When I think of Bob Myers, who recently announced his resignation after more than a decade as the Golden State Warriors general manager, one image comes to my head.
It was a few years ago, and I was standing in the ramp that heads to the underground garage at the artist then known as Staples Center. It was the morning of a game between the Warriors and the Los Angeles Clippers, and media availability for shootaround was starting soon.
On game nights there’s a whole setup for the media. There’s a special entrance for media members at the arena that feeds you straight down a set of stairs and onto the court or into the media room — no crowds, no lines, no waiting.
