For J.B. Bickerstaff and Jamahl Mosley, being 'family' doesn't matter during NBA playoffs

It all began at Grg’s in the early 2000s.Tim Grgurich, the longtime assistant coach renowned inside NBA circles but almost anonymous outside them, and who is generally credited with creating the NBA’s modern, year-round player development culture, was holding his annual summer development camp in Las Vegas. At the Grg Camp, NBA players from every team came to get better. With Grg, there was no agenda. But Grg’s camps didn’t just help players reach the next level; they also served as a pipeline for up-and-coming coaches, all looking to find their footing and their place among their peers.That’s where J.B. Bickerstaff and Jamahl Mosley really became friends.“When we hit Vegas, we would go to dinners,” Mosley recalled last week.Advertisement
