My Take
Doug Christie is, in my book, a defensive bulldog. At 6'6", his relentless, suffocating perimeter defense made him a nightmare for opposing guards. From Seattle to Pepperdine to the NBA, he became a quiet pillar of those great Sacramento Kings teams. There's a beautiful symmetry in the fact that he now coaches that very franchise as head coach. The grit he learned through his body as a player, he now passes on to the next generation. He was never the flashy scorer, but he understood winning basketball as well as anyone. I have enormous respect for players who can speak through defense.
