The thing that really comes through in these clips - which ALSO comes through in person... is that Zeke is one of the most charismatic, personable dudes in the HISTORY of the league.
I worked with him briefly, and got to spend some time with him, and LOVED being around him, nonstop stories, honest opinions about basketball, LOVES talking about skillsets, young players, old players, everything. I sat at a dinner with him and larry brown (before the fallout obviously) and they were SO blunt about who sucked, who's overrated, who's underrated... zeke talked about how he thought Larry ruined Darko, larry talked about how darko sucked, and not drafting melo/bosh/wade(who he wanted) cost that team two rings at least.... it was a fun dinner, man. we were out late. Larry was coming to the knicks, everything was in bloom... damn ...
Anyway.
Obviously I hated him running the knicks... but the dude has a CULT of personality. I actually always thought he'd end up being a really good college coach, because of it.
