Bob Myers Appointed President of HBSE Sports

Bob Myers, the former General Manager and President of the Golden State Warriors, has been appointed President of Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment (HBSE) Sports, the organization announced on October 17, 2025. In this role, Myers will oversee HBSE's diverse sports portfolio, which includes the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers, the NHL's New Jersey Devils, Premier League club Crystal Palace, and NASCAR's Joe Gibbs Racing.

Myers brings a wealth of experience to HBSE, having spent 12 years with the Golden State Warriors. During his tenure, the Warriors secured four NBA championships (2015, 2017, 2018, and 2022), and Myers was honored as NBA Executive of the Year in 2015 and 2017. Prior to his time with the Warriors, Myers worked as a sports agent for 14 years, representing numerous high-profile athletes.

In 2024, Myers collaborated with HBSE co-founder Josh Harris in an advisory capacity, particularly during the hiring processes for the NFL's Washington Commanders, where Harris serves as the Managing Partner. This collaboration included the appointments of General Manager Adam Peters and Head Coach Dan Quinn.

HBSE, co-founded by Josh Harris and David Blitzer, is a global sports and entertainment company with a portfolio that includes:

  • Philadelphia 76ers (NBA):
  • New Jersey Devils (NHL):
  • Crystal Palace F.C. (Premier League):
  • Joe Gibbs Racing (NASCAR):

Additionally, HBSE has an investment in the NFL's Washington Commanders, with Harris serving as the Managing Partner.

Josh Harris and David Blitzer expressed their enthusiasm for Myers' appointment, stating, "Our goal has been to hire, grow, and retain the best and brightest executives in the world, and we are a stronger, more dynamic organization with the addition of Bob Myers."

Myers shared his excitement about the new role, saying, "This role was intriguing because it provides the opportunity to work with some of the industry's most talented leaders ... ."

Myers' appointment is expected to have several implications:

  • Strategic Leadership: His proven track record in building championship teams suggests he will bring strategic insights to HBSE's sports properties, potentially enhancing their competitive performance.

  • Cross-Sport Synergies: Overseeing a diverse portfolio allows for the sharing of best practices and operational efficiencies across different sports franchises.

  • Global Expansion: Myers' experience and reputation may aid HBSE in expanding its global footprint and attracting international talent and partnerships.

This appointment marks a significant transition for Myers from team-specific management to overseeing a multi-sport conglomerate. While it's not uncommon for executives to move between roles within the sports industry, Myers' shift from an NBA-focused career to a broader sports management role is noteworthy.

As part of his new role, Myers will be involved with the Philadelphia 76ers, who have the following upcoming games:

| Date | Opponent | Location | Time (PDT) | |------------|--------------------|--------------------|------------| | Oct 22, 25 | 76ers @ Celtics | Boston, MA | 4:30 PM | | Oct 25, 25 | Hornets @ 76ers | Philadelphia, PA | 4:30 PM | | Oct 27, 25 | Magic @ 76ers | Philadelphia, PA | 4:00 PM | | Oct 28, 25 | 76ers @ Wizards | Washington, D.C. | 4:00 PM | | Oct 31, 25 | Celtics @ 76ers | Philadelphia, PA | 4:00 PM |

Bob Myers' appointment as President of HBSE Sports signifies a strategic move to bolster the organization's leadership and competitive edge across its global sports properties. His extensive experience and proven success in team building are poised to drive HBSE's franchises toward sustained excellence.
