Brian Scalabrine. Nuff said.

Kevin Ollie has respect around the league. Class act, respectable and true professional in how he carries himself. That goes a long way for teams who dont mind adding a guy to the end of thier bench. He gives you 110% everyday in practice, is knowledgable about the game and knows he wont see much if any time. Pretty sure he's talked to teams and left an impression. Wouldnt be shocked to hear teams give him kudos if another team interested in signing him called. That probably has happened where now? Ollie just has a good rep.

He's also an intelligent individual. I'll see if i can find the article where they shed light on his off the court stuff. Heck if you're a GM and you want to fill your roster out. Why not give this guy the vet minimum instead of some lame?

Future head coach in the making, it sounds like it.

I barely remember him for the Cavs, but with you being a Sixers fan, where he was perhaps at his best, he was a key presence for them. Every team needs those veteran glue guys, the guys who give 110 percent and show the young guys the correct way, through example.

Still, it seems like other "veteran presence" guys haven't lasted as long as Ollie, so I was somewhat surprised to see him still around, but you pretty much hit the nail on the head.

just realized Anthony Johnson has been around since 97...

appreciation thread for him will follow shortly

[leopoldstotch]

Bump.

I apologize for my earlier comment about Ollie. GOAT coach.

The next Thunder head coach.

[Solefade]

1/1 in NCAA tournaments = 1.00 GOAT

[ZoPunde]

4 years later.

[smoovegittar]

Well done! Huskies played GREAT the last 3 games.

[imdaman99]

Much respect. People who try to discredit him will say he won it with Calhoun's players.

But he did a great coaching job, made a gutsy coaching decision going small against Florida

Hope he continues to win, class guy that coaches with swag.

If you follow OKC close enough you'll know he's one of the players that really started their culture and made them the team they are today. Truly one of the great lockerroom guys around, and definitely a great leader/coach.

Yup, Durant has praised Ollie for changing the culture in OKC and teaching everyone how to be a true pro.
