from AP:
Iverson, who supposedly became close with Hughes the last two years, blamed Hughes for failing to fit in with the Sixers. "To be honest, Larry had his opportunities to play more minutes," Iverson said. "All he had to do to get more minutes was show the coach, do whatever it takes to be on the court. Forget going back to me and Larry playing the same position. You do whatever it takes to make the team better. If Larry had to play point guard, he had enough talent to play the point. I don't think Larry was willing to do that."
My, oh, my. Can you imagine Francis saying that about Mobley?
