Adam Silver (born April 25, 1962) is an American lawyer and sports executive who is the fifth and current commissioner of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
He joined the NBA in 1992, and has served in a variety of executive positions with the league, becoming chief operating officer and deputy commissioner under his predecessor and mentor David Stern in 2006.
When Stern retired in 2014, Silver was named the new commissioner. Under his guidance as commisioner, the league continued to grow economically, growing the league's exposure worldwide, especially in China.
He presided over a number of controversies, including racist remarks made by Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling in 2014, whom Silver banned for life from the game, and over conflict between the league and the People's Republic of China over comments made by Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey in support of the 2019 Hong Kong protests.
