He HAD TO TAKE that kind of hardline coaching because he wasn't in a league that allowed stars to dictate their wishes (think NBA in the 90s). Now Luka is a premier player in the NBA and the NBA allows stars to dictate where they want to play. Maybe Luka responds to that hardline coaching but probably he doesn't (Carlisle is gone and Luka wasn't a fan of RC).
That's actually fair.
I think at the end of the day Luka wants to win and he'd put up with a hardline approach to get there.
But he is probably the biggest advocate of Kidds system.
Hopefully we can conjure up the next Phil Jackson.
