Tmac didn't wanna play in his cousin Vince shadow. Samething would've happened if he played wit AI.


Peak AI never got a chance to play wit another top notch player. :smh: wish he would've played in this player movement era, he would've gotten more help:mjcry:

1. The dynamic would've been different. A.I. would've played more point guard. The ONLY reason why they moved him to the 2 and gave him a green light was because there were no other scorers on the team.

2. Iverson's rookie year, Stackhouse averaged 20 ppg and Derrick Coleman average 18. Iverson had 7.5 assists per game.

So it's not like he wasn't playing PG. Stackhouse was acting like a bytch and didn't want Iverson to be the alpha on the team.


3. McGrady embraced teaming up with Grant Hill and Yao Ming.

Why do people always say this silly shyt about Iverson? He didnt have a selfish style of play, all those years in Philly there just wasnt another co-star that could get his own bucket.

He had Stackhouse and Derrick Coleman.

But Stackhouse didn't want to share the spotlight and Coleman was on the downside of his career. Both were gone after Iverson's 2nd season.

Goddamn T Mac been apart of a lot of failed trade scenarios :why:


The basketball gods must really hate him cause he could've won a ring if any of those scenarios happened:shaq2:

Even ring chasing didn't work. The one year the Spurs lose in the Finals is when he's on the team. They then proceed to win the very next season, when he's gone.

Would’ve gotten a ring here in Houston if his knee doesn’t fail and Yao doesn’t break his own foot. People are quick to forget game 6 was nearly the series until Yao broke his foot and the #1 option for game 7 became Ron Artest (which still turned out to be competitive until the last 5 minutes of the game).

And if this trade happened, does Iverson get traded in 2000?

NBA Playoffs 2001 - Geiger nixed deal that would have sent Iverson away

Brown was fed up with Iverson after multiple arguments and him not showing up for practice on several occasions, and had a trade agreed to that would have sent him to Detroit in the summer of 2000. Matt Geiger stopped the trade by not waiving his no trade clause.
That T-Mac trade would have set off a series of events that could have changed everything.
