    It's funny how all the great championship NBA coaches have all time great players.

    Then you have the tier of guys who stayed employed a long time, won around 50 games a year, made the playoffs but never won it all. George Karl, Don Nelson types. Is Karl a better coach than Spoelstra? I would think he is.

    Spoelstra is the one that got Lebron to play in the post. That single coaching move is better than everything George Karl ever did.

    It's not like it took a genius to have Lebron play in the post. It was just a matter of time. Even Romar would have eventually done it if he had coached Lebron.

    For a NBA coach, the two most important things that they do (probably in this order) is manage the egos on the team and organize the team in a way to take advantage of their strengths.

    What Kerr did in this series was evaluate what was going on and then reorganize his team in the best manner to take advantage of the situation.

    Regardless of the sport, players make plays and without it whatever the coaches do doesn't mean shit.

    Now you've gone WAY too far.

    Ok you got me there. But most coaches with a brain would have eventually put Lebron in the post.

    Anyone with half a brain could see Lebron needed to be in the post. It was getting the best player in the world to do something that he didn't want to do that was the accomplishment. Romar can't control college kids, he wasn't going to get Lebron to do it. Get fucking real.

    LeBron's post game is what will carry him in two to three years when he is no longer the best athlete on the court. Even as his athleticism slips, he will still dominate because of developing his post game.

    Maybe not Romar. But like I said above, any coach with half a brain would have eventually moved Lebron to the post.
