count - Using if statement with ArcPy and GetCount?

I am looking to get a count on the polygonNieghbor and if it has polygons in it then I want to move to the next step MakeFeatureLayer. and If it doesn't have any features I would like it to finish.

Is there any other way to do this?

arcpy.GetCount_management(PolygonNeighbor_TableSelect)
arcpy.AddMessage(arcpy.GetMessages())

if arcpy.GetCount_management(PolygonNeighbor_TableSelect) > 0:
    arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(MapUnitPolys, inFeatures_lyr)

 else
     print "done"
