Its just too bad for Iverson he got stuck with one of the worst gms in the history of sports in Billy King...
Iverson can't win it by himself...like the saying goes...you can't make chicken salad out of chicken $%#&...and iverson has been playing with chicken "crap" most of his career..
Pippen is another player that sacrificed some of his strengths because the team needed him to excel in other areas. Iverson just doesn't do this in his career. He's had talented players around him, but he just never got over the hump to learn that the best players in history make the 4 other guys out there WANT to play beyond their abilties.
Look at Iverson with Denver. The result are nearly identical to what he was doing in Philly after Larry Brown. Get his, gamble for steals, argue with his coach, argue with his teammates, but basically overall demonstrate qualities of selfishness. JR Smith has picked up on it. Look at all the ridiculous shots he takes when everyone knows how strong his penetration game to the rim is.
It's too bad for Melo now. If he had been drafted by Detroit he would have learned early on exactly what the Pistons do for each other to make them ECF contenders every single season.
Iverson is a great scorer and that's it.
