Mike Brown (2011-12) "Coaches and players are not always aligned. But at the end of the day, you knew that he was trying to win every single time that he stepped on the floor." Mike D'Antoni (2012-14) "He could will himself to do certain things in the game that were not normal. A warrior-type mentality, and I think he demonstrated that for 20 years." Byron Scott (2014-16) "I saw greatness in him, but I didn't see this, as one of the greatest ever. He was probably cheated out of a couple of MVPs." Kurt Rambis (1999) "Probably the thing that will stick out most in my mind is when he ruptured his Achilles' tendon [in 2013] and walked up to the free-throw line and was still able to walk off the court." Phil Jackson (1999-2004; 2005-2011) "He's the highest-scoring guard that ever played the game. The greatest-scoring guard. That's his legacy."
