Adam Silver is the Deputy Commissioner and Chief Operating Officer of the National Basketball Association. He has held this post since July 2006.

According to his NBA 101 information page, Silver has been with the league for over 14 years. He oversees NBA Entertainment - which comprises all the NBA's business units, including television and merchandising - as well as the NBA's international business ventures. The Global Media Properties and Marketing Partnerships division of the league also fall under Silver, as well as advertising sales.

Silver was an executive producer of the IMAX movie "Michael Jordan to the Max," as well as the TNT documentary, "Whatever Happened to Micheal Ray?" He also worked on the production side of "Like Mike" and "Year of the Yao."

In 2003, Silver was named to TIME Magazine and CNN's list of Global Business Influentials; he has also been named to The Sporting News' "100 Most Powerful People in Sports" on multiple occasions.

The complete list of positions Silver has held within the league office include: NBA Chief of Staff, Senior Vice President of NBA Entertainment, and then President of NBA Entertainment.

He graduated from Duke University in 1984 and received a 1988 law degree from the University of Chicago.

It is assumed that Silver will succeed current Commissioner David Stern as NBA Commissioner whenever the latter decides to retire.
