Why can't these so called great NBA coaches make bad teams into contenders?

That’s like asking why can’t the worlds best martial artist win a fist fight against a guy with an AK47. Some coaches just have better equipment, and no matter how good coaches with bad equipment use their equipment they are just outgunned.Take for example the Cavs coach Tyron who is by all standards average in the coaching department, but he made it to the finals reparatedly because he had the superior players. Now watch how he does this season.That’s really sad too, because you have possibly great coaches stuck with bad teams and it costs them their careers. Take Derek Fisher for example. He was the floor general that led Kobe Bryant to several championships. Kobe himself didn’t like being a player coach, and D Fish took up the helm. He then went to OKC and helped develop a lot of young players. Then he got hired by the Knicks with not a sufficient amount of talent, and worse was forced to coach the Phil Jackson style and not allowed to do his own thing. So his career was ended before it began.On the flip side you have Steve Kerr who was hired to coach the stacked Warriors that were developed to championship caliber by Marc Jackson. He literally groomed them to excellence and got fired because he had personality conflicts with some front office people or something. Steve Kerr gets a good team with good players and they win making him look great. Proof of this is when Steve couldn’t coach so Luke Walton took over and the performance of the team didn’t change at all. As they are right now a little league volunteer could coach the warriors to a ship but Steve will still be praised as a good coach.

Can you email a NBA team to sign you as a undrafted free agent?

You may of course cold contact NBA teams, although that may not even warrant a response in most cases. Their email addresses are not public (because imagine the amount of spam or hate mail they would receive if they were), so as Nelson Kane indicates the only way to be sure your message arrives is through regular mail.However the correct way to contact an NBA team for professional reasons (such as offering your services as a player) is to hire the services of an NBPA certified agent, who will have the right contacts and will know the best way to get you into an NBA team (such as addressing a team with known needs for a player like you), or, if that fails, a D-league team. Bear in mind, an agent’s goal is to make money (and it’s not free, in case you’re thinking about representing yourself), so unless you are an NBA caliber talent they may not spend a lot of effort shopping you around.Given that roster spots in the NBA are limited, the chances of being hired as an undrafted free agent are minimal, even if you were a known college player and declared for the draft. If you have gone through the US high school / college programs and have not called the atention of the NBA scouts, chances are you’re not going to be given the time of day. If you’re not from the US and never declared for the draft, it may happen that you haven’t been discovered by the NBA teams’ international scouts (too many countries and too few scouts, even in these days of Youtube and global reach), but in reality, unless you already are a professional player in an overseas league I find it very unlikely that an NBA team will pay you much attention.So, my advice would be to contact NBA agents and get an honest assessment of your NBA future from them (some may be willing to have a tryout with you), and if they think you stand a chance then hire them and let them do their job.

If a prime Michael Jordan was playing in today’s NBA, would he be the best player?

Oh, yeah.By far.I’m an old Bad Boys fan, and I watched our guys kick, trip, elbow, slap, and hip-check that guy almost into an early retirement.We were the ones that held him in check the first few years of his career, much like we held Lebron in check for a spell, too.Isiah and Joe D. figured out the only formula that gave anyone a chance against the guy.Unfortunately, these guys are not elephants who can be restrained as adults, by the same rope used when they were just babies.Eventually, Lebron figured out that if he put his big ol’ battering ram of a shoulder right into Tayshaun Prince’s skinny chest, Tayshaun would eventually not be so eager to challenge every shot.Similarly, Jordan realized that the only chance he had of getting past a bunch of shameless bruisers was to learn to take the hits. He showed up for the 91’ season looking ready for the NFL, and Detroit never beat him again.The Bad Boys would have destroyed Durant, Curry, and Klay, by the old rules. Total carnage. Women would have been weeping in their seats.It astonishes me that Jordan was able to do what he did with that kind of target on his back and the refs happy to let it happen.Lebron could have adjusted to that sort of game, I think. He would have done well, but I don’t think he could have done what Jordan did. I mean, he hasn’t, even in this softer era. So, why would he have back then?Larry Bird was another. You couldn’t stop him unless you injured him. Dude was unbelievable. So tough.But, no one took the punishment Jordan did.The Pistons just beat Dominique and the Hawks fair-and-square. No need for special rules.But, if they had chosen to, they could have knocked Nique down a whole level. He was tough. But, not Bad Boys tough.The Pistons had 10 guys all willing to hack anyone who got close to the rim. Not, to mention the fact that they were elite defenders on top of that. Most of their stops were earned. But, if u beat them, u ate hardwood.Jordan would still get 60.It was cuh-ray-zee!!!I’ve never seen a basketball player do what he could do, undergoing so much battery.Today’s rules would be for Jordan like the yellow sun for Superman. I suspect he would average 50, and just skip the fourth quarter of most games.It’d be like those videos of the Professor humiliating the ballers down at the local courts. Ha.

Why do NBA players have so much power and control than MLB/NFL players?

Lets take a casual NFL or MLB fan, and ask them to name 10 players that they’d consider “superstars” in today’s version of each league.The casual NFL fan would probably tell you Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers and JJ Watt right off the bat, but after those three, it probably starts to get more selective based on the area of the country they live. For example, if I live on the West Coast I might say “Russell Wilson” while someone who lives in the south might tell you “Cam Newton.”The casual MLB fan would probably tell you Mike Trout and Bryce Harper and Giancarlo Stanton right off the bat, but after those three it probably starts to get more selective based on the area of the country they live, same as NFL. For example, if I live in the Midwest, I might tell you “Kris Bryant,” while someone who lives in the Rockies might tell you “Nolan Arenado.”The casual NBA fan, however, would probably be able to name several stars right off the bat. LeBron James, obviously. Kevin Durant and Steph Curry, obviously. Russell Westbrook, obviously. James Harden, obviously. Anthony Davis, obviously. Giannis, obviously.It doesn’t really matter what part of the country you live in, because the NBA is a star-driven league and does such a good job of promoting their stars on a national and even global level than seemingly everyone, even non-NBA fans, could name at least 5 of the top players in the NBA. Non-baseball or non-football fans would struggle to name more than the Mike Trouts or Tom Bradys, and even then it might be hard for them to name even the best of the best. Its the level of promotion that the NBA gives its best players that allows them a greater voice when it comes to political and social issues, and it’s also that level of promotion that allows these players to go off and create their own brand and appear in advertisements that millions of people see every day. This level of promotion is what gives NBA players more “power” than MLB or NFL players. You still see plenty of NFL and MLB players getting promoted, but it’s on a much more localized level than that of the NBA, and it’s why NFL and MLB players are generally less recognizable and outspoken than NBA players.

Should the NBA start calling more travels?

Absolutely!  This would be the #1 thing Id like the refereeing in the NBA to be more strict on.  This is to me one of the biggest problems in the game right now.  As a basketball coach and referee, players often try to emulate NBA players and it is very difficult to correct them out of these bad habits when they are reinforced by their favourite players.  This isn't only about the number of steps that players will take nowadays and get away with but also the way that they dribble the ball nowadays involves a lot of palming.  I far too often see kids nowadays performing hesitation crossovers which involve them placing their hand underneath the ball completely for far too long to get a longer hesitation.  It is very unfortunate as correcting this is very difficult and leads to poor development.  It also leads to players being very upset when you call a travel because just last night their favourite player did that exact move and scored.  However, the NBA is first and foremost for entertainment which loves offence.  Lenient rules on travelling make for more exciting plays.  Much in the same way that stricter foul calls, no hand-checks, the charge circle and the three point line lead to more offence.  It actually would not surprise me if a 4-point line was made, simply for the excitement factor of Steph Curry making 2-5 of those per game.
