None of the greats can say they maxed out with high tier, mid tier & low tier talent like he has. Riley, Jackson, Red, Daly, Kerr, Pop, Brown etc all spent the better parts of their coaching career with a top 5 talent at the helm if the not the top dog

Show me an organization that has been so brazen with the “less is more” bullshyt as The Heat

Every year Spo puts a competent product on the floor dating back to when The Heatles disbanded

Dr Jack & Lenny (pre Hawks & Cavs) is a blind spot for me so maybe the same could be said for them but who knows

Nahh. I think Larry Brown holds that crown when it comes to raising the ceiling of low and mid tier talent. Larry's coaching with the 2001 Sixers and the 2004/2005 Pistons, the 1993 Clippers, and the Pacers of the late 90s was an absolute work of art
