Bobby Webster (born c. 1984–85)[1] is an American professional basketball executive who is the general manager for the Toronto Raptors of the National Basketball Association (NBA).

Career

[edit]

In 2006, Webster joined the NBA's front office.[2][3] He worked with the NBA's Labor Relations Committee during the negotiations for the NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) in 2011. During his time with the NBA's front office, he advised personnel from all 30 NBA franchises on issues relating to the CBA, salary cap, and luxury tax planning. Webster served as the NBA's Associate Director for Salary Cap Management before he joined the Toronto Raptors' front office in June 2013.[4]

Webster joined the Raptors as the first hire for the team's new president and general manager, Masai Ujiri,[2] initially as the team's Vice President of Basketball Management and Strategy, and later as the Raptors' assistant general manager. In June 2017, he was named as the team's general manager to replace the outgoing Jeff Weltman, making him the youngest NBA general manager at the time he was hired.[5][6] On June 13, 2019, Webster won his first NBA championship with the Raptors.
