The Warriors president of basketball operations is now the president of interviewing operations on an ESPN podcast about leadership. Mark Jackson will not be one of the guests.
Move over, “Point Forward.” Grab some pine, “The Draymond Green Show.” There’s a new podcaster in town for the Golden State Warriors.
His name is Bob Myers, and he wants to talk about leadership.

“Lead By Example” is a new podcast from ESPN, in conjunction with Peyton Manning’s entertainment company, Omaha Productions. In it, Myers is a going to talk to other leaders, like Disney CEO Bob Iger, who ultimately leads ESPN. Should be a hard-hitting interview.
He’s also talking to Mike “Coach K” Krzyzewski about leading Duke and losing to North Carolina in his two biggest final games, to Governor Gavin Newsom about leading California and attending large group dinners at the French Laundry during the pandemic, and to Commissioner Adam Silver about leading the NBA and being best friends with Jared Kushner.
One lesson Myers learned while leading the Warriors was that Steph Curry is the most important part of his success. As such, Curry will be the guest on the debut edition of “Lead By Example,” where he will talk about leading the Warriors, leading the league in three-pointers, and leading on poor Hornets fans who still think he’s going to play in Charlotte someday.
Other guests include WNBA star and criminal justice reformer Maya Moore Irons, Las Vegas Aces coach Becky Hammon, and Charles Barkley, who will hopefully discuss the time he rapped about Taco Bell while wearing a suit that even David Byrne would call “a little large.”
All proceeds from the podcast will go to the Warriors Community Foundation.
With Myers still unsigned for next year, perhaps he’s preparing for a pivot to a media career. Perhaps he’s jealous of seeing players he brought in - Andre Iguodala, Draymond Green, Kevin Durant - go on to wild podcast success, and they never book him! Poor Myers has to go on “Steiny & Guru” while Iguodala interviews Ty Jerome instead. Plus it has to get tedious getting screenshots of fake deals from the ESPN Trade Machine at all hours of the night from Joe Lacob.
So the Warriors no longer have to worry about their power forward podcasting during the NBA Finals. They just have to worry about their general manager podcasting during the trade deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who did the first basket in NBA basketball?
Ossie Schectman, an American professional basketball player, scored the first basket in the Basketball Association of America. This was later to become the National Basketball Association. The Toronto Huskies played the New York Knickerbockers on November 1, 1946. Schectman's historic inaugural basket opened up the BAA’s inaugural season.
What is the NBA salary cap?
The NBA salary cap sets a maximum salary that each team can pay. Each year, the league decides what this limit is. It is designed to ensure parity between teams by preventing teams from signing multiple high-priced players and creating an unfair advantage. For free agents and trades, teams must keep the cap below 50 players. They can surpass it if there are certain exceptions such as signing players with Bird rights or offering contracts with player salaries that count against the cap with the rest being paid out in bonuses. The league's salary cap plays an important role in ensuring a balanced playing field between teams.
Who invented basketball?
It is not clear where the original origins for basketball were, however, many believe that James Naismith developed the game while he was a teacher at Springfield College (now YMCA Training School) in Springfield. Naismith created the rules and attached a peach basket to an elevated track. He formed nine teams from his 18-member class and began to teach them the basics. The original version used a soccer ball, and two peach baskets tacked to either end of a gymnasium. It was possible to shoot from the bottom of the basket; goaltending was not yet an aspect of the game. Basketball spread quickly across America and was soon organized with professional teams playing at large venues. It is today one of the most loved sports in the world.
What is the greatest NBA team?
This is a topic that has been hotly debated for decades. The "showtime Lakers of 1980-1989" held the league's crown for almost a decade and won five championships. They were led by Hall of Famer Magic Johnson, Kareem A Abdul-Jabbar, and Kareem Abdul–Jabbar. During that period, the Lakers were also home to superstars like James Worthy or Byron Scott.
From 200 to 2004, the Los Angeles Lakers (later known as Shaw and Kobe Lakers) were a formidable force. Defended by the dynamic duo of Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant - both Hall of Famers - they won three championships in a row from 2000 to 2002.
The Chicago Bulls of 1995-1996 were also a dominant force in that era. They won six championships with Phil Jackson as their head coach and were led by Michael Jordan, widely considered the greatest player of our time. The Chico Bulls from 1995-1996 are among the most storied teams in NBA history. They won their first of three consecutive NBA titles and set a new record with 72 wins. In 2015-2016 the Bulls' 72-10 record for regular season broke by the Golden State Warriors.
The Boston Celtics of the 1960s are perhaps the most famed dynasty in the history of the NBA, winning eight consecutive championships and 11 titles in 13 years under Hall of Fame head coach Red Auerbach. Legendary players such as Sam Jones, Bob Cousysy, John Havlicek, John Cousysy and John Havlicek created a winning culture for the Celtics that has endured for decades.
The San Antonio Spurs is also considered a top contender to be the best NBA team. The Spurs have won four championships since 1999 and enjoyed one of the most successful runs in NBA history. Gregg Popovich and Tony Parker, future Hall of Famer, Manu Ginobili as head coaches, improved the team’s basketball approach. This emphasised a team-first mentality which helped them succeed.
The Golden State Warriors are one of the most successful teams in NBA history, with four championships in the last decade. Steve Kerr and superstar players Stephen Curry (Kevin Durant), Klay Thompson (head coach) lead them. The Warriors play an exciting brand of basketball that has thrilled fans worldwide and are also in the conversation for the greatest NBA dynasty of all time.
The task of choosing the greatest NBA dynasty is not an easy one. Each team had its own unique set of players and coaches that made it successful. However, some were more successful than others because of their dominance. You could argue that the greatest NBA dynasty was made up of the Bulls, Bulls Bulls, Celtics Spurs, Spurs, and Warriors.
Who is the NBA's best defender ever?
It would be no surprise to anyone who is familiar in basketball to find "The Dream", at the top of this list. Hakeem Olajuwon blocked 3,830 shot during his 18-year NBA playing career. This number is higher than any other player in NBA history. He was also an All Defensive player 9 times and 2 times DPOY. His team won two NBA Championships. He was a great defender. His footwork, timing, and athleticism made him a good shot blocker as well as a rebounder. He was a nightmare to opposing players because he could guard any position on court. He was also one the most offensive players. He had incredible agility, quickness, and a deadly array of spin moves, which allowed him to score in the post. His versatility and ability to play all positions made him one the most valuable players in the game, not to mention defenders. There is no doubt that Hakeem Olajuwon deserves to be at the top of this list.
Bill Russell ranks only #2 on this list, with an average of 15.1 points per game. But he was a formidable defender in his era and gave opponents nightmares. Bill Russell is an NBA legend. He has won 11 NBA Championships throughout his career and has the highest defensive win rates in NBA history with 133.64. He was a key component of the Boston Celtics' fantastic success, as his defensive prowess and rebounding ability were essential to their championship wins. Many consider him the most decorated NBA defender. His ability to read and anticipate play made him an intimidating presence on court.
This is the third place list, with Dennis Rodman. He was one the most important players in NBA history. His contributions were always significant. Rodman played tough defence, rebounded well, and didn't need the ball to score, which allowed his team win often. Dennis Rodman was a seven-time All-Defensive Champion, eight-time All-Defensive Player and two-time DPOY. He also became a five-time NBA Champion. His perseverance on defense was unmatched. He seemed to always be in the right spot at exactly the right moment. He was also a skilled rebounder. He would often out-jump taller players, and take their boards away.
What is a restricted free player in the NBA?
A restricted free agent in the NBA is a player who has completed their rookie contract and becomes an unrestricted free agent whose rights are still held by their previous team. In this case, the team can match any offer sheet made to them by another team. If they do, the player must continue to play for their team and remain within their contract. This allows teams the opportunity to retain valuable players, even though they may not be able pay them due to their salary cap. Restricted free agents are a type of free agent that can provide teams with valuable flexibility when building their rosters.
Who holds the record in terms of career playoff wins for the NBA?
LeBron Jam is the leading figure in the NBA Playoffs history with 174 wins and 266 games, so it's no surprise that he's one of the most sought after basketball players.
