My Take
Jeff Van Gundy is the sort of basketball lifer I can't help rooting for. At a modest height for the game, he built his name on intellect and intensity, leading the Knicks and Rockets before becoming a trusted assistant with the Clippers. I love that he competes through preparation and fire rather than physical gifts. His commentary years showed a mind that genuinely deepened how fans understand the sport. That Capricorn-like persistence, grinding his way back to the front lines again and again, is exactly the kind of devotion to the craft that I deeply respect.
