Includes Author Dedication; Prologue; Epilogue: The 2017 NBA Finals; Notes and Acknowledgments. "Erik Malinowski displays a keen eye for the important moments where sport and technology have merged in Silicon Valley to create basketball nirvana." - Jonathan Abrams, columnist at Bleacher Report and New York Times, bestselling author of Boys Among Men. "When Joe Lacob and Peter Guber bought the Golden State Warriors in 2010, they implemented an organizational philosophy similar to how a tech company builds a successful product in the "beta" stage. So far, the results have been extraordinary. Two NBA championships over a three-year span; Five straight playoff appearances (after one in the previous 19 years); An unprecedented 73-win regular season; Back-to-back most valuable player (Stephen Curry); Defensive player of the year (Draymond Green); NBA coach of the year (Steve Kerr); Two-time NBA executive of the year (Bob Myers)." - from the rear outer cover. "Moneyball meets The City Game in this compelling look at how the world champion Golden State Warriors embraced savvy business practices, next-generation science, and Silicon Valley's technocentric culture to not only produce the most talented basketball team ever assembled but to revolutionize the modern NBA. Betaball is the definitive inside account of how the Warriors - under the leadership of venture capitalist Joe Lacob and Hollywood producer Peter Guber - quickly became one of the most remarkable success stories ever witnessed in sports or business. In just five years, the duo turned a declining franchise with no immediate hope into the NBA's dominant force, facilitated the rise of All-Star point guard Stephen Curry, produced the best single-season record in league history, and won two championships over a three-year span. Lacob and Guber (along with their executives, coaches, and players) did so by urging employees to speak out; encouraging cross-collaboration; investing in bold new technologies; and never resisting the urge to innovate, no matter how successful they became. In the tech industry, the term for this development stage - when your product isn't quite fully baked, so you're always in flux and open to change yet focused on the end-goal - is "beta." By operating in "beta," the Warriors morphed into a model organization for American professional sports, instituting the best workplace principles found inside the world's most successful corporations and instilling a top-down organizational ethos that allowed all of their employees - from the front office to the free-throw line - to thrive. With in-depth access and meticulous reporting on and off the court, acclaimed journalist Erk Malinowski recounts a gripping tale of worlds colliding, a team's reinvention, ordinary people being pushed to extraordinary heights, and the Golden State Warriors' unending quest to remain the best." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. "The Warriors deserved a great book written about them. Now they have one." - Will Leitch, senior writer, Sports On Earth, and founder of Deadspin; author of Are We Winning? and God Save the Fan. Sloan, Dana (interior design); Mollica, Greg (jacket design); Levy, Brian (jacket art) (illustrator).…
