Hopefully one day we will see AI on the air as an announcer for some network who is willing to take the chance on him.

Larry Brown gets tons of credit for being the go to guy for turning a franchise around but he was sort of a dikk to his superstars. Same with George Karl.

George Karl is horrible. I was living in MileUkee when he broke up the big three. He traded ray Allen in his prime for a over the hill Gary Payton. And then traded sam Cassell for Anthony peeler and joe smith. That bucks team could've competed in that weak ass east for a couple years

The practice comments were not during the finals it was after they lost to Boston by 97 points in the 4th QT and Iverson stood at half court sobbing when slowass Antoine Walker stole the ball for the breakaway.

Moreover this moron didn't understand how practing with his team could make them a better team.

That's a nice lineup. McNabb, Payton and Andy Roddikk

:aicmon:

Just last week Mcnabb said the AFC East was the best division in football and Payton said Mark Sanchez had the best qb play of all qbs (so far) this preseason.

Sure they're going to give us some nice anecdotes here and there but as far as analysis and commentary... :aicmon:

I remember that game, Paul Pierce torched our ass :sadcam:
but our team was just not as good in 2001-02. Harpring, Derrick Coleman, Mutombo and Snow was not enough of a supporting cast to get past Pierce, Twon, Kenny Anderson.

AI needed to score 50 points a game if we were going to win that series, and he was just not healthy enough to be in full effect.
