BREAKING NEWS: The Senior Advisor to the President of the Golden State Warriores Rick Welts Just Gave His First Speech — What He Said Shocked Millions! **What if a 60 yr Old could change the……..
In a stunning turn of events that has taken the sports world—and beyond—by storm, Rick Welts, the revered former President and current Senior Advisor to the President of the Golden State Warriors, stepped onto the stage last night and delivered a speech that no one saw coming.
Known for decades as a behind-the-scenes mastermind of basketball’s business revolution, Welts had largely remained out of the limelight since retiring from day-to-day operations in 2021. But now, at 70, he’s proven that leadership—and legacy—don’t expire with age.
A Bold Vision from a Basketball Legend
In front of a packed crowd at Chase Center and streaming live to millions across the globe, Welts began his speech with a single, electrifying question:
“What if a 60-year-old could change the way we think about youth, sports, leadership… and life itself?”
He wasn’t just talking about basketball.
Welts laid out a powerful vision for a new initiative called “The Fourth Quarter Project”—a global movement aimed at redefining the role of older generations in shaping the future of sports, business, and social justice. He argued that experience, wisdom, and resilience are being wasted in a culture obsessed with youth and immediacy.
Shockwaves Through the NBA — and Beyond
As Welts spoke, jaws dropped—not just because of what he was saying, but who was listening. Warriors majority owner Joe Lacob, head coach Steve Kerr, and even players like Stephen Curry were seen nodding in stunned agreement. Moments after the speech, social media exploded:
- @NBAInsider: “Did Rick Welts just change the game again? That was more than a speech — that was a call to arms.”
- @Curry30: “Honored to be in the building. Respect to a true visionary. This ain’t over.”
A Call to Action for a New Generation—of Every Age
Welts’ most shocking declaration? He plans to recruit a dream team of retired athletes, executives, and community leaders to act as mentors, innovators, and advocates for underserved youth worldwide.
“Retirement doesn’t mean retreat. It means redeploy,” Welts said to roaring applause.
And it wasn’t just talk. Minutes after stepping off the stage, sources confirmed that former legends from the NBA, WNBA, and international leagues were already expressing interest in joining the movement.
What Comes Next?
The full details of The Fourth Quarter Project are expected to be announced in the coming weeks. But one thing is clear: Rick Welts isn’t done changing the game. If anything, he’s just warming up.
