I don’t think Griffin had nearly as big a role or voice..
head assistant on raptors when they won chip and coty and was with thibs when he won coty with bulls.
Ok, but again it’s a false equivalency. Bryant has a well known rep for player development, is a pretty big voice on the sidelines, and has only been in the associate head coach role a few years.
1st year with Thibs in 2021 COTY, to 1st year with Atkinson in 2025 COTY is different than Griffin who’s been assistant coaching in the league for damn near 20 years.
