Adam Silver says LeBron James’ helicopter commute is perfectly appropriate as long as it is part of his private Fanatics deal

Adam Silver says there is no rules issue with LeBron James using a helicopter to travel between New York and Philadelphia.
The NBA commissioner explained that the arrangement is allowed as long as it remains strictly between James and Fanatics.

“He has a deal with Fanatics,” Silver said. “It’s perfectly appropriate if part of his deal is they’re going to supply a helicopter to him as long as it’s just a deal between Fanatics and LeBron and no team is involved.”

James had already downplayed the attention surrounding the commute: “I’ve done it before; just another way of transportation.”
