you know wha i'll have to agree with you on that. i was thinking that the Larry Browns' and the Phil jacksons' would come-a-charging for free money

but you just may be right

speaking of black man - that's three black head coaches in a row for the knicks. at least we know dolan doesn't belong to the "good old boys" club.

herb has said things neither lenny nor chaney ever did. that probably won't change the outcome of games but could change the way the team plays and the attitudes of the players.

my guess, unless marbury shows some respect to the coach and play defense from the get go - and like herb said, it's all effort, not talent, then nothing will change.

ewing hand picked JVG when they had mutiney against Nelson. They did well with JVG and he proved himself.

But in a way he never was looked upon with respect. Not like the 4mil a year he got from the rockets, and now he got Ewing working for him.

JVG would have gotten fired if they did not make the finals. His 2 mil a year extension kicked in automatically. Dolan wanted a star.

JVG was a real man walking away from big money in that way!
