The Hoops Whisperer

[King Baller]

So I heard Coach Malone might bring in his Dad as an assistant. Here is a link with a nice story about the man--->

I would support that obviously. His dad has been around a long time, and was a defensive guru as far back as his work with the Bad Boys Pistons. Ever hear of the Jordan Rules?

Old school defensive guru and new school defensive guru.

I don't know why but the thread title reminded me of Rupe the Hoop.

I don't think anything bad can come of it, he's a knowledgeable guy for sure.

Oh god NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! That guy was the most annoying thing ever to happen to Kings Basketball.

Thank goodness there are no pictures of him left on google search, and there are only a couple pages that mention him by that name.. *phew* he's almost erased from history.

The writer of that article chose to lead with these sentences:

"One of the first things Orlando Magic center Marcin Gortat purchased after hitting his version of the NBA lottery — a five-year, $34 million contract — was a very nice wristwatch.

Not for himself, mind you.

He bought it for the man he calls "Dad" — Magic assistant coach Brendan Malone.

It was Gortat's way of thanking Malone for all the time he put in the past two seasons helping him become a coveted player."

If the senior Malone is thought of that highly by Marcin Gortat I see only good things for this Malone Duo. This along with Chris Pauls and Carl Landrys endorement says the Kings new coaches are players coaches.

I don't know why but the thread title reminded me of Rupe the Hoop.

I had managed to completely wipe all memory of Rupe the Hoop, and now you have to come in here and destroy all that hard work.

We always figured Rupe was just a drinking buddy of the Maloofs and when they were coked up/drunk they came up with the idea of Rupe the Hoop
