Bob Myers is one of the most prolific executives in the NBA building a winning culture and managing a championship team for several seasons in Golden State. He was the mastermind, who decided to build the Warriors’ team around Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.
The Warriors GM explained that his main take from the first two episodes of the “The Last Dance” documentary is that it really proves that things have a lifetime.
“When you watch something like that, it reminds you how hard it is to keep something together,” Myers said on 95.7 The Game. “That was my takeaway from it. It’s hard to understand. Even (Michael) Jordan himself said, ‘We’re winning. Let us keep trying to do this.’ But you realize that in the midst of it all what happens with great success, and great notoriety, and great attention, and all the money, and all the fame … it’s very hard.
It’s why bands break up. Why’d that team break up? Because within all that, there’s so many dynamics. And to keep it all aligned, is work … you have to sacrifice. When you’re trying to win, you don’t get to do it all on your own terms. But you do get to win … so it’s fascinating to watch. You get to see some of the (Scottie) Pippen stuff and some of the discord.
I’m not even picking on the Bulls because it’s human nature. It almost happens to everybody. Things have a lifetime and then they end.”
