During an interview with ESPN, Adam Silver said he is unconcerned with the playoff dominance of the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers. The two teams, who have played each other in the past two Finals, are a combined 20-0.

"It's not a concern," Silver said. "I think that we should celebrating excellence. People are already anointing these teams as dominant and franchise teams. But, on the other hand, I look at the [Warriors] that hadn't won a championship in 40 years. The Cavaliers, of course, won last year and had never won a championship before in this league. ... Of course you want to see balance throughout the league. At the same time, when teams are excelling and playing at that level, I think, the fan in me, it's fantastic to watch."

Silver's time with the NBA has largely been marked by his pursuit of competitive balance.
