Re: RB Fantasy Basketball Chat
I dunno...tbh I think that AI will keep a starting position even after Lou comes back, if not that then I could easily picture him and/or Lou getting starters type minutes in the 6th man role
and it's not problem imo either way, just last week Iverson stated that he doesn't mind the bench role as long as the circumstances call for it, in Memphis he was battling out fucking Mike Conley for a starter spot, which is a joke and a slap in the face to AI it's no surprise he dipped, Lou Williams is at least a real talent that played well prior to injury..Conley has been a bust since he was drafted
Re: RB Fantasy Basketball Chat
i don't get why the fuck memphis even went after iverson to put him on the goddamn bench. he was always my favorite player growing up, just watched the 01 all star game the other night where he led the east to like a 20 point 4th quarter comeback. this kinda shit pisses me off, it's humiliating to him. if you're trying to build up a team with rookie guards then don't sign allen fucking iverson.
Re: RB Fantasy Basketball Chat
Circumstances weren't right in Detroit Smoka? I mean, sitting behind Rip is a lot more legit then sitting behind Conley.
Re: RB Fantasy Basketball Chat
same here, AI in basketball is like Randy Moss to me in football...probably my favorites alltime

word. i don't think the casual fan these days has a grasp on exactly how great iverson was in his prime. especially given his size.
Re: RB Fantasy Basketball Chat
Everyone knows how good he was, but a lot of oldschool bball fans care just as much about off the court shit then on the court shit. He was the start of the hiphop era in basketball.

AI will always have my respect for the "Practice" interview.

i'm sorry but when i think of controversial players who have tainted the image of the nba iverson isn't really one of the guys who comes to mind, ya know? what kind of trouble has he really gotten into off the court? you got kobe cheating on his wife and getting accused of rape, artest fighting with fans, sprewell choking coaches. is it because of iverson's tats and the way he dresses? as far as i'm aware he's always handled himself pretty damn well off the court all these years. there's a shitload of players who've fucked up way worse than anything he's ever done.

He found out his girl cheated on him and he physically threw her out in the front yard naked and locked the door. lol
Re: RB Fantasy Basketball Chat
lmao. somehow i never heard about that but good shit. that just enriches his legacy in my eyes hahaha what a beast. she shouldn't have been trickin it up, it ain't like he beat her right? anyway i'm just sayin, i think there's dudes who done way worse shit in professional sports, even the nba.
Re: RB Fantasy Basketball Chat
Well, duh. But he did have some issues and oldschool cats hold that against him. I have no problem with him. I love AI. I was thrilled that he was coming to Detroit. Just sayin, there are still 30 and 40 and 50 and 60 year olds that watch nba and still got that short short attitude.
Re: RB Fantasy Basketball Chat
yea word. everybody's young and dumb once. he seemed to have matured a lot though over the years, having his kids to raise and everything. but i've never seen anyone pour more of his heart into each game than ivey. never been anyone like him and there sure as hell won't be after he's done.
Re: RB Fantasy Basketball Chat
threw her out naked?
gangster imo, don't know what messes up your image about that, most dudes beat their chicks or the other guy involved when some shit like that happens
