    I thought Kevin Ollie was playin for the Nets but I guess old Sherman Douglas stole his spot.Ollie played for the 76ers last season so he must have been a favorite of Larry Browns

    Apparently, the Answer is none to pleased with this news. And he just got injured. Meanwhile, Iverson blasted Brown for treating the team as if they were "6-17 instead of 17-6", and the rest of the team backed Iverson.

    Does anyone else here something ticking?

    What I sense is , that either brown or iverson are wrong, and the team is racist. Honestly, what African American player will stick up for a stiff white coach over an African American player ? I'm not shocked that they took Allen's side. That's the way things are.

    "I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence ?

    The Sixers had to sign Ollie because with Snow and now Iverson injured they needed a point guard. They just wanted to make room for Ollie on their roster so they waived Maxwell. Waiving Maxwell was a difficult decision for the Sixers, but they needed a point guard. The Sixers can still sign Maxwell again since there is room on their roster with Iverson injured.

    i dont think it had anything to do with race. I think it is just that they dont LIKE their coach, and dont respect him either. And it would be the same if the coach was black, chinese, or hispanic.

    Francis out top, 9 seconds on the clock, he gives a no look pass to Cuttino Mobley, 4 seconds left, Mobley passes to an open Langhi in the corner with 1 second left! Langhi at the buzzer.......YES!!! How Sweet It Is!!

    Rocks R us, i was just using examples. I have only seen black and white coaches. But since i thought my idea would be expressed better using a couple examples, I used some other races.
