Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens was named the NBA's Executive of the Year Tuesday afternoon.
Stevens received 16 of the 30 first place votes, and was on 25 of the 30 ballots, winning in a runaway after making trades for Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday last offseason that helped Boston win a league-leading 64 games this season to claim the top seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Oklahoma City executive vice president and general manager Sam Presti finished second and Minnesota Timberwolves president of basketball operations Tim Connelly finished third, with each of them garnering four first-place votes.
