My Take
Kenny Atkinson is the kind of coach I quietly admire. A 185 cm guard who was never a star player himself, he turned that into a gift for development, the sort of mentor who understands what a struggling young player actually feels. He rebuilt young rosters in Brooklyn and now leads the Cleveland Cavaliers. He keeps his social media private and seems content to do his thinking on the sideline rather than in the spotlight, which is exactly my taste in a basketball mind.
