He's only a small part of the Spurs success. Let's get Fabricio Oberto as well, he also has a ring. Or better yet, Antoine Walker! He has a ring too. Having a ring doesn't mean sht if you're a scrub riding on a Superstar's team to get there. If you're talking about the World Champion Spurs, do you talk about Malik Rose? No.
This guy's not a good veteran for our team. I'm not saying Isiah's a good coach for our team, he's far from it. He's far from a good GM either. But to call Malik a good veteran is just stupid. The guy doesn't know his role and he tries to do too much.
Look at the old veterans that we've had in the past. And look at Malik Rose. NO COMPARISON.
Get this guy out of here.
The thing is that Malik was in that locker room and played a role on that team. While he was an interchangeable part and not vital to the Spurs sucess, he has seen first hand what the Spurs attitude was like and how they went about there buisness. He has seen and experienced what it took to win a title.
So he is actually a great source because he is comparing the Spurs lockeroom to the Knicks based on 1st hand experience. He knows the way the Spurs went about there buisness and the way the Knicks go about there buisness is very different. You would think he would be a great source because our players should be asking him "how did Duncan practice and go about things?" or "how did pop do this or that"?. The Spurs are one of the best coached teams in the league so you would think Malik would have some very valuable experience.
