Bob Myers on Philly Acquiring LeBron & Jaylen Brown, Building Champions, and Tough NBA Decisions

Bob Myers joins Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady on The Cousins for an in-depth conversation about the pressure, people skills, and long-term vision required to build a championship organization.

The former Warriors executive shares his blueprint for creating a title-contending roster, including the traits he values in players and why the best organizations make difficult decisions without allowing emotion to take over. Bob also explains why honest communication between coaches and star players is essential, the challenges that come with a superstar potentially leaving your franchise, and how a front office begins rebuilding after several tough seasons.

Myers reflects on his unique path from NBA agent to front-office executive, what ultimately drew him back to an NBA front office, and the lessons he learned while helping build one of the league’s most successful eras. He also opens up about the impact he hopes to leave on the game and how he wants to be remembered beyond wins and championships.

Plus, Vince, T-Mac, and Bob break down Philadelphia’s massive offseason after acquiring LeBron James and Jaylen Brown, debate the Golden State Warriors’ win total in FanDuel’s Pick a Side, and take on Xfinity Court Connections and NHTSA Game Changing Decisions.
