    I want to know why the Knicks brought Larry Brown over to coach knowing dam well the rocky relationship Brown and Iverson had, knowing Steph and AI are dam near twin brothers. And even when Brown the summer before benches AI, Steph, and a bunch of other players. A summer the Team “NBA” USA suffered its first non gold at the Olympics since the Dream Team in 92. Brown clearly showed he had issues with young black talent in the NBA and maybe over the years that wore off between him n Iverson. But the minute he stepped in the garden he sabotaged Steph’s final years in NYC

With Steph there as freshman, and as talented as he was. Sims, who really didn't lead the team. Would've probably lost his job with the way he started the season off to the much more talented Marbury. Wallace, Todd Burgan, Otis Hill, and Jason Cipola with Sims running point almost had Kentucky. With Steph running that team, it would've been more potent. AND THAT'S A FACT!

      You might want to do some research, because Cedric Benson was a LEGEND in high school; he was nicknamed “The Governor” for a reason.
      Benson wasn’t a slouch in college either, and Mack Brown - who was loyal to a fault - wasn’t going to bench a productive player.
      I’m an OU football fan who’s very grateful that Mack Brown told Peterson he wouldn’t start ahead of Benson.

    From a Brooklyn, New Yorker and Syracuse alum. As great of a talent as Stephon Marbury was, Lazarus Sims, in that system, was a better fit to lead Syracuse to that title game! Marbury may have been hoggin', and worried about his bouncing to the NBA; Cuse may have gotten bounced, early. Sims, on the other hand, was a solid distributor with that team (after three years coming off the bench and learning that system), that allowed a John Wallace to emerge as a senior star. And, in Boeheim's zone, Sims was 6-4/6-5, with long arms that looked like an octopus; the prototype body needed to defend in the 2-3.
