NBA commissioner Adam Silver highlighted the Boston Celtics’ role this season in representing the United States in an increasingly international league with a certain Celtics star the sole US player among the Association’s top-five scorers this season while talking about the growth of the league at the 2022 NBA Mexico City Game on Saturday.
“Somebody mentioned to me earlier today, the top-five scorers in the NBA are from five different countries. The US represents one of those in Jayson Tatum, but then four other countries, and we know who those players are,” said the commissioner to the crowd assembled for the 31st game in Mexico in the last 30 years.
