I'ma need a deep dive on the OG AD, Adrian Dantley, the Teacher! Watching his videos - he cooked Kevin McHale like a public school lunchroom hot dog. Just found out about how he REALLY felt about Isaiah Thomas, and Dantley vs Chuck Daly.
Along that thread, why did so many Black NBA players seem to have issues in Utah: Dantley, Bernard King, John Drew, Terry Furlow, Deron Williams, Spencer Haywood...is it my memory or did they all have their worst career years or personal problems in SLC? Was Utah getting troubled players on the cheap, or were they not thriving in the Jazz environment?
Worth noting that while Hakeem defended Ewing straight up man, the Knicks were forced to rotate Ewing, Mason and Oakley in trying to stop Hakeem.
Dr. C!
