DOUG COLLINS was Kwame's life-ruiner. The Sixth Man: Aaron McKie In 1997, McKie was traded from Detroit (a long-time Caliper client) to Philly, where he would win one 6th Man award (only McHale and Schrempf won two, and neither of those fit the bill). And who was the Detroit coach that wanted to kick McKie to the curb? DOUG COLLINS. Freaky. A couple of educated guesses:

Love the behind-the-scenes stuff that goes on in the NBA. So, I'm trying to figure this out... The "kid" "a few years ago" who won Sixth Man two years in a row -- had to be Detlef Schrempf, right (16 years ago!), under Mavs Coach Dick Motta? See http://www.nba.com/history/awards_sixthman.html But the lottery pick Greenberg mentions, who the heck is that? Only clue besides "still in the league, I believe" is that he played on national TV opening night. So he had to be on a good team worthy of TV exposure at the time (e.g., not any lottery pick by the Warriors, which eliminates a whole bunch!). Hey Jeff, awesome post.
