Commissioner Adam Silver isn't considering leaving his job with the NBA despite inquiries from NFL owners about his willingness to switch leagues and become commissioner of the NFL, ESPN's Ramona Shelburne reported on Thursday.
According to Shelburne, Silver has been approached by several NFL owners who have tried to persuade him to run their league within the past five years that he has served the NBA's commissioner. In August 2017, one NFL owner's confidant reached out to Silver to gauge whether he would be interested in switching to the NFL. Silver immediately said no.
"I'll just say I have not given it any thought," Silver told ESPN.
