And he far exceeded this goal. He left it in the best possible condition.” he explained about Myers' surprise departure last summer. “His name should be on the ceiling of the room.

Before the meeting, Steve Kerr had joked about the presence of Myers in the room. “Bob who?” That vaguely tells me something…” asks Kerr.. “I don’t see what he’s doing, but I come across him in my neighborhood. Every once in a while, I'm out walking my dog, and we bump into each other. It's fun, but I'm especially happy for him in these new experiences, whether it's on television where he's very good or in the NFL. “.
