NEW YORK -- Adam Silver has become the NBAs fifth commissioner. The NBA posted a picture on its Twitter account Saturday of Silver holding a basketball and shaking hands with outgoing commissioner David Stern. "Its official: Adam Silver succeeds David Stern as NBA Commissioner" the caption read. Stern retired after exactly 30 years in charge, making him the NBAs longest-serving and most successful commissioner. Silver joined the NBA as his assistant in 1992 and has been the deputy commissioner since 2006. "It is a source of great satisfaction to me that the NBA will now be led by Commissioner Adam Silver, for whom I have tremendous admiration, respect and expectations as he and his experienced and dedicated team take the NBA to successes that were unimaginable even a short while ago," Stern wrote Friday in a thank you email to media members. Stern announced he would retire on Oct. 25, 2012, and owners unanimously chose Silver as his successor. The NBA will now begin using balls with Silvers signature in games. Like Stern, Silver left the legal field to join the NBA. Originally Sterns special assistant, he went on to become NBA Chief of Staff before running NBA Entertainment for about a decade before replacing Russ Granik as deputy commissioner in 2006. Silver was the leagues lead negotiator during the 2011 collective bargaining negotiations and seemed to be more Sterns partner than deputy in recent years. "Its been Davids show. Even up to the last meeting. But there has never been a question whether Adam was involved in every important decision," Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban wrote in an email. The leagues owners unanimously approved longtime league executive Mark Tatums appointment as deputy commissioner this week.

I ran, threw, faced a lot of pitching, so Im good to go, Hamilton said.Theres always pain, but the point is that Im not having muscle spasms. Its been responding well every day. I didnt have any spasms after I finished, so Ill see how it responds tomorrow, he said.Hamilton hit .263 with 10 home runs and 44 RBIs in 89 games. All of his homers came on the road, the first time in his career that he went an entire season without one in his home ballpark.Hamilton is in the second season of a five-year, $125 million contract, which he signed as a free agent after helping the Texas Rangers win back-to-back AL pennants.Manager Mike Scioscia said hes yet to decide whether Hamilton will be in his usual left field spot or the designated hitter.If he can play and hes healthy, he will play, Scioscia said. He really looked good moving around, throwing and running the bases. Well probably just bat him down lower to where hell have a chance to contribute without having too much pressure.Hes got a history of just coming in and finding it quickly. He did it at the end of the 2010 season, and I think theres a number of things he points to why hes comfortable and confident. And if hes locked in, it will make a big difference in our lineup, he said.Had those injuries occurred in the middle of the season, Hamilton acknowledged that he would bee taking more time allowing everything to heal.ddddddddddddI probably wouldnt have gotten the 12 shots that I got, said Hamilton, who spent almost two months on the disabled list after he tore a thumb ligament on a slide headfirst in early April.Theres a time to be smart and patient, and theres a time to just do what youve got to do to get back and play and help the team. Im looking forward to it, man, he said.Angels pitcher Matt Shoemaker also said hes feeling fine. He hasnt been in a game since Sept. 15 because of a mild oblique strain on his left side.Shoemaker threw during a bullpen session Tuesday and later seemed confident there would be no setbacks.It felt normal, which is great. I did a full bullpen again and everything felt great, the 28-year-old rookie said.It was an up-and-down bullpen, so we took a break in the middle just to simulate that. Well probably take that into tomorrow and see whats going on. It was a blessing that it was just mild and it wasnt any more severe, he said.The right-hander began the season as a reliever, but was thrust into the rotation because of season-ending injuries to Garrett Richards and Tyler Skaggs.Shoemaker made 20 starts, going 14-3 with a 2.89 ERA in those games. He also won twice in relief, and his 16 total victories set an Angels rookie record.Jered Weaver (18-9) will start Game 1 for the Angels. Scioscia has yet to announce who will pitch next in the best-of-five series.Matt Shoemaker saved our season, Scioscia said. Hes got to be the story of the year for our team, and it might be the biggest surprise in the league. Matts been a guy who has always had to prove himself. Even this year he had to prove himself. But he got the opportunity and hes made the most of it.
