Although I have to say Katz's commentary was not as interesting.
Not sure why everyone assumes KO is leaving in a few years to coach in the NBA. Yes he could get another 2 million a year which is a huge sum of money but if you fail 2 years in a row in the NBA you are out the door. The job security sucks.
I do not want to beat a dead horse here but this time of year we need to find things that we can biatch about.

One thing these writers never consider is that if Ollie wins another championship in, say, the next 7-10 years, he'll be well on his way to becoming the one of the greatest coaches of all-time. A 3rd win over 20 year period and he'll be a 60 year old at the top of his game. After that, he's immortalized.
When you think about the NBA, there is Pat Riley, Red Auerbach, Phil Jackson, 3 top coaches, and maybe people think of Popovich that way, but KC Jones, Tomjanovich and Chuck Daly aren't really recalled with the reverence of let's say a Dean Smith or even a John Thompson. The names of top NBA coaches are few and far between.
