When the NBA opened its first New York store it signed a low-profile e-commerce company to run it. We’ll be interviewing the people in charge. Adam Silver was unanimously elected NBA commissioner in 2014 by the NBA Board of Governors, and presides over a league that is one of the largest providers of sports programming in the world. Internet entrepreneur Michael Rubin is the executive chairman of Fanatics, the global leader for licensed sports merchandise.
Rubin and Silver will be interviewed live from our Code Commerce stage by Recode Senior Editor for Commerce Jason Del Rey and Kurt Wagner, senior editor of social media, on Wednesday, September 13 at 2:45 pm ET/ 11:45 am PT.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.
That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
