Barbara Bush never got to any of the NBA championship celebrations held at the White House when her grandfather was president of the United States
She got to the one held for Golden State earlier this year — as an NBA employee.
The granddaughter of President George H.W. Bush and the daughter of President George W. Bush had found herself aligned with the NBA before on various issues through her work as a co-founder of the Global Health Corps. But she never envisioned actually working for the league, until the COVID-19 pandemic made her take notice.
She joined the NBA two years later, with no designs of using her political dynasty of a last name as her way to get things done. Her hiring was kept so quiet that shortly after she got hired at the NBA, two other employees spotted her in a break room and couldn’t believe how much their new colleague looked like Barbara Bush.
