I agree with this, and I think it's a perfect example of why people shouldn't judge a book by it's cover.
Being media savvy, knowing how too look good. Making an impression. Saying all the right things. All that crap.
None of that (necessarily) equals knowing how to build a good basketball team.
It's always irritated and worried me how completely head over heels people were for this guy.
Like you said, a great front man...but that's about it.
