I think in the NBA, if I went to the store and bought a puzzle, the NBA puzzle is like 20 pieces. The NFL puzzle trying to put that together is a 100-piece puzzle. That’s to me the fascinating part about the NFL. There’s offense. There’s defense. There’s special teams. There’s the salary cap. The way they structure deals!”

Good read on Bob Myers. He was not responsible for drafting Steph Curry or Klay Thompson but it's clear he had a big role in making those championship teams that won 4 titles in 6 appearances. Yes - he's not an X's and O's guy but he knows leadership and what's necessary to win consistently.

Another quote from this Athletic piece on him.

But as long as you don’t break. You have to view it almost as like a family — that no matter what happens, we’re blood, and we’re going to see it through. But that’s a challenge, because you’re really not blood, but you’re as close as you can get, ’cause you’re with each other all the time.”
