Casino/practice fukkery aside Iverson got benched due to Rip Hamilton bytching about coming off of the bench, the team was actually playing decent with Al as a starter. He got blamed for a lot of the team chemistry woes that season when it was actually Rip and Tayshaun being the culprits, mainly Rip.Right that's the narrative the media is creating. In contrast for Iverson it was all about his bad attitude, practice rant, off court family/money problems, not wanting to come off bench, etc.. That the media focus on.
These same issues you can argue about Kobe throughout the years (minus the money issues), mind you....
In a nutshell the Media Made iversons fans forget about him/turn their backs on him (many of you in this forum) but the same media are giving Kobe a pity party or farewell tour and people are eating it up.
Plus we all know Kobe fans are deludional and will always think he can do no wrong.
Anyways it's sad how they get treated differently.
Iverson in his prime > Kobe.
But Iverson got benched in Detroit and Memphis (quick story I went to Iverson 1st game with Memphis as a fan to see his "comeback" and he didn't even play. But I met him afterwards randomly on the street after the game) then NBA forced him to go overseas where he was treated like a king. Finally he had to beg and cry to be even let back in the league.
Meanwhile Kobe is always entitled to everything, and focusing on his own career/image/personal goals while ruining the teams Chances at winning
Not to say Kobe wasn't a potential goat not long ago but he appears to have fallen off worse than AI. And with his demise he has dragged the lakers team down for atleast the past 3 years but I still respect him. I just respect Iverson just as much.... More really.
Too bad people don't see it the same as me.
i didnt miss chit.
iverson balled in memphis.
he didnt play bad in detroit. hell, he lowkey had some of his better games out there.
terrible post.
kobe had the machine behind him full-swing before he even reached crawford status.
i already know youre young, so lemme just tell you, theres reasons why most black kobe fans are 2000s kids at best. generally speaking.
theres a difference between making fun of somebody as opposed to running them out of the league. a big dam difference.
you can crack all the kobe jokes you want, but those same people are giving him a farewell parade.
you ask alot of stupid questions that dont have chit to do with chit.
i dont know if youre purposely trying to create a diversion or if youre serious.
yep. and i dont know whose idea it was to make michael curry the head coach of a veteran past-championship squad. lol. that was doomed for failure.
that pistons squad was already done. thats why they made the trade to get iverson in the 1st place.
team was full of issues from the flip saunders regime thru michael curry, all the way to the bill o'brien era years later where iirc, rip & tayshaun were on the bench, visibly making a mockery of o'brien. but somehow, iverson who was only there for a cup of coffee, gets blamed for all this stuff.

The media despises both Iverson and Kobe. Not sure why people act like the media favors one over the other.
Cleaner image? You know the media will never let go of that rape accusation.
Kobe is accomplished
Iverson is not
Kobe averaged 27-6-6 and carried a team to the playoffs before being injured
Iverson was....Well, we don't know where he was

People are going to say it's because Kobe won rings and Iverson didn't.
This may be true, but it's still bullshyt.
I don't believe you "earn" the right to hang around at the team's detriment...potentially stunting the development of other players on the team.
Kobe was great. Kobe won rings. You know what that earned him? Millions of dollars. Period.
It doesn't earn you a roster spot. And it doesn't earn you minutes. You know what earns you those things? Performance.

dudes is just repeating media rhetoric in here.
how was it clear that he was done? did you not know that he was injured and shouldnt have even been suiting up most of those sixers games? are you aware of the reason why he left? did you not see him balling in memphis just months before that?
show me examples of a healthy iverson stinking it up like kobe. hell, she me an example of an injured iverson stinking it up like kobe.
im not saying iverson was still in his prime or anything like that, and yes his clock was definitely ticking, but if you cant see the clear difference, then i dont know what to tell ya.
Kobe is still under contract....when it's time for him to be a free agent you'll see how many teams want to sign him (just like AI)

Iverson would have been fine if he decided to come off the bench, media is not to blame for team not offering him the starting position. Media is also telling Kobe to retire or should have retired 3 years ago everyday, the only reason he still starts is because he has played 20 years for Lakers. Has to do more with Philly than media

My point is if he wasn't a c00n they wouldn't do shyt like you just named being great isn't enough to get love from the cacs ask pretty boy Floyd. :dre:

Nikka get the fukk outta here cacs love tobe they hardly ever bring up the rape case.
Now that he's not doing well and he's about to retire, they'll find a way to bring it up again.Nikka get the fukk outta here cacs love tobe they hardly ever bring up the rape case.

If being successful is enough to be loved, why is Floyd hated?Kobe is accomplished
Iverson is not
Kobe averaged 27-6-6 and carried a team to the playoffs before being injured
Iverson was....Well, we don't know where he was
The truth is any black athlete that isn't a tap dancing sambo is hated by the media and cacs. Just look at kareem, arguably the greatest center ever and people look at him as an a$$hole because he was woke.

I doubt it tobe will continue to c00n it up like his rival Tim Duncan :SOGvictim:Now that he's not doing well and he's about to retire, they'll find a way to bring it up again.

5 rings, a couple olympics, the only time Iverson played is the only time we've lost.
He's won too many hearts to get ran out, he's been dealing with injuries and he's probably the most known and biggest name in the league WW after Lebron right now.
