    Chris Webber made his dislike for former 76ers coach Jim O'Brien and his system known often during the brief time the two were together.

    On Monday, O'Brien fired back for the first time.

    "In one of the first conversations I had with Chris Webber, I said, 'This is one of the ways we're going to use you offensively [down low with Kyle Korver on the outside],' " O'Brien said. "And he said, 'Coach, I don't do the low-post thing anymore.'

    "We just made a major trade to bring in this 6-[foot]-11 guy and he said, 'No,' and I said, 'Yes, you do.'"

    "Webber didn't practice at all that year prior to coming to us," he said. "I think he was just at the point where he didn't necessarily feel he was in need of practice, or could practice. It became apparent that he was not going to give the Philadelphia 76ers everything that we had hoped for." -- The News Journal</div>

    The Webber trade was terrible for Philly. Out of all the sidekicks that AI had there, i would have to say that he was by far the most disappointing.
