NBA: How does someone become an NBA GM?

[cheguevara]

I'd say out of all the GMs in the world, the bottom 12-15 practice their trade on the NBA. And that's including ALL GMs of the world, including all kinds of leagues like the bowling league, little league, senior citizens leagues and like that.

The majority of GMs and front office people are winners of the genetic lottery or have connections with winners of the genetic lottery(former NBA/college/international players)..

There are 5/6 out of the 30 that were either former agents, or former lower-level employees that eventually got promoted after 15+ years of working in basketball..

Though a good chunk of NBA GM's are dumb, you have to take into consideration connections in here. I'm sure those lottery winner guys generally have more connections than your average agent or lower level empoyee.
