Who is Bob Stein?
Robert Allen Stein is a former American football linebacker. He played collegiately for the University of Minnesota and was both Football and Academic All-American in 1967 and 1968. He began his professional career in 1969 with the American Football League's Kansas City Chiefs, with whom he won the fourth and final AFL-NFL World Championship Game after the 1969 pro football season. In speaking of that game, he has said: "I will always remember guys like Jerry Mays, Johnny Robinson, Budde, Tyrer, Arbanas, Buck, Bobby Bell, etc. nearly crying in our Super Bowl locker room before Super Bowl IV when they were surprised by the AFL patch that Hank Stram put on our jersey shoulders after all the years of being called an inferior league. Winning the game wasn't bad either." Stein at age 21 was the youngest player to ever play in a Super Bowl. Stein graduated in the top 10% of the University of Missouri - Kansas City Law School, having attended while playing full-time for the Chiefs.
Stein was the first president and CEO of the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves, a position he held until 1995. He was a long-time sports agent before becoming President of the Timberwolves, and is a licensed attorney. Additionally, he was appointed to the Minnesota Boxing Commission in December 2007 by Governor Tim Pawlenty.
