He was gifted prime Kawhi and injury luck against the warriors and somehow that turned into he's a brilliant coach that won a championship all by himself.
No coach can win a chip by himself but Nurse deserves credit for that. Guys like Rivers have one too, and I think the key to that is that relationship management is key, especially when you’re dealing with the top stars (unless you’re Pop or Spo, in which case guys just shut up and listen).
You can’t be a complete rollover but you also can’t go too far in being strict, and you still have to be buddy buddy with them. Hell, Jason Kidd still keeps getting jobs based on that, I feel. He might not be the best coach, but how many coaches in this league are able to deal with Kyrie?
Anyway, that’s all to say, Nurse deserves credit. Managing Kawhi is not an easy task.
