Before becoming a manager in Minnesota during the Kevin Garnett years between 1995 and 2008, then a freelance coach at Wolves but especially on the Rockets bench between 2011 and 2016, Kevin McHale (65, December 19) was a great player. A Hall of Famer even.
Sixth man his first seasons, the interior will be inducted into the Celtics’ five major in 1985 to form with Larry Bird and Robert Parish what remains as the best frontcourt in NBA history.
The Celtics then practice dream basketball and dominate the league with the Lakers while Kevin McHale makes his low post technique appreciated. He is a nightmare for his opponents, unable to move him physically because of his broad shoulders, nor to slow him down technically with his inexhaustible panoply of feints.
