Duke basketball champion elevated to extremely coveted role in NBA

Duke basketball champion Mike Dunleavy has a lot more pressure on him.

One of the most coveted jobs in the NBA is being the general manager of the Golden State Warriors and that title now belongs to Duke basketball champion Mike Dunleavy.

The organization made the announcement last week.

Dunleavy, after seeing his playing career end following the 2017 season, was hired by the Warriors as a pro scout in 2018 and was promoted to assistant general manager just one year later in 2019.

The Warriors promoted the former Blue Devil once again in 2021 to vice president of basketball operations.
