    "Philadelphia 76ers President Billy King announced today that 13-year NBA veteran <u>Aaron McKie</u> is rejoining the franchise as an assistant coach on Maurice Cheeks' staff. McKie will also have additional duties in player development.

    One of the most popular Sixers in recent history, McKie begins his coaching career after playing the last two seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers . In 793 career games with 287 starts, he averaged 7.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.15 steals.

    As a member of the Sixers in 2000-01, McKie enjoyed his best season, taking home Sixth Man of the Year honors while helping Philadelphia reach the NBA Finals. That season, he recorded back-to-back triple-doubles at Sacramento on Dec. 30, 2000 (19 points, 14 assists, 10 rebounds) and vs. Atlanta on Jan. 3, 2001 (11 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists)"</p>

    I always liked him, from his Blazers days. I'm sure he'll be a fine coach.
