The clash between the LA Lakers and the LA Clippers is underway. LeBron James and Co. are looking to improve their record by beating a fully healthy Clippers squad. But it was not King James’ first-half dominance that garnered the fans’ attention early in the game.

The NBA World was more surprised by seeing a familiar face courtside in a new role. The Golden State Warriors’ former President and General Manager, Bob Myers, was seen taking the mic courtside during the game. The ex-GM’s new role astounded the fans, and they expressed their shock on social media.

Bob Myers’ new courtside role shocks fans

Bob Myers stepped down as the President and General Manager of the Warriors franchise this May. He held that position for 12 years and was a key member in building the Golden State Warriors dynasty as we know it today. After a successful stint as the Warriors GM, Bob Myers decided to take his career in a new direction.

The 48-year-old former basketball executive took on the role of a courtside commentator with ESPN and announced that he would call several games this season. Many fans were not aware of Myers’ new career choice and were shocked to see the former GM calling the Lakers-Clippers game from the sidelines.

Can the Warriors succeed without Bob Myers?

Bob Myers became the Golden State Warriors GM in 2012. Since then, the two-time NBA Executive of the Year has made several key decisions that helped Stephen Curry and Co. win four NBA championships and become one of the most dominant dynasties in league history.

This is the first season in 12 years that the Golden State Warriors will play under new management. There have already been many changes in the Warriors roster with the addition of Point God Chris Paul and others.

Stephen Curry and Co. are hoping to continue the reign of their dynasty by winning their fifth title this season. But with significant changes in their roster and upper management, it will not be an easy task. The Warriors franchise will have to adapt to a lot of new changes quickly, as the competition has only gotten tougher this season. However, the Warriors are off to a good start, as they have won three of their first four games.

Stephen Curry and Co. are also in action against the Sacramento Kings tonight. And they will look to continue their impressive start to the season while their former GM calls their rival LeBron James’ game.
