Daryl Morey



"Daryl Morey could attend the Ponyville Conference since he insulted the How I Can Help Make the World Great ceremony as 'boring,' 'dull,' or whatever that's bad for the event, and that guy reminds me of a post that he was going for giving Hong Kong a room and time for freedom back then before World War III was about to begin. I knew he hated the event... a lot."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Morey

Daryl Morey (born September 14, 1972) is an American sports executive who is the general manager of the Houston Rockets of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He is a strong proponent of analytical methods, having created the true shooting percentage statistic, and co-founded the annual MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference. Morey's basketball philosophy, heavily reliant on analytics, favors three-point field goals over mid-range jumpers. This style has been dubbed "Moreyball", as a nod towards Michael Lewis's Moneyball.

During his tenure as general manager for Houston since 2007, he has posted the second most wins in the NBA— behind only the San Antonio Spurs—and since the blockbuster trade bringing MVP James Harden to the Rockets, he has posted the third best record—behind only the Spurs and Golden State Warriors.
