Commissioner
The Commissioner is the head of the National Basketball Association. He has the power to implement new rules, discipline players, coaches, and officials, and move for policy changes. The commissioner also presides over all expansion and player relations issues.
The NBA has only had four commissioners since its inception in 1949-1950: Maurice Podoloff, Walter Kennedy, Larry OÆBrien, and David J. Stern. These four men have seen the league develop and expand to its current glory; from the formation of the National Basketball Association to the development of the WNBA and entry into the Olympics.
The commissioner is the leader of the NBA and must oversee its operations. His responsibilities include improving and maintaining the public image, disciplining, fining, and suspending players, coaches and officials, relaying information the media (through media reps), and working with the team owners and players to ensure the best quality product the league can produce. All major complaints and league issues go through the commissioner to be resolved.
