Adam Silver continues to seek a change of the NBA's current rule of players needing to be 19 years old and one year removed from high school before entering the draft.

"The college coaches and athletic directors I hear from, they're not happy with the current system. And I know our teams aren't happy either, in part because they don't necessarily think the players who are coming into the league are getting the kind of training they would expect to see among top draft picks in the league," Silver said.

The NBA proposed raising the age limit to 20 while the union preferred allowing players to enter the league directly from high school.

"From a league standpoint you always want to see great competition," Silver said. " ... Having said that, this is real life. It’s not scripted and it happens, so sure the fan in me would love to see more competition at times. On the other hand, I’ve said before I think we should also celebrate excellence. I think people are also inspired by seeing such tremendous play, by seeing teams come together the way they have, I think their play has been inspiring, I think they’ve done it in the right way, and I also think these things have a way or workings themselves out."
