Most Los Angeles Lakers fans would agree that Jeff Van Gundy is a pretty accomplished man in the basketball world.
The son of a college basketball coach, Jeff was a star point guard in high school in his native upstate New York, won All-American honors at Nazareth College, then became the longtime head coach of the New York Knicks and Houston Rockets, getting the Knicks to the NBA Finals as an eight seed in 1999. He always seems like a genuinely great guy, even though he routinely makes outlandish suggestions when commentating a game on ABC or ESPN.
