NBA Commissioner Adam Silver says the league no longer has any team “owners.” Instead, it will refer to owners as “governor” or “alternate governor” for a part-owner.

Some players, including Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors, claim the term is racially insensitive because of slavery. The majority of team owners are white, and the majority of NBA players are black (about 74%). Therefore, the term must be racist.
