    Probably his wife or gf, if he is kid, then probably his little brother.

    Really? They seem very similar to me, both physically and personality-wise. JVG is much less talkative after games, though.

    jeff is in shape; stan is, frankly, fat - especially for a coach.

    jeff talks in an articulated manner; stan sounds more random.

    their voices are very different.

    jeff is bald (the pic i post below is probably 10 years ago when he's in nyc); stan has a lot of hair.

    if i haven't watched the nba this closely, i probably wouldn't know or believe they are brothers. maybe it's just me.

    sometimes even the twins are not exactly the same. not every couple of brothers look so alike as Jon and Brent do. :cool:

    Granted, they are different shapes and Stan has more hair. But I can tell they're brothers from the facial features. And they have very similar accents. Both are defensive-minded coaches who are pretty talkative, crack jokes with the media, and get very intense during games. :)

    With a good modern haircut.


    Also, it is said that he doesn't like being compared to Ron Jeremy.

    I am a poor man's version of Kobe.

    Seriously, I hope Tmac is taking notes... this is how you work the media. Make the BS sweet enough and they will eat it :D

    It's more than common for people from the same town to have similar accents, and their personalities are surely also pretty similar as they grew in the same family. Their delusion for defense may come from their family education or their family's tradition.

    although I believe they're brothers from the same couple, it's still pretty hard for me to collect enough evidence to convince those doubters that Stan and JVG are actually brothers. maybe I can turn to their parents form some help, have you got the telephone number of their house?

    Yao sounds exactly the way Shaq did when Yao was entering the fray. That's probably where he's learned it from; heaping praise upon the young talent while simultaneously doing everything he can behind the scenes to prepare to beat him.

    Sounds like Yao and Shaq (who doesn't flop) are the best buddies now.

    Yup, Shaq was a racist ass against Yao until he realized he wasn't getting the response he was hoping for...

    Now he praises Yao cuz Shaq's shoes are making tons of money in China. Wouldn't want to piss off that entire market of $$$.
