Larry vs. Phil:

Larry Brown or Phil Jackson? Coke or Pepsi? Hamlet or King Lear? McDonalds fries or Burger King Fries? Speed or Crsytal Meth? Let the debate begin. After the awkward brilliance that was Phil Jackson's televised interview from the Australian Open it seems that the floodgates have opened. Every two-bit hack, from the dispicable Peter Vescey to one up-and-coming Knicker-Blogger, has felt compelled to weigh in on the subject.

Here goes.....I would definitely rather have Larry Brown. He coached Steph in Greece, and although the team didn't play well, all reports said that the two of them got along great. Steph came home talking about Wins and Losses being the stats to judge him by, and although he seems to have lost the plot here, it was a great idea. The Knicks need a guy who can flat-out coach. They need X's, they need O's, and they need someone to get them in the gym and remind them how to play D. They don't necessarily need a flashy name (not that Larry Brown doesn't have a certain luster about him) and leather-bound copies of The Art of War.
