Pistons legend and former team president Joe Dumars is embarking on a new journey in the NBA as the league’s newest executive vice president and head of basketball operations.
In a recent interview with Andscape, ESPN senior NBA writer Marc Spears talked to Dumars about his latest role with the NBA, his Hall of Fame playing career and how former Pistons owner Bill Davidson convinced him to join the franchise’s front office.
Before his recent appointment, Dumars served as the chief strategy officer with the Sacramento Kings for the past three seasons. His new job responsibilities include the oversight of all basketball operations matters for the NBA, including the development of playing rules and interpretations, conduct and discipline, and policies and procedures relating to the operation of games.
