My Take
Willie Green is the kind of basketball lifer I instinctively root for. A 193 cm guard out of Detroit, he bounced through the 76ers, Hornets, Hawks, Clippers and Magic, surviving on role-player resilience rather than star billing. That journey tells me everything about his adaptability and feel for the game. So when he climbed to head coach of the New Orleans Pelicans, it read as the natural payoff for someone who learned the league from the inside out. Players who grind through tough cities and longer odds often make the most perceptive coaches, and I quietly applaud how he reinvented himself on the bench.
