However, take note that these players have their own individual talents that paved way for their multi-$$$ paychecks for their respective ball club.

It's a matter for a coach to discipline its players regardless of their fame and money. Remember that Brown gave up his career at Philadelphia for he can't win any championship even with Iverson in his lineup. Same case for Jackson for he is not in good terms with Kobe/Payton who doesn't know what team playing is all about.

the bottom line is, are these players coachable despite their individual skills and are ready to play a team game?
I don't think it means much that Brown left Philly. He did get them to the finals but the West was just way too good in recent years to go through without strong post presences. He's never stayed anywhere for all that long so it wasn't much of a surprise that he left Philly.

Hell the man took the Clippers to the playoffs, he must be pretty good.
