The NBA has announced that Deputy Commissioner Russ Granik, the right-hand man to Commissioner David Stern, will resign his post after this season. (NBA Press Release, 10/25/05). Granik, a 1973 graduate of Harvard Law School, joined the NBA as a staff attorney in 1976. He moved up the ranks, becoming Assistant General Counsel in 1978, General Counsel in 1980 and Executive Vice President in 1984. He was elected to his current position in 1990. Before joining the NBA, he worked for three years in a New York law firm.
Granik played a key role in the league's labor negotiations, including the CBA signed this summer, negotiated the NBA's television contracts and served as a liaison to USA Basketball. To most fans though, he was the guy that took over for Stern in the second round of the NBA draft.
