It is possible Larry Brown could be one of the best coaching minds in NBA history. So much so, he believes he could turn the Philadelphia 76ers around in record time.
Not sure if current coach Brett Brown should be insulted by Larry’s comments, but it wouldn’t hurt Brett to at least listen to Larry’s comments of letting Allen Iverson back in the organization.
From Sheridan Hoops:
“Brown’s early Sixers teams also struggled, before he turned explosive guard Allen Iverson loose and got the franchise to the 2001 NBA Finals. It’s been pretty much downhill for Philly since, with Brown a fierce critic of the way the organization has been handling things.
“I’m sick of what’s going on there,” Brown said, who’s hopeful that old friend Jerry Colangelo will guide them in the right direction. “You know I care about the Sixers. It’s an unbelievable basketball city and I had a great experience there. I don’t want to get on them when they’re struggling, but they don’t have any veteran leadership. I want to help. I could straighten it out in five minutes. I wish they’d get Allen involved. All those young kids worship him.”
Very soon though, it will finally be time for Larry Brown to turn all his attention to SMU, rather than lament what’s happened to his old team here. Time for him to look ahead, because looking back has been more difficult than usual this year.”
