The Courts At Mayo Clinic Square | 'The Gold Standard'

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said what everyone was thinking on Wednesday afternoon.

The Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx, along with Mayo Sports Medicine, held the Grand Opening for The Courts at Mayo Clinic Square.

To help describe how significant this moment truly was, just look at the attendance of Silver. Less than 12 hours before he stood on stage at The Courts in Minneapolis, he was awarding the Golden State Warriors the Larry O’Brien Trophy and handing Andre Iguodala the Finals MVP trophy in Cleveland. That's 751.6 miles away according to the fine folks at Google Maps.

"It feels like less it was less than 12 hours," Silver joked after being introduced by Wolves radio play-by-play voice Alan Horton.
