NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
One shining night Kevin McHale put up 56 points on my beloved Detroit Pistons. Well, it was one shining moment for Kevin and the Celtics. The man was unstoppable. He had a step under move that was brilliant and a turn and fade that could not be blocked and with Big Chief Parrish and Bird surrounding him up front, you could not double him.
The Pistons know this to be true, because on that night they tripled him. Did not matter. 56 big ones.
Kevin McHale was one of the greatest power forwards to play in the NBA
Kevin went from success on the hard court as a player to not much success as a General Manager of the T-Wolves. He just never could get the players he wanted and could never get a major superstar to move to Minnesota. Finally the T-Wolves have had enough.
McHale said the two in their meetings discussed the team’s roster, which McHale had re-assembled after he traded superstar Kevin Garnett away two summers ago, and began making calls to former NBA head coaches to find McHale a No. 1 assistant coach, but never received a job offer.
“We were talking about me coming back and at some point you’d think a contract (offer) would be made,” McHale said. “It was very noncommittal on everything.”
