NBA Commissioner, ex-stars to participate in NYC Marathon relay
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will run the first three miles of the New York City Marathon on Sunday as part of a 24-person relay of basketball luminaries.
Dikembe Mutombo will cross the finish line for the group, which is trying to encourage kids to exercise.
Silver said Monday that he will run over the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge from Staten Island to Brooklyn then pass a baton to Chris Mullin, the Brooklyn native who starred at St. John’s in Queens before a Hall of Fame NBA career.
