Happy Birthday Jeff Van Gundy!! You were a great coach, and I believe this deserves a thread!! atleast I hope so.... :grin:
The great JVG indeed! I miss him roaming the sidelines. Best of days to the man who took a 100k fine for Yao and Houston!
If true then HBD. I still think Van Gundy is better for Yao than RA. <a href="http://media.photobucket.com/image/yao ming/Corwo/Awsome Players/yao_ming.jpg?o=76" target="_blank"><img src="http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh314/Corwo/Awsome%20Players/yao_ming.jpg" border="0"></a>
Happy birthday, Jeff! I once met him at the airport in L.A., he was still with the Rockets then. He was buying socks in one of the duty-free shops :grin: ...I greeted him and talked to him for a few seconds...he seemed like a really likeable, down-to-earth person.
There's a picture with his autograph in park place and 45 a mexican restaurant called Del Sol. I knew he was latino
Happy Birthday JVG! He was a good coach for Yao, and for now he's a better commentator for the basketball. :grin:
I've liked JVG for quite some time now. I was not always in love with his coaching style or his demeanor when being interviewed when he was coaching, but those are minor things. He accomplished a lot as a coach...much more than the "armchair coaches" who might put him down. But, I've really grown to appreciate his sense of humor, too, and his self-deprecation in terms of allowing himself to be made fun of (e.g., in those various ESPN commercials). Happy Birthday, JVG.
JVG will never want 2 come back as an assistant coach. Heck he rather stay where he is as a commentator! Hes doing a gr8 job IMO!
He ran the Houston Marathon on Sunday. Ran about a 4:14 if I recall correctly. Decent for first timer. Congrats to JVG!
