More About Bob Myers

After more than a decade in the front office, Bob Myers stepped away from his role as President and General Manager of the NBA’s Golden State Warriors in May 2023. The year prior, the Warriors had won the NBA Championship for the fourth time in eight years. In 2017, Myers himself was named the NBA Executive of the Year for the second time in two years. He was first awarded that title in 2015 for building a roster that won a franchise-record 67 regular-season games and culminated in winning the 2015 NBA Championship – the team’s first title in 40 years. The Warriors finished with a combined 83 victories in the regular season and postseason, the third-most wins in NBA history. Myers also won a championship as a player, having been a member of the UCLA Bruins’ squad that captured the NCAA title in 1995.

Myers was named General Manager on April 24, 2012. During his first three seasons as GM, Myers assembled teams that earned four straight trips to the NBA Playoffs, marking the first time the Warriors earned four consecutive postseason berths since 1949-52.

In August 2023, it was announced that Myers would join ESPN as both a studio and game analyst. Per the network's press release: “Myers will appear on the ABC editions of NBA Countdown, including for the NBA Saturday Primetime on ABC and NBA Sunday Showcase on ABC series during the regular season and throughout the NBA Playoffs. He will also call games during the season."

Before joining the Warriors, Myers spent the previous five years at Wasserman Media Group (WMG), one of the largest global sports and entertainment companies in the world. As managing executive, Myers represented a client list of nearly 20 NBA players in their team and endorsement contracts. With a well-earned reputation as one of the top player agents in the NBA, Myers was a recipient of the prestigious “40 under 40” Award in 2011, presented annually by the Sports Business Journal to the 40 most influential sports executives under the age of 40.
