When we go to an NBA game we are there to see the players on the court, but what we’re really witnessing is the work of dozens of people putting on one of the most consistently high-quality entertainment products in the world. The amount of work that goes on behind the scenes to make sure an NBA event goes off without a hitch can’t be understated. It is the result of hard work from people across multiple sectors from marketing to management to the arena staff. Of course, when someone grows up wanting to work in the NBA they usually don’t typically dream of being on the side that isn’t in the spotlight. However, we adjust when it becomes apparent to most of us at some point in our life that we won’t be an NBA star. Sometimes our adjustments get us at least close to our childhood dreams.
