The versatility of Clippers forwards Kawhi Leonard and Paul George draws comparisons to another great duo: Chicago’s Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.
“We know what we’re capable of, we know we’ve got that talent,” center Ivica Zubac said. “So we’re not running away from it.”More telling was the grin that accompanied the denial. The move carried all the hallmarks of a coach who has seen symbolism used throughout his four decades in the NBA, sometimes to great effect.Rivers never forgot how the coach of his mid-1990s New York Knicks, Pat Riley, weaved “powerful” out-of-the-box motivational tactics into the team’s daily preparations.
When the 2008 championship banner was added to Boston’s practice facility, so too was a blank banner next to it, signifying the expectation of another title to come. “That’s what drives a championship team, and, you know, you just figure out the bumps in the road on the way there,” he said.Toronto was eliminated three consecutive seasons by LeBron James’ Cleveland Cavaliers before trading for Leonard in July 2018, the same month James became a Laker.
