Daily News | Jerry Stackhouse, once traded by the Sixers for Aaron McKie, faced McKie, as coach of Vanderbilt
Timeout, Vanderbilt. The head coach — his own team desperate for a win, trying to close out a game at Temple — set up a play.
That’s a big moment in Sixers’ history right there. Stackhouse had been the guy the Sixers were going to build around, drafted third in 1995, just ahead of Stackhouse’s North Carolina teammate Rasheed Wallace and a high school player named Kevin Garnett. Jerry was being called the savior of the franchise, I had noted in the story. Life just turns in interesting directions. A year later, the Sixers had the No. 1 pick in the draft and chose a new savior named Iverson, who wasn’t such a perfect fit with Stackhouse, hence that trade a year after that:The Allen Iverson era took off from there, including that trip to the 2001 NBA Finals.
“This was a desperate team coming in. It seemed like they wanted it more. ... We didn’t do a good job of taking their strengths away.”
