For Phil was Handy, it was logical to join Maveric
This summer, Mavericks staff training experienced real “lakersization”. Jason Kidd is a coach Dallas and we remember being a helper on Lakers 2020. Year, at the time of the title that won the band in Lebron James.
Then he was an assistant Frank Vogel, who lately arrived in Texas, in the role of Kidd’s first assistant. The roles are therefore reversed. We must not forget Mike Penbeth, a shooting specialist, also in Los Angeles in 2020. years, nor Practical.
The latter made a decision to join Dallas after he left California Franchise in 2024. years. In addition to assistants, he rubbed his shoulders with leisurers, will also find other heads known in the locker room.
“I have a long story with Kirie Irving, in Cleveland”, recall 53-year assistant, who in 2016 won the title of the rider. “I have a connection with Anthony Davis, from the time of Lakers. So that made sense.” »
The one who won three titles in just a few seasons (2016 and 2020, but also in 2019. With Toronto) wants to take control of the team for several years. But for now the assistant remains and progresses in its corner.
“I improved in the sense of the system. I better understood collective concepts. I could grow like a coach”, Insists. “When I arrived in the NBA, my role was only in the development of players. But over the years I took care of the year, the other. So I had the opportunity to really grow and do different things.” »
