Agree. They're probably better teachers. Almost like coaches. You rarely see a HOF/top 50 player become a GOAT coach. It's always the middle of the pack guys or guys who had average careers. Those guys not doing it themselves gave them the drive to pour all their insights into their players, so I can easily see a father doing the same to their son.
Agreed
They know what it takes at all levels. Seen greatness up close
So even though they weren't the star player on most teams, probably never even got a chance to be the star player but they still had long successful careers, still played at the highest level and probably made their careers off other things instead of being the star player.
So they are probably the most suited to becoming a solid coach compared to the superstars of their era.
Only Superstars I see becoming really good NBA coaches would be like a Kobe, Wade, Lebron, etc.. guys who either played at an intellectual level, prepared meticulously, or just study the game. Lebron be making team adjustments on the fly now for example.
