Woah … this is huge.
Bob Myers is leaving the Golden State Warriors, resigning from his positions of president and general manager, according to an announcement from the team Tuesday.
Joining Golden State‘s front office in 2011, Myers is credited with being the architect who built the Warriors dynasty that has won four NBA championships, giving him two “Executive of the Year” awards while at it.
2x NBA Executive of the Year.
4x NBA Champion.

“You can’t make it to a day like this anymore without everyone knowing what you’re going to say,” said the 48-year-old Myers at a press conference Tuesday. “I’ve only known how to do things one way my whole life. It doesn’t feel right to do something when I can’t give it everything. And that’s what it takes to do what we’ve done over the last, for me, 12 years.”

Wow.
Say what you want about Bob Myers just being a general manager, but this one is pretty iconic considering that he’s the one responsible for building the dynastic team that brought four championships to the Bay Area.
If you’re the Warriors, this has gotta sting a little bit. Sure, you still have your main corps of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, but man … moves like this usually signal a complete collapse of a dynasty or title contender, and in this case, Myers could be the first domino to fall.

Will that be the feat of the modern-day Warriors (who are currently full of drama)?
We’ll see. (*pops popcorn*)
