ve got commitment from the league, and even from our leadership, that we’re going to continue to progress and make this better and better each year.
-- NBA Head of Global Event Strategy and Development Joey Graziano, on how the league is progressing with the In-Season Tournament.
