About Sam Presti
Sam Presti is the general manager of the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was originally hired as GM by the organization while they were still the Seattle Sonics in 2007. Presti is credited with establishing a culture of winning once they relocated to Oklahoma City. He oversaw the drafting of franchise cornerstones Kevin Durant, James Harden and Russell Westbrook. That trio helped lead the Thunder to the NBA Finals in 2012. Presti has always been regarded as one of the more aggressive GMs in basketball. Dating back to his time in Seattle, he traded standouts, Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis, helping usher in the success that would later follow in Oklahoma City. Presti built a reputation while working in the San Antonio Spurs organizations. He originally started as an intern under general manager R.C. Buford. Presti played college basketball at the Division III level at Virginia Wesleyan University and Emerson College.

Basketball Speakers
The NBA is globally one of the most popular sports in the world, which make basketball speakers in-demand talent. Corporate groups, charities, universities, faith-based groups, and other organizations understand the value of having a current or retired NBA player, coach, or broadcaster at their event. Basketball speakers impart lessons from their careers at in-person speaking engagements, virtual events, and other types of meetings. The topics they speak on most often include leadership, teamwork and overcoming adversity.
Sports Team Executive Speakers
Sports team executives are tasked with making difficult decisions about the teams they run each day. The front office of a professional franchise operates with many of the same challenges found in regular businesses. The decisions that these general managers, team presidents and other top staff make can affect the future of their organizations for years to come. Sports team executive speakers are familiar with corporate structures making them excellent for conferences, virtual meetings, trade shows, meetings and a host of other events.
