Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson and former 76ers head coach Larry Brown, now with the Detroit Pistons, are teaming back up on the United States Men's Senior National Team in the Olympics and it appears their stormy relationship has been buried in favor of mutual appreciation.

"You never know how much something means to you until it's gone," said Iverson, who played six years under Brown with the 76ers before he left to coach the Pistons. "And that's kind of the situation with me and Coach Brown."

Responded Brown: "He doesn't need to say those things. I care about him. I miss him." His nose did not appear to expand as he spoke.

Iverson is the USA team's co-captain, sharing the honor with San Antonio Spurs forward Tim Duncan.
