Regarding the term of office of NBA president, I personally have not found the corresponding explicit provisions. But what is clear is that this position was elected by the NBA board of directors and needs to be signed. Although there is a time limit, if you perform well during your tenure, it is not impossible to continue working until retirement.
The NBA has had four presidents in the past: the first president Maurice Dollof (1946- 1963), the second president Walton Kennedy (1963- 1975) and the third president Larry O'brien (65438). It is not difficult to see that their terms of office vary from as long as 30 years to at least 9 years.
So how long has Xiao Hua been in office as the latest NBA president? In 20 14, Xiao Hua took over the post of president of NBA from david stern. In 20 18, the board of directors of NBA signed a renewal contract with Xiao Hua, extending his term of office to the 2023-2024 season, which means that the contract will expire in three years.
There may be many netizens who think the board of directors of the NBA League is stupid? As far as all the "dedication" that Xiao Hua has made to the NBA in recent years is concerned, he basically has no ability to continue to be the president. But the contract was actually renewed on 20 18. Morey did not break out, the epidemic did not happen in generate, and the arrogance of American basketball in the international arena has not been lost.
Before renewing the contract, Xiao Hua did make a lot of contributions as the president.
Firstly, the legalization of gambling was introduced, which made the league earn a lot of money. Looking at the salary increase ratio of players in recent years, it is always tens of millions of annual salary. Is it because the team boss is stupid and has too much money? Of course not.
Secondly, Xiao Hua began to pay attention to the implementation of NBA peripheral products. To put it bluntly, everything related to the NBA needs money. Take things that are closely related to our domestic fans. I heard that watching football costs money. This was incomprehensible before, but now some games can't be seen without VIP.
Finally, in addition to the economic promotion, Xiao Hua acquiesced in some illegal behaviors such as moving and rolling in order to increase the enjoyment of the game, encouraged many attacks and three points, and increased the punishment for body hair foul. Of course, such a change will indeed bring a different look and feel to the game, but it is not a victory, so it seems that there is no need to explain too much.
Although I don't like Xiao Hua personally, I can't admit his business talent. At least now the NBA's label is business alliance. I don't know what the future NBA will look like, but Xiao Hua's term may be extended again before finding a more suitable next superior.
