My Take
Scott Skiles still holds the NBA record for assists in a single game with thirty, and that one fact tells me almost everything I need to know about him. A point guard who measures himself by how he elevates teammates is my kind of player. Out of Michigan State and named Most Improved Player in 1991, he built a career on grit rather than flash, then carried that hard-nosed mentality into coaching. I respect figures who win on substance instead of spectacle, and Skiles feels like the archetype. His legacy is quietly impressive.
