[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 944629, member: 2299"] CDS was a significantly better player than Pastner, and that's an extreme understatement. I also think in terms of connections CDS likely connects with some more than Pastner. Likewise the opposite is also true in some cases. Probably CDS has the advantage there more because of Pastner's .... unique personality than anything. Overall, I doubt CDS' playing days are much of a factor in terms of recognition. His time at Zona would be more relevant if this was a west coast school but how much do names like Ed O'Bannon and Shawn Respert carry in Georgia? I suspect not a whole lot. And his time as an NBA player, while successful, wasn't really one that I would expect to elicit a wow response unless it was someone who was a die hard Toronto or Portland fan from when he was there. Probably will be varying degrees of recognition without a lot of personal memories associated with it. Obviously that will vary greatly from person to person though. After a bit, I would suspect he'll be more recognized as GT's coach than from his playing days locally. It will however be a good recruiting tool for him because even if people don't immediately remember his time at Arizona or in the NBA they can look it up and that can have a nice impact as well. BTW NBA 2k1 wasn't released on the Xbox. It was a dreamcast only game. The series would move to the xbox and playstation the year after. [/QUOTE]
