Ask AI if he wants to be evaluated by height.
He was one of the best, most exciting PGs the league has ever seen and will ever see. He's the best little guy in terms of creating his own shot, but outside of that... making top 10, top 20, top 30 type evaluations seems dumb, mostly because there's never been a guy like him. He never really had the support he needed early so it's too hard to evaluate where the guy places overall. I remember watching those Sixers teams and thinking Todd MacCulloch, Eric Snow, Aaron McKie...wth? The one legit scoring threat he had back then was Jerry Stackhouse (don't mention Larry Hughes to me, please). His scoring stats from '99 to '07 are ridiculous.

If Mike Bibby was starting games in the NBA Finals, a humbled Allen Iverson surely deserves a spot one some bench.

I thought his Reebok deal was only good if he continues playing basketball?

It isn't the figure of speech. It is the fact that you somehow tried to manipulate (via words) that Allen Iverson is any way, shape, form the BEST of all time. And that just isn't true by any measure at all. You can love the dude but that is just out there.

Being a longtime AI fan, I always had a hard time watching him on the defensive side of the ball. yea he would play the passing lanes and get a steal or two a game, but given his stature and lack of defensive intensity he was always a liability at the defensive side of the ball. If he does make a comeback, I hope he goes to a strong defensive team. If you look at the successful AI team's, he's always had a big man controlling the paint(Ratliff, Mutombo) and E.Snow(gritty guard). I have no doubt that he can still put up points, he just needs to go to a team where all they need him to do is score and facilitate. I always thought AI was an underrated passer, due to him being publicized more as SHOT taker haha. WITH THAT SAID....please end up in Miami!!!!

Exactly, when he got bounced from Memphis it was reported that as long as he puts on a jersey he gets that 5 million a year from Reebok. How can a ninja just throw that away cuz he wanted to just start or get more playing time. Iverson burnt too many bridges and now is feeling the fallout from it. Honestly he should still be playing a good role on a team if he would of checked his ego a long time agoOriginally Posted by SaintVitus07
Da "lifetime" reebok contract...What a joke. Remember, this is the same contract that was first reported by Stephen A. Smith, and "reportedly" had a moral clause in it, meaning he had to own up to certain "lifestyle" requirements. It also "reportedly" had a requirement that he still be playing. And what does that really mean, specifically? There's a lot of questioning there, and there's a lot of people in this thread talking about stuff they know very little about.

This dude AI is an idiot and still would be playing a good role and getting that 5 mill a year.
