Shaquille O’Neal feels Nets hiring Ime Udoka will bring championship experience for Nets superstars. “Winning cures it all…Watch how all this stuff disappears”
Shaquille O'Neal has asserted that the Brooklyn Nets will get much-needed championship-contention experience if they hire Ime Udoka as coach, and also added how winning could cure all of their bubbling issues.
The Brooklyn Nets are searching for a new head coach after firing Steve Nash recently. According to reports, Ime Udoka is the front-runner for the job. Basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal has claimed that hiring someone who has recently been to the finals and can transform a team would work wonders for the Brooklyn Nets.
According to Shaquille O'Neal, with so much drama surrounding the Brooklyn Nets, a winning streak will go a long way in making a lot of it disappear.
"Yeah but winning cures it all. Let him come in and get ten games in a row. Watch how all this stuff disappears. So his job is going to be to get the two and a half Superstars to play together to play hungry and to lead the other nine ten eleven guys and that's going to be difficult. "
O'Neal stated how having a head coach with championship-contention experience adds a different dimension to the team.
"Like I always said, if I'm playing for a guy that don't have that Championship experience, I'm not going to really listen to him all the way especially when my name is on the line. That's why when Phil came in I had to shut up. I know what you're talking about because every time I lost I seen you in. So, yes sir. But like all the other guys I played for, during the moment of Truth and you know they shaking in the huddle and they don't know what play we're gonna run. Ah, here we go again."
Ime Udoka had a massive impact on the Boston Celtics last season. Under his coaching, the Celtics went on to become the best defense in the league. With the Nets one of the worst teams in the league in defensive ratings, the franchise could use someone like Udoka to improve their defense.
Brooklyn Nets fire Steve Nash after a disastrous start to the season
Brooklyn General Manager Sean Marks fired head coach Steve Nash after a disastrous start to the season.
They have a 2-6 record right now and looks like a dysfunctional side full of big players. Their defensive rating is another area of concern for the new coach who will take over.
