Iverson is not a team player and it was proven last season with the Pistons. The only thing saving him now is his popularity.

I'll take you up on that bet. Let's put it at let's say...$10 million?
If hes on a East Coast team, hes running it..

Kobe and AI are polar opposites as far as training and taking care of their bodies. And even though they've both played 13 years, Kobe is 3 years younger.

He just didnt feel like he was being used properly and its only Human nature to react the way he did after having experienced the kind of sucess he has, they were asking him to come off the bench (Do you honestly think thats all he has to offer?) The Detroit Pistons were a very average team at best last year, they couldnt rebound the ball, play defense, didnt have good perimeter players, and were the utterly worst coached team i have ever had to watch (They literally took turns taking jumpsots with no kind of fluidity to their offense, and they was no leadership from the coach although i agree he was in a tough spot)...having said that i dont think detroit was a good fit for him...becuase the things that they lacked are the things that are required for AI to suceed, now im not saying build your franchise around him becuase i know thats asking too much, but i think there are teams that can be a good fit for him....In addition i am sooo sick of hearing about how much better the nuggets are without allen iverson, they won only a couple more games this year that the last, people forget they didnt have nene, birdman, or even danthay jones (They all add to defense to a team that desperately needed it), the games of JR, and Klieza have come a long way not to mention Carmelo, and during the period that allen was with the nuggets he started alongside anthony carter (For a whole freaking season), Earl boykins, and steve blake...How did you expect them to play good defense when you set the man up to fail like that, having considered all those things, they still got to the playoffs and lost to the spurs (NBA Champions that year) and the Lakers (Pretty much the same team that beat them this year)...So i honestly think even though i dont think AI should be the vocal leader or desicion maker for a team i think he can still be the main or second scoring option....Cmon the guy can still play i promise and this is coming from someone who has rarely missed any of his games in the past 8 years....Originally Posted by RyGuy45
You arent looking at the other reasons. His attitude, his age (meaning you have to factor in his age for the next 3 years or so), his likely money demands, and him thinking he's still the man.
Teams are going to throw money around to young FA's who know their roll as opposed to hall of fame dudes in the twilight of their career where if they arent THE scorer and the breadwinner then they dont want to be there.
I tried to read your post like five times and I just kept getting distracted by your avy
Yeah all these players the have fallen out of their prime is making me feel real old.
