Well-Traveld McKinnie Finds a Home with the Wine & Gold
During one of this week’s Playoff games from Orlando, former NBA head coach and current broadcaster Stan Van Gundy quoted another former NBA head coach and current broadcaster – the legendary Hubie Brown.
The saying went that for some guys in the NBA, “by the time they learn to say ‘hello,’ it’s time to say ‘goodbye.’”
What he meant was that certain players come into the league looking to be the team’s focal point on the offensive end. It’s an understandable misunderstanding. It’s a role they’d likely played – and were expected to play – for their entire lives before reaching the pro level.
