My Take
Doug Collins has lived basketball from every angle, and that's what fascinates me about him. He was a four-time NBA All-Star as a player with the Philadelphia 76ers, then reinvented himself as a coach with the Bulls, Pistons, Wizards and 76ers, and later as a sharp television analyst and executive. That full-circle relationship with the game, ending up back in Philadelphia, tells you how deeply it runs in him. I respect people who can switch from competing to teaching to explaining, because each demands a different kind of intelligence. Standing 198 cm out of Illinois State, he's been a thoughtful, durable presence in the league for decades.
