Bob Myers
Bob Myers, class of 1993, was a 2-year varsity basketball player who earned 1st Team All-League honors and 3rd Team All-Metro his senior year. Bob walked on to the UCLA basketball team where he and the Bruins captured the 1995 NCAA Championship during his sophomore season and advanced to the 1997 Elite Eight two years later.
This year, Bob will begin his eighth season as General Manager of the Golden State Warriors and fourth with the additional title- President of Basketball Operations. During his tenure, the Warriors have enjoyed their most successful stretch in franchise history, posting a .732 regular-season winning percentage (420-154), which is the best record in the NBA over that stretch. The Warriors have earned seven straight trips to the NBA Playoffs for the first time since doing so in each of the NBA’s first six seasons in existence from 1946-47 through 1951-52. The franchise had qualified for the playoffs just once in the previous 18 years.
Myers has assembled a roster that has won three NBA titles in the last five seasons (2015, 2017, 2018) and made five consecutive appearances in the NBA Finals. The Warriors (2014-19) tied the Celtics (1980-85) for the most regular-season wins (373) in NBA history over a six season span, including an NBA-record 73 wins in 2015-16. Myers earned the NBA Executive of the Year award in both 2014-15 and 2016-17 and is the only executive in Warriors history to earn Executive of the Year honors multiple times and one of only five in league history to earn the honor twice in a span of three seasons.
