The executives I surveyed this week cited two main factors. The first was parity: The league has seen more close games than ever before.

The Art of Influence: Derrick Adams’s “Black Joy”
One of the high points of The Art of Influence—our annual one-day conference with Glenn Fuhrman’s FLAG Art Foundation—is our marquee interview with an artist. This year, Glenn spoke to Derrick Adams, whose work was the subject of a mid-career survey at ICA Boston this summer.
