I read this like his unborn son would be named after Washed before I got to the last few words
Or Washed will be reincarnated as Wemby's son

Duncan was on that bronze team too not like they had the worst b team talent
I don’t give any excuses for that team larry brown or not. But that also doesn’t mean their process was acceptable…

AI and Marbury was probably the angriest.
No chemistry, 24 had to teach 'em the game.

We talked about how nasty it is for Embiid to play for USA instead of France but what about not being able to represent your country because you don't understand.....consent.

He heard “LeBronze” and it sent Washed over the edge.

It wasn’t just the process it was about fit and playing style. Compare the 03 Tournament of the Americas team that was supposed to be the 04 Olympic team to the actual 04 team.
Larry Brown wanted to play a slow paced style with strong post play and snipers (Ray Allen and Mike Bibby) at the 3 point line to clear the paint for Tim, JO, Kenyon Elton Brand to go to work. Add in elite/athletic wings in Tmac, RJ and Vince with J Kidd running the point.
Larry Brown’s strategy wasn’t a bad one with the roster he thought he would get. When January of 04 rolled around the geopolitical environment decimated the roster. Larry got a team of young athletic players that would struggle in a half court game (due to lack of familiarity ) unless they could turn defense into offense.
Larry tried to out FIBA, more experienced FIBA teams. Coach K knew he couldn’t do that and decided to turn up the defense and make FIBA play US style of basketball.

It was actually the "Had to get Bean there to teach him how to win". That comment did it. That and I'm running on 4 hrs of sleep.

I don’t disagree with any of that but fit, play style, roster construction = process
They clearly revamped the process after the debacles

JT definitely could be worse....could be Kobe numbers.
