The Golden State Warriors have agreed to multi-year contract extensions for President & Chief Operating Officer Rick Welts and President of Basketball Operations / General Manager Bob Myers, the team announced today.
The Warriors have experienced unprecedented success in both business and basketball operations under the leadership of Welts and Myers, capturing three NBA championships (2015, 2017, 2018), becoming the first team to appear in five consecutive NBA Finals since the Boston Celtics did so 53 years ago (1957-66) and earning the coveted Sports Business Journal’s “Sports Team of the Year” Award in both 2014 and 2016.
“We feel that Rick and Bob are two of the best leaders in professional sports and, quite honestly, in any line of business,” said Warriors Co-Chairman and CEO Joe Lacob.
