May 13th News Today, NBA President Adam Xiao Hua participated in a program and talked about the current trend of the league.
"It's great now, it's more like a retro playoffs, I prefer this kind of physical confrontation!" Xiao Hua said.
"This is not accidental. It's thanks to Joe Dumas, who just resigned from our basketball operations director and became a senior executive of the Pelicans. Of course, some fans may not know about the influence of coach K, who has been a consultant to the league office for the past few years." Xiao Hua added.
Coach K has won the NCAA championship and Olympic gold medals. He once said that the audience likes tough defense.
From May 2022 to early April 2025, Joe Dumas served as the league's executive vice president, and he was also a member of the "Bad Boys Legion" back then. In mid-April he became the president of basketball operations for the New Orleans Pelicans.
