Larry Brown & Teamwork
Posted by Gordon Smith

Last month, when the NBA playoffs were just beginning, I expressed some negative thoughts about Larry Brown, coach of the Detroit Pistons. I don't spend a lot of time thinking about the NBA or Larry Brown, but if the Pistons beat the Lakers in Game 5 tonight, that will be an amazing accomplishment: Brown will be the first coach ever to win both NCAA and NBA titles. (Of course, the Series would already be over if Larry Brown had played his cards right in Game 2, the Pistons only loss.) More important to me, a Pistons win would represent the triumph of one of my deeply held values: great teams beat great individual players. Larry Brown's coaching is about playing as a team. Kudos for that, Larry.
