Adam Silver says he hasn't "given any thought" to inquiries by owners about his willingness to switch leagues and become commissioner of the NFL.

Silver didn't confirm that he had been approached by NFL owners, but sources claim that several owners have tried to persuade Silver to run their league over the course of his five years as the NBA's commissioner.

"I'll just say I have not given it any thought," Silver told ESPN. "I feel very fortunate to be in this position. As a longtime fan, as a longtime league employee, the opportunity to become the commissioner of this league was beyond anything I even ever dreamed of as a kid.

"I've loved every day I've been in this job, and I think there's nothing but enormous opportunity ahead for this league. And ultimately, I realize I'm just passing through like every player who's gone through this league and ultimately like every owner, and I feel an enormous obligation to the fans and to this greater NBA family to do my best and try my hardest every day. But that's where 100 percent of my focus is."
