There are six black General Managers that I can think of-

Elgin Baylor - Clippers
Isiah Thomas - Knicks
Bernie Bickerstaff - Bobcats
Billy King - 76ers
Joe Dumars - Pistons
Billy Knight - Hawks


NBA HQ -

13 people of color in vice president positions
13 women in vice president positions
League Office professional staff at 29 percent
The support staff is 53 percent minorities
Limited partners as owners with 6 and 1 primary owner Bobcats
CEOs/ team presidents with 10 percent
Ronnie Nunn is the Supervisor of Officials
Like I said, I don't think the NBA is a racist organization. I'm glad to see the numbers support my "gut" feeling. Thanks for the info, Tony.
