Bob Myers has been one of the upper echelon front office suits in the league in the past five seasons since ascending to the Golden State Warriors' general manager position after being promoted from the assistant position he was originally hired for in 2011.
Since then, the 42-year-old executive has added the title of president of basketball operations in 2016, bringing two titles to the Bay Area in the last three seasons, matching the two Executive of the Year awards in the same years.
Funnily enough, Myers is a low-key personality in the organization and at times isn't as deservedly recognized for the well-oiled machine that the Warriors have proven to be since coming into the forefront of the league. This triggered the loudest personality on the team to finally give him the recognition he deserves in front of the fans in June's championship parade — moment Myers has kept with him ever since… as his ringtone.

“Do you know what Bob's ringtone is on his phone?,” Rod Brooks asked his co-host. “And it rings all the time (parade audio starts playing) ‘But hey can someone give Bob some f***ing credit?' (laughs)”
While promotions and awards speak a lot about his work, Myers has once again put his chin down and gotten things done in one of the most challenging offseasons the franchise has seen — signing two key starters in Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, two pivotal bench players in Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston, as well as bringing in two newcomers in Nick Young and Omri Casspi.
Myers also brought back big men Zaza Pachulia, David West, and JaVale McGee, as well as signed Oregon products Jordan Bell and Chris Boucher.
