Fifteen years ago today, Cavaliers head coach Lenny Wilkens moved past former Cavs coach Bill Fitch into fourth place on the NBA's all-time wins list. A 120-98 victory that day over Milwaukee gave Wilkens 846 career wins.
Wilkens, who last coached for the Knicks in 2004-05, now has a career record of 1,332-1,155 in 32 seasons with the SuperSonics, Blazers, Cavs, Hawks, Raptors and Knicks. But in all that time, and with all those victories, he won just one NBA title, in 1978 with Seattle. His teams thrice won 57 games in a season, in 1988-89 and 1991-92 with the Price-Daugherty-Nance Cavs, and in 1993-94 with the Dominique Wilkins-Kevin Willis-Stacey Augmon Hawks. Those teams all had one player in common -- Craig Ehlo, most famous for falling to the ground as Michael Jordan hit The Shot.
Sorry, Cleveland fans. But it did happen.
