Wake Up Call for Mr. Iverson

[Southpaw]

I wonder if Iverson has any second thoughts about running Larry Brown out of Philadelphia now that Larry won a NBA Championship with a bunch of cast off players who played the right way.

Oh that's right, It's just practice

I usually don't make broad judgements about people, but Iverson is a loser.

 

[cardsunsfan]

yup, I was thinking the same thing... I wish a reporter asks how he feels about Brown winning a championship....

Am I hearing you compare the 6ers with the pist? Thats just stupid. Iverson doesnt have 1 other person to throw the ball too. Nooooobooody land.

Instead of giving props to Larry brown, who deserves some of the credit, how about some love the guy who put the team together (Joe Dumars), who right now is the best GM in the Association.

PS - All of you Milicic haters will be eating crow by 2007.

no doubt. Larry Brown did a fantastic job coaching the team that Joe Dumars put together.

BTW I also don't think it's fair to compare Iverson's 76ers to the Pistons. I'm not in Allen Iverson fan, but the Pistons are more talented all the way around.

LB gets some of the credit and so does Dumars - and everyone knows that. The guy that gets forgotten is Rick Carlisle who taught the players how to play D as a team. If Joe had stayed with Rick I think it very likely Detroit would still have won the title.

Were I the GM of a team like the Suns I'd far rather have Carlisle than Brown take over the team. Larry's teams seem to improve for about two years then tail off markedly. This may well have to do with him having too much say in the GM's realm, as several people here have conjectured. I've never followed one of his teams closely enought to know how true that is but it certainly seems possible. Larry Bird once said that he thought teams ought to get a new coach every few years because they inevitably grow stale... could be something to that, too.
