Iverson, Iverson - he's just tough to stop. But we didn't let anybody else step up and have a big game with him. For his part, Brown has been pleased with the Sixers' effort and willingness to at least try to do what he asks. If one guy takes 50 shots, it doesn't mean it's not team basketball, if that's what you need him to do, if that's what you ask him to do. I think the problem on this level is that more guys are interested in themselves.
Most kids coming in now forget it's the greatest team game.
That's the biggest challenge for any coach, to get guys to be more concerned with helping their teammates, making sacrifices. My example is an old Dean Smith thing. They try, but they can't, because somebody has to take it out. Even though that's a small lesson, it tells a lot about where our game is going. The Sixers, with Iverson playing his best team ball, have caught the attention of everyone in the league.
