The cracks were there in the 2000 Olympics even though we won the Gold, but its not a coincidence that in 2002 and 2004 our coaches were George Karl and Larry Brown respectively

Two miserly azz cacs who were extremely steadfast in the ways, mostly to the detriment to the teams they coached
I have no respect for George Karl as a coach.

I never got if he's like a Reggie Miller/Karl Malone (solid stars or even superstar for decades but couldn't lead a team to a chip) or a Jamal Crawford (solid role player for decades). Kinda hard to say with coaches unless you follow all their teams

Wade and Lebron would have locked them nikkas up. Larry brown is an idiot

Nah they wasnt defenders like that back then. They wasnt doin shyt.


How come in 06 when they and Melo was the leaders and team captains they lost and couldnt guard those Greek nikkas? Had em shootin gyros at 63% from the field :picard: This was 06 too in they prime and Coach K was coachin and their defense wasnt doin shyt

Man stop that this about the team that played that still had a bunch of stars, HOF and "the best player in the world" Tim Duncan and them nikkas got PACKED up. It was a massive upset no matter if some nikkas that was supposed to be on was at home we wasnt supposed to lose we was still most talented by far and supposed to beat everyone
Bruh they literally added bron, melo, and wade a week or 2 after the season. They were rookies and should not of been there on that team

Lol he'll naw. nikkaz was too young. Ain't know how to win yet. 08 would have been different without kobe and d wade.

Lebron was passive as hell against Spain in the championship game whereas D Wade and in the 4th Kobe just took over

Why point out the players in the title when larry brown was the main reason they lost?

If you can't coach younger players then you should have given the coaching spot to someone else.

That is a lazy take. It was fault on many people from the top down. You can replace Larry Brown and the result would be the same
