I like Phil Jackson.
Its funny, because I used to idolize him when I was a kid, and then he went to coach the Lakers, and I've always hated the fucking lakers, and still do. But he's still probably my favorite coach, and maybe the best coach ever. But thats debatable, I guess, depending on what city you're from.
Favorite owner...Maybe Steinbrenner? Dont get me wrong, I despise the yankees. I hate everything they stand for, but if Steinbrenner was spending that money on my team I'd think he was the greatest guy ever. You certainly cant complain that he doesnt put a good product on the field for what the fans spend.

Bill Polian. He put together 4 straight Super Bowl teams with the Bills, then went on to build a solid team around Peyton Manning. I was happy to see him finally get to win a Super Bowl.

I really like Mark Cuban the owner of the Dallas Mavricks and owner of Dairy Queen.. hes an outgoing guy who loves the game.. and hes also great at making upper management decisions.. i mean seriously.. i dont think there are many organizations that would have gambled on making avery johnson a head coach right away..

i think thats how he had enough money to buy the mavericks.. not 100% positive but im pretty sure he owned dairy queen first.. he's pretty young in terms of being the owner of a major sports franchise.

hmm i did some quick researching and had no idea about his computer background.. and i guess he was only the manager of a single dairy queen and it was on a publicity move after critizing referees telling them "i wouldnt hire you to run my dairy queen."
idk where i got the idea that he owned the dairy queen company

Joe Dumars is one of the smartest general managers in sports, he has done nothing but succeed since he became the Pistons GM. He has put together the core that has already won one championship and is looking to win another this season. Not only that but hes set up a good foundation for future success with the likes of good young talent like Amir Johnson and Jason Maxiell. Joe also holds on too two draft picks in this upcoming draft. Experts have said that this is going to be a talent louded draft like the 03 draft. Joe Dumars, winning credentials does enough to enter him in as one of the best GMs in sports.

i would disagree with you
not to be rude but have you ever watched a raps game?
you can't really guard him...you take away his shot, he drives..
you let him shoot, he is money from midrange and can shoot the three if needed (already had a game winning three earlier this season)
