How about this NBA broadcast team? Jeff and Stan Van Gundy working together as analysts.
You’ve got to think it will be discussed if Stan doesn’t land another coaching job. All you have to do is watch the HBO Real Sports profile of the brothers to see what great chemistry they have. Stan has shown he’s just as outspoken as Jeff.
I mentioned the possibility to Jeff Van Gundy during an ESPN conference call Tuesday morning.
“It would be fun,” Van Gundy said. “I don’t get to see that much of him. He’s always busy with his job and we live in two different cities. He’d probably verbally assault me like he has his whole life.”
Van Gundy thinks Stan would be a terrific broadcaster if he decided to go that route. However, he cautioned that his brother should take things slow before deciding his next move.
“Stan is extremely smart, intelligent and insightful,” Van Gundy said. “He does everything with a high amount of candor. With the record he’s amassed, he’ll have multiple opportunities. Unlike a lot of us, he’s smart enough where he can do something outside of basketball. He’s one of those guys who can do a lot of things and do them well.”
I’ll have more from Van Gundy later today.
