The NBA has the best of two worlds: prima-donna players and prima-donna coaches. Sometimes the worlds shake hands and create that symbiosis called champions, as with the Lakers. Sometimes they merely collide. I don't know that much about professional basketball, especially in these days of its descent into mortal dullness, but I do know Larry Brown, who I suspect like most top-rung coaches is a giant in his own mind, had trouble with His Royal Pain in the Highness Allan Iverson, and in the NBA, when the irresistible force meets the immovable object, the lesser-paid force or object gets it.
I want to see him coach Sneaker Man. He does, too.
