Do you see that?

I mean, who the hell knows?

But was he going to be a great coach?

Yeah.

No, that's exactly right.

And I think.

You know, one of the things and we were, you know, we were both here together for a long time.

And the one thing that has really stuck with me about,

player coach relationships pat riley said when we were here and he would say it a lot is the player coach relationship is a business relationship that is designed to get a result that's what it's about and you know my brother talks all the time about if you want to know

What a guy's how good a guy's relationship is with his players.

Watch him on the court because that's what matters.

It's not whether the guy likes you, doesn't like you.

Does he go out there and perform?

If he does, the player-coach relationship's outstanding.

If he doesn't, he may be saying, God, this guy's my favorite coach ever, and he's playing like crap.

Then the player-coach relationship isn't working.

The personal relationship may be, but not the player-coach relationship.

And I think a lot of people in the media get that wrong.

Like, they just want to go ask, do you like a guy?

Do you not like a guy?
