Why do some people feel this way about Allen Iverson?

[Fckumeen]

The Coli don't got love for A.I?

 

[HookersandIceCream]

Shaq gave him props
Shawl gives no one props

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

but HE got them there... with no other superstar on the team

we talking about the philadelphia 76ers here... shall we up some of these rosters he played with??


yea he's mike vick... meanwhile mike vick won more playoff games than tony romo out here... and more than 85% of the starting qbs in the league right now


this isn't golf... there's a entire team out there and shyt coaches


so are we all taking eli manning over peyton now??

anybody taking rasheed wallace over charles barkley

robert horry over reggie miller


people who work for the nba and are paid to analyze these things, say he was top 2 under 6ft EVER... and yet the coli brains have regulated him to derek fisher status like he was just some regular nikka out here

Y'all really missing the point.... everyone concedes that Iverson was a great player, HOF caliber.... but AI stans can't accept that he truly was overrated.

Literally every trait he possessed that made you idolize him, and made him so influential... is why he hasn't been on an NBA roster in 5 seasons.

and for the record, Mike Vick.... has only won 2 playoff games.

Why do you think he hasn't been on an NBA roster for 5 years? it's not cause he can't play basketball..


or do you ascribe to the Iverson conspiracy theories?

Some of yall don't even realize how ass those Sixers teams were. Billy King was his GM and was filling the roster with Corliss Williamson, Dalembert, John Salmons...King was fukkin terrible just look what he did to the Nets. Plus they had one of the worst owners in the NBA with Ed Snider....cac only cared about hockey didnt give a fukk about the Sixers except that paycheck.

Damn near every NBA legend from Jordan to Barkley to Shaq to Isiah Thomas and on says this nikka is one of the greatest to ever play...even nikkas like Kobe, Wade and LeBron say he was one of the greatest...its just yall who dont like this dude

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

even if he had another star on the team he wouldnt pass it to him. thats how you build a ai team, you put a bunch of role players around him and let him score

he had melo and passed the ball

 

[FaTaL]

he had melo and passed the ball

yea but hes not a pg, hes better with the ball in his hands

melo and ai just dont mix

2 guys who need the ball in their hands

 

[Yayo Toure]

Lol @ everyone blaming AIs teammates. You understand that for the sixers to have any success they had to defend(don't let AIs stats fool you, most of his steals came from gambling the passing lanes) and rebound the 59% of shots that AI would miss.

Eric snow has one talent on the basketball court. George Lynch also has one talent. Aaron Mckie etc etc. All defenders. I'd say AI has one talent too, but when you shoot 41% you aren't a talented scorer, just a dude who shoots alot.

He was bad for the game because he had some much influence on the next generation of players and he showed them the exact WRONG way to act and carry themselves. It worked for him, but then there were multiple Iverson clones and that is when the league started declining.

Damn, white people really do think Iverson actually HURT the game of basketball.

 

[andre patton]

There is absolutely no way Isiah Thomas could score like Allen Iverson I dunno wtf his old ass is talkin about.

 

[Big Boss]

 

[TOP LAD]

He's great
He's just not better than Wade

 

[Digga38]
