yes, but Jackson was far more diplomatic and he is just as overrated as Brown is. Brown is all "my way or the highway" and most guys are gonna choose the highway.

I also don't buy that Brown's motives with this team are completely on the level. I think he is trying to make certain guys look bad to get them out of here and get his guys in. I don't think he's trying to make them better. What coach in the history of the NBA has played 12 guys a night? Where the hell is the rotation Brown promised like a week ago? This is madness. And I do respect Brown enough to think there's a method to it, but I think the his intended result isn't a better team, I think it's full control over the roster. Whether that means Isiah is here or not. He's an egotistic monster. Fire him.

Brown is an Egomanic, no doubt, but he also gets results. Brown has played 12 guys a night cause he has rookies who foul a lot, 2 centers who foul a lot, a creaky PF who can't keep up, a PF in a SF body in Rose, guards who can't keep in front of their men consistantly and so bigs have to recover and foul, injured guys, and out of shape guys. Did I leave anything out? Oh, and Brown is also unique in a different way: In recent memory he has been the only coach to take a team to the Championship without a designated Superstar or 2 on the team. Is he trying to weed out his team and find the true players from the pretenders? Sure, why not? We should thank him. Try to understand the genius, not hate him.

If Ben Wallace was in New York we would be calling him a superstar. Ditto Chauncey. Ditto Rip. Ditto Sheed. That Detroit team was stacked. Not the ESPN definition of superstars who sell jerseys and Gatorade and sneakers, but excellent players.

No man, I am talking Hakeem, Jordan, Pippen, Magic Johnson, Bird, Tim Duncan, David Robinson, Shaq, Kobe. Those guys are super stars. The list you mentioned, excellent players indeed but by no means in the same category as mine. How many collective all-star appearances in your list? You get my meaning.

well, first of all, Kobe doesn't belong anywhere near that list. Sprewell could've won three rings with Shaq in his prime.

okay, so Detroit doesn't have traditional superstars, but what happens if Detroit wins it all this year? Are they just remembering Brown's lessons even though they haven't been able to shut up about how happy they are that he's gone?

and did the Olympic roster not have enough superstars with Lebron, Wade and Amare? Or does he just not understand how to use players who are under 27?

Find me another coach in the league that would bench Amare.

The NBA probably picked the wrong guys for the wrong coach or they picked the wrong coach for the situation. That's been widely accepted by eveyone, evidently, but you. Who cares?

What's that got to do with the Knicks and their situation?

Name me a coach out there that's available that you would rather have.
