Most of y’all probably too young. But shout out to Stephon Marbury.

Last 35 years, I would say.
David Stern
Pat Riley
Phil Jackson
R.C. Buford
This is just off the top of my head.

Individuals that could've been NBA players previously, but impacted from a non-player perspective*

James Naismith, Red Auerbach, David Stern, Rich Paul are some that come to mind but I feel like I'm missing more obvious ones.

Come on man, I know that.
But I am referring to their off-court influence.
But they still have an NBA pedigree. Hinkie can’t make a layup. Morey ain’t never made a 3.

Guys that have played and won championships (Phil, Jerry, pat) EYE expect them to understand the inner workings needed to develop a team. EYE will omit them

I feel like through Lebby he was a major player in ushering in the player empowerment era (creating super teams and securing bags at all costs).

The people like Charles Barkley who were saying that were not paying attention. The 2014 Spurs torched the Heat by making 11 threes a game in the Finals, same number as the '15 Warriors. The Warriors did eventually take it to another level in the following seasons but the idea that jump shooting teams couldn't win championships was already a myth during the '14-'15 regular season when Chuck was saying that stuff. Barkley was just stuck in 1994 and was slow to react to the way the league had been evolving.

So your list was 4 white men and you're asking him to make a case for the black guy?

He's more of a modern example on the business end. I just feel like he's becoming the Scott Boras of basketball, and we already know the type of influence Boras had/has on the MLB.

Everything was worth 1 when we hooped half court. I remember a while back someone said they called charges in their pickup games that didn't have refs.

Yep, for sure up North he needs full credits.
I am with you 100% man. 1's and 2's just make no sense in 2020 now that people SHOULD know better.

I remember Devoe Joseph (Cory's older bro) was the **** back in highschool. His name was ringing more than Cory.

Why is he being mentioned?
He isn't even the most influential PG from his own CITY.

Its either this, or 2s & 3s which no one did anyways.Everything was worth 1 when we hooped half court. I remember a while back someone said they called charges in their pickup games that didn't have refs.
1s & 2s makes no sense as I have said before.
