Steve Brandes is the President of NBA D-League Operations for the Milwaukee Bucks, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t sell tickets anymore.
Brandes started his career as an account executive with the Idaho Stampede, back when that team was still a part of the now-defunct Continental Basketball Association. He went from account executive to having pretty much every job possible with the Stampede, aside from player and head coach.
Four years into his time with the team, the Stampede moved from the CBA to the NBA Development League, and Brandes became president and GM of the team.
