  1. Legendary Coach Larry Brown, Always and Forever The Greatest GO SIXERS ❤️💙👑🏆🏀🙌🏾

  2. If we’re stuck going all in on harden cause of cap (aka we can’t let him walk n sign kyrie) then I think the solution is simple, harden and maxey need to switch roles, you help maxey grow into even bigger star putting ball in his hands, and you “let” and also “force” harden to be the scorer again, and be used to it going into playoffs next year, and they shud def go get Seth curry back just to add shooting on perimeter

  3. Can we plz bring back Larry Brown as a mentor or assistant coach , and bring in Nick Nurse 💯

  4. james Harden is not answer to Philly-neither is Joel-man up ! they are both chokes and Embiid’s bball IQ is average- he is 30 – move on he isn’t Shaq and never will be

  5. Embiid in the stretch throws away ball and walks court move on

  6. nothing like watching men avoid talking about chokes…

  7. Larry Brown was probably the best coach I ever saw, right and the guy is once again spot on, the 3 point shot has destroyed the game, and as he said,if you can take the ball inside close to the basket you are more likely to get a foul call or a high percentage shot, but incredibly there is a school of thought that says the way you win is with the three. Nuts can you imagine this Sixers team playing three quarters court defense, that would be interesting. Larry Brown is a basketball genius.

  8. This…this!!! is what I was saying, take it inside, create the team fouls, then go outside here and there
