Alvin Gentry was hired as the New Orleans Pelicans head coach on May 30th. However, he could not assume the duties of his post immediately. His current employer, the Golden State Warriors, needed his services as their season continued into the NBA Finals. Tonight Coach Gentry can hold his head high as an NBA champion. The Warriors completed their dominant season with a 105-97 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers in game six.
Before he comes to New Orleans there will be festivities for Gentry to participate in.
