The National Basketball Association's Executive of the Year Award is an annual award given since the 197273 NBA season, to the league's best general managers. Before 2009, the Executive of the Year is presented annually by Sporting News, although it is officially recognized by the NBA.[1] Since then, the award was awarded by the NBA.[2] Voting is conducted by executives from the league's 30 teams. The person with the most number of votes wins the award.[3]

Since its inception, the award has been given to 27 different general managers. Jerry Colangelo, the first general manager for the Phoenix Suns, is the only person to win the award four times. Bob Bass, Wayne Embry, Bob Ferry, Stan Kasten, Jerry Krause, Geoff Petrie, Jerry West as well as Jerry Colangelo's son Bryan Colangelo have all won the award twice.[4] All of the award winners were born in the United States. The most recent award winners are Chicago Bulls general manager Gar Forman and Miami Heat president Pat Riley (whose job includes that of general manager). Riley joins Red Auerbach as the only recipients to have also received NBA Coach of the Year.
