Listen to Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse join The Herd to talk his incredible rise from twenty-something year old nobody head coach in an independent British basketball league all the way to the biggest stage in the sport in the NBA Finals.
The 51-year-old has one of the most unprecedented coaching resumes that you’ll ever see, making stops at cartoonish sounding teams the likes of the Derby Storm, Birmingham Bullets, Telindus Oostende, Manchester Giants, London Towers, Oklahoma Storm, Iowa Energy, and Rio Grande Valley Vipers, but the divine coaching rise makes Nurse one of the best coaching stories of the 21st century.
Nurse talks Kevin Durant’s injury, Kawhi Leonard breaking the glass ceiling of the NBA analytics, the team’s game plan without a true no. 2 scorer, and his relationship with Raptors superfan Drake.
