“He was family first,” Jackie Harris said when contacted by Newsday. “He was always [there for his] children. And always his job. He felt that the NBA was his family just as much as we were. He was a family guy, and he was lucky enough to have two families.”
In his role with the NBA, Harris was responsible for creating schedules for the NBA, WNBA and NBA Developmental League. He developed the WNBA’s broadcasting unit and managed relations between the league and its broadcast partners.
