Your sources are correct.
The guy that says coaching doesn't matter at the NBA level, they're just suits.
Vs the dozens of other folks that blame the coach on a daily basis about moves they know absolutely nothing about. Why he does or doesn't start a guy, why he does or doesn't play a guy, why this matchup was or wasn't attacked, who is and isn't healthy enough to go, and on and on and on. Why the same coach goes from Top 2 defense back to back years, to bottom 3rd in the league the next........hmmmmmmmmmm
Yes. I "care" about coaching.

Yes it does. He went to 8 straight Finals.

Magic went to 9 finals in 12 years and WON FIVE OF THEMYes it does. He went to 8 straight Finals.

I think that’s more of an accomplishment than going to 8 straight and winning 3
Kobe went to 7 in 11 years and won 5. Also and incredible run
All amazing and special in their own right

Huh? You're comparing LeBron going to the finals 8 years by himself to the accomplishments of two players?
Between LeBron and Kobe they went to the Finals every year weeks 2007 and 2018

I don't understand why people really try to down play certain players accomplishments just because they don't like them.

Can't take Magic serious...but when he talks it gets plastered everywhere.
Magic also won the College Basketball Title as a Sophomore in 1979
And the Michigan High School State Title in 1977.
Dude won 3 Titles at 3 levels in 4 years. That may not ever be replicated again.

Kareem did something similar (high school championship his senior year, three consecutive NCAA championships in college and an NBA championship in his second year in the league)
Certainly very impressive (his college career especially) but this is still 3 levels over 6 seasons.
To best what Magic did, you'd have to win a HS State Title, NCAA Title as a Freshman and then NBA Title as a Rookie. I don't know if that's happening.
Magic a God damn unicorn.
