The 2021 NBA Hall of Fame Awards, led by former NBA stars Chris Bosh, Paul Pierce, Ben Wallace and Chris Weber, will take place this week. Boston Celtics legend Bill Russell was also honored for his coaching career and was inducted into the Hall of Fame awards ceremony, making him the fifth legendary player to receive Hall of Fame honors as both player and coach.
You know, there is an "unwritten" rule in the NBA: stars who show great dominance during the player period often do not have a particularly good performance during the coaching period (such as Kidd, Nash, etc.), but throughout the history of the NBA, there are still five gods, not only with the good performance of the player period into the NBA Hall of Fame, but also as a coach for the second time to win this supreme honor, let's take stock together:

This allows.
As a coach, John Wood was much more successful. He has led the team to 10 NCAA championships.
