00:00I got to say this, man, kudos to Bob Myers.
00:05He is head of Harris Blitzer Sports and Entertainment.
00:09And ever since Bob Myers, the architect of the Golden State Warriors dynasty,
00:17the 76ers are playing in a different lane.
00:20They don't even look like the old process.
00:23You know the old Elton Brand process?
00:25He says, hey, we're going to tank for five years and absolutely go through the process.
00:30And you know what the process has gotten them so far?
00:33They can't get out of the opening round of the NBA playoffs.
00:37That's what the process has led them to.
00:39And now you put a guy who knows what he's doing.
00:43They are just operating in a completely different lane.
00:48You go out and you end up moving that Paul George contract,
00:51which I said was one of the biggest albatrosses that that 76er franchise had.
00:56You moved off of the pathetic general manager in Daryl Morey.
01:01You hire Bob Myers.
01:04And somehow Myers is ending up doing this.
01:07He goes and gets Jalen Brown, adds him to the 76ers starting five.
01:13Then a month later, he turns around and he gets LeBron James in the building.
01:19Dude, the hiring of Bob Myers by Josh Harris, the owner, kudos to that dude.
01:25I know Bob pretty well.
01:27And when he was there in Golden State, it was cool because you know what really
01:32and who helped him a lot in navigating through the waters there when he was running
01:37the Golden State Warriors?
01:39Of course, it was the logo himself, Jerry West.
01:43Jerry West was a consultant in that organization.
01:45And while they were building that thing up, Myers was learning from one of the greatest,
01:51if not the greatest, executive slash player in NBA history, in Jerry West.
01:58Dude, you know what the biggest significant move they made was?
02:02A non-move.
02:03You know what that was?
02:04There was talk of them even early on in Steph Curry's career that they were going to move
02:10Steph Curry.
02:11You know what Jerry West said?
02:12Are you crazy?
02:14And Bob Myers said, you're right.
02:17And they turned around and they went on to win four NBA championships with Steph.
02:23I mean, look, Myers has gone in there and already, he's already wielded his magic.
02:28The 76ers are in a different lane.
02:31They just made a recent move also, adding a little more depth to their basketball team.
02:35That doesn't even look like what they've done with Elton Brand and with Daryl Morey.
02:42They're operating completely in a different lane.
02:45And it looks like Bob Myers has been, without a doubt, rejuvenated in running a basketball team
02:51and trying to get another championship.
02:54Hey, I'll make this point to you, too.
02:56LeBron getting another championship?
02:58That's cool.
02:59How about Bob Myers going to Philadelphia and him end up getting himself an NBA championship
03:06and another championship?
03:08Wow.
03:09Hey, man, that guy is one great team executive.
03:12And it shows already since he's taken the reins there in Philadelphia.
03:16I love you.
