In an announcement that has set the NBA world ablaze, the Golden State Warriors have confirmed that franchise legend and Hall of Famer Chris Mullin is returning to the organization — this time as the newly created Chief Basketball Officer (CBO).
The move is being described internally as “a spiritual and strategic homecoming,” bringing one of the greatest players in franchise history back into the fold in a powerful new leadership position.
“This is bigger than basketball,” said Head Coach Steve Kerr in a surprise statement late last night. “Chris Mullin coming back to this organization is like a part of our soul returning.”
🔁 The Return of a Warrior
Chris Mullin — a five-time NBA All-Star, two-time Olympic gold medalist (including as a member of the 1992 Dream Team), and longtime face of the Warriors — spent 13 seasons with Golden State. Known for his iconic lefty jumper, gritty leadership, and old-school toughness, Mullin represents the heart and heritage of the franchise.
Now, nearly 25 years after his retirement as a player and 5 years after stepping away from front-office and coaching roles, Mullin is back in the Bay — this time, to guide the next era of Warriors basketball.
“I never stopped being a Warrior,” Mullin said during a brief teaser video posted by the team. “Now it’s time to give back — in a whole new way.”
🏆 What Is a Chief Basketball Officer?
According to sources close to the team, Mullin’s new position will sit above the GM level — overseeing player development, basketball operations, scouting, and even cultural leadership within the franchise.
It’s a role meant not just to win games — but to shape the Warriors’ identity for the next generation.
Team owner Joe Lacob called the move “historic” and described Mullin as “a bridge between our championship past and our championship future.”
👨👩👦 The Kerr Family’s Emotional Reaction
In a rare joint statement, the Kerr family expressed their excitement:
“Chris has always been a symbol of integrity, humility, and excellence — values we try to live by in our home and build into this team every day,” said Steve Kerr’s wife, Margot Kerr. “Having him back feels like a blessing.”
Steve Kerr added, “It’s not just that he knows the game. It’s that the game respects him.”
🌐 NBA Community Reacts
From players to executives, reactions poured in across the league:
- Magic Johnson: “Chris Mullin is one of the smartest basketball minds I’ve ever known. Warriors just leveled up.”
- Stephen Curry (via Instagram story): “Let’s GO!!! #MullyBack”
- Charles Barkley, on Inside the NBA: “Man, the Warriors don’t miss. Mullin is a basketball genius. That’s a championship move.”
🔮 What’s Next?
Mullin will reportedly meet with the team next week and begin preparations for NBA Training Camp 2025, where he will work closely with Kerr and the front office on player evaluations and long-term strategy.
Fans are speculating this may be part of a longer-term succession plan as the Warriors prepare for a post-Kerr era — or possibly the transition into a “superstructure” front office built around legacy and long-term stability.
💬 Final Word
Chris Mullin returning to the Warriors isn’t just a nostalgic moment — it’s a statement of purpose.
The Warriors aren’t just planning for next season.
They’re building a dynasty — with legends at the helm.
And as Mullin himself said in his first official message:
“We’re not done.”
