36% of NBA players want to win titles

[ShoogarBear]

And apparently 31% just want good stats:

SI Players NBA Poll (http://www.fannation.com/blogs/post/124357)

Which head coach would you most like to play for?

Phil Jackson, Lakers ....... 21%
Mike D'Antoni, Suns ....... 21%
Gregg Popovich, Spurs ....... 15%
Don Nelson, Warriors ....... 10%
Jerry Sloan, Jazz ....... 4%
Rick Adelman, Rockets ....... 3%
Doc Rivers, Celtics ....... 3%
Pat Riley, Heat ....... 3%
Avery Johnson, Mavericks ....... 3%
Nate McMillan, Trail Blazers ....... 3%

Based on a survey of 242 NBA Players

FAST FACTS: Players could not vote for their own coach.... The Heat's Pat Riley and the Celtics' Doc Rivers, each of whom drew 3%, were the top vote-getters among Eastern Conference coaches.... Among players 30 and older Popovich was the winner, drawing 19% of that vote; Jackson got more than half of the rookie vote.... Each of the top five except Sloan has won a Coach of the Year award.

You forgot to note the 4% that want their asses chewed incessantly by the original redass while abiding by a road curfew and living in Utah.

And the 3% who are willing to be thrown under the bus by the Armani model.

Flip's not on the list?

Surprising.

Maybe they just like to ski.

Good point.

Maybe they just like to ski.

They can identify with Sloan's intense hatred for headbands.

[WalterBenitez]

only 36%? and the rest only play for money?

[ShoogarBear]

Oh, yeah, and >80% want to play in the Western Conference. :lol

Flip's not on the list?

Surprising.I think he lost votes to Larry Brown write-ins.

Phooo.

[ambchang]

Jackson got more than half of the rookie vote....
Why? Who has Jackson ever developed? He developed nobody when he was with the Bulls and the 3-peat Lakers (due to lack of quality rookies) Bynum was all Kareem's work, and the faith of Kupchak. Perhaps Luke Walton?
And Doc Rivers at 3%? More like them wanting to play with the Big 3.

Phooo.

That's why we got all those granphas around

no wonder 36% of nba tv minutes is actually watchable

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

So much for competitiveness. :rolleyes

But it's expected.

[lefty]

Nate McMillan got only 3 % ????

I'm surprised, because he is a coach who gives a chance to young players, unlike Larry Brown or Jerry Sloan.
