Jonas Jerebko on Celtics coach Brad Stevens, via Tom Westerholm of MassLive:
He’s been the best coach I’ve had in the NBA
Sorry, John Kuester, Lawrence Frank, Maurice Cheeks, John Loyer and Stan Van Gundy.
OK, sorry Van Gundy only. The rest of those guys didn’t have a chance.
We compared Van Gundy and Stevens here recently, and Jerebko – traded from the Pistons to the Celtics mid-season – adds interesting perspective. But it’s worth noting Stevens played Jerebko more than Van Gundy did, and that could sway the forward.
