speaks to the spurs' success in defying the "conveyor belt" system that makes the ncaa and nba so corrupt.

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/26/sports/basketball/revered-in-nba-spurs-leader-remembers-his-california-roots.html?ref=basketball

knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%

Dolan reads this as fiction!

Thanks for posting! That base with Larry's ruthlessness was a nice combination to build on.

Pop is no doubt his own man and with a team that has no fear!

good read. The spurs are truly a reflection of pop,who is a reflection of his upbringing at the small college.. May we someday be so lucky to land such a person on the knicks.

and phil reads it as a competing narrative, sort of. difference is that phil is able to deal with entitled and pampered primadonnas and still gets what he wants for the most part because his triangle forces his players to play closer to the right way. if the "uncoachable" bryant doesn't deviate from the script who knows he may have been able to win more than 5 titles.

i have confidence that his influence will be felt and his voice heard no matter who the "marionette" ends up being.

makes no sense to have any candidate who can't carry out agendas and orders from higher-ups with the knicks now. the coach must in effect be phil jackson's proxy.

The credit need to go to Owner Peter Holt. The owner set the directive and while Pop was successful there were bumps along the way. Some owners would egotistically make changes but Holt let a culture evolve.

Funny, It started with Larry Brown!

The great thing about Pops new system (he implemented a lot of Dantonis offensive principles once Duncan started regressing) is that it doesn't create superstars. On any other team, Leonard could be a go to, max type player, but since he plays in a very structured system, where everybody and anybody can score and dish, he's kind of held back, therefore can't really ask for what he can really be worth. I think that's the best part of his strategy.

If Love, or any other marquee free agent that wants to win, had an ounce of common sense, he would sign there, but Love also probably wants his money, but Pop doesn't really need him, because he's not going to need Love jacking shots to the tune of 26 points per game, he can get somebody a lot cheaper that gives him 15, because that's all the load said player would need to carry on that team...think about that.

Plug and play.

Great article. I'd add JvG to the list of sub-division I player coaches . . . he was an all star . . . at Nazareth College.
