Allen Iverson

[sinkinginthesea]

Honestly, does anybody really care he retired?

[Waldorf]

who

[LikeAnAvalanche]

Yes, he is one of the greatest scorers of all time.

[Dirty Ernie]

He's been irrelevent for a few years but in his prime he was one of the most exciting players in sports. As a Sixers fan I'll always appreciate what he did for the city. The run in 2001 was incredible.

This is how I will always remember him. Though this is fucking hilarious, one of the most selfish players ever to play the game.

[abcdefghijake]

He was too thug for the Thuggets.

[MIKEY_HORROR]

Ehh, I care some....but it made me feel old as hell! I remember watching him, his rookie year. Me and my buddy were big fans of him when he came in, and then I saw it was 18 seasons....and I was just like. Shit. I am old.

[open mind]

great player in his day, and he had to be doing something right to last that long in philly without the city calling for his head.

[tommyishere]

he was a good player but i dont care for him

[drawndead]

i'm happy he retired so he never became a knick. teams in a rebuilding process they don't need that clown. iverson was one of the best during his prime in philly. since he left he went downhill

you mean 14 seasons right cuz your such a hardcore fan asshole

[sinkinginthesea]

lol this.

[FondestMemory]

Hes without a doubt a hall of famer. Its always gonna be a big story when a hall of famer retires.

this is true about him leaving philly and going downhill, although having allen iverson on the knicks for a year may have boosted ticket sales for once before lebron gets there, i wouldnt have cared either way if he went there or not though. i guess he retired now, oh well.

[Drew Beringer]

He's a NBA icon. The cultural impact he had on the league when he entered was huge.

[sinkinginthesea]

Yeah maybe true, but until he accepts that he's no longer a franchise player and needs to come off the bench I'd have much more respect for him.

i dont think lebron is gonna come to NY. i think we might get Wade.

[eman83]

Will always remember him for the crossover on Jordan.

[eman83]

i dont think lebron is gonna come to NY. i think we might get Wade.

lol.

[iihungrieii]

i dont think lebron is gonna come to NY. i think we might get Wade.

i think you get some ok player and overpay him cause all the big name stars dont wanna go to NY

[sinkinginthesea]

i dont think lebron is gonna come to NY. i think we might get Wade.
Wade might be staying in Miami, or possibly Chicago since it's his hometown. Chances of getting Bosh are pretty high though.

[MIKEY_HORROR]

you mean 14 seasons right cuz your such a hardcore fan asshole

First off I said we WERE fans, I haven't been a fan of basketball in years.. And secondly I could have sworn it said 18 seasons during the thing they showed during the Magic game last night

[allisterkid]

Hes without a doubt a hall of famer. Its always gonna be a big story when a hall of famer retires.

I agree that he's a hall of famer, but the way that he spiraled his career the last three seasons, I do not think he'll be first ballot.

And I would not be surprised at all if a contender gets desperate and gives him an offer mid to late season. He'll be staying in basketball shape.

[drawndead]

i would take chris bosh anyday. we need core players

[poppa Q]

a) Dear God I hope Wade goes to Chicago
b) AI will be back in the league

[sinkinginthesea]

i would take chris bosh anyday. we need core players
Well yeah definitely. Build a team around a big man.

[Drew Beringer]

Knicks will not sign Bosh or Wade or Lebron. Keep dreaming, why would anyone want to play for that sinking ship?

[And Hours Pass]

Knicks will not sign Bosh or Wade or Lebron. Keep dreaming, why would anyone want to play for that sinking ship?
Why would anybody want to play in the most iconic basketball arena in the NBA with an incredible history? The knicks have the city, the history, and the money to pay. They essentially agreed to sink for 2 years to get a good player. They won't be getting Lebron and probably won't get wade, but they'll definitely get some good players.

I care that he retired because he was the first 16 year old NBA player.

[Drew Beringer]

I don't think players today really care about playing in Madison Square Garden, I don't think that will be a huge draw for most of these players. I can see the Knicks getting someone like Joe Johnson, but they won't get any of the A-list stars.

[drawndead]

Knicks will not sign Bosh or Wade or Lebron. Keep dreaming, why would anyone want to play for that sinking ship?

because they'll give someone a huge contract for millions and 7 years

He said practice at least 40 times. Holy shit that was ridiculous. haha

[FondestMemory]

no. Hes a first ballot guy without a doubt.

17th all time in scoring. Sixth all time in scoring average, and only .1 out of the top 5. Four scoring titles and an mvp. Not to mention that he is far and away the greatest player under six feet tall to ever step on a court.

I dont care about the last three years, you cant argue against him being a hall of famer, so i dont see how that doesnt make him a no question first ballot guy.

[paidtomakegirls]

So now that hes not retiring...I see him comin to Golden State. Someone needs to wake this goddamn team up.

I see your video of AI talking about practice and I raise you the Press Hop

They have the cap space right now for two stars. One of those A-list free agents will take the money if the contracts will meet expectations like they are now.

[Drew Beringer]

I doubt it.

[Tyler Vagyler]

Wade is going to the Magic.
LeBron is staying in Cleveland.

AI will be back soon.

[Momo32T]

Wade is going to the Magic.
LeBron is staying in Cleveland.

AI will be back soon.

With the money they currently have sunk in Vince Carter and Rashard Lewis...not likely. There was a reason they couldn’t bring Hedo Turkoglu back.

[startBBtoday]

you mean 14 seasons right cuz your such a hardcore fan asshole

grammatically incorrect overreaction of the year goes to...

[allisterkid]

no. Hes a first ballot guy without a doubt.

Eh... if I had a vote I wouldn't vote him in immediately (depending on the class), but I'm really into good teammates, and I'm not easily impressed by huge numbers.

He was amazing, no doubt. But I hated seeing him take 30 shots to make sure he gets his 30 points. I know he could have been much better as a teammate if he gave the effort.

[FondestMemory]

People give him shit for being a shitty teammate, yet he averaged more than 5 assists a game. He was also an underrated defender, so he was giving his all on both ends of the court.

He averaged over 2 steals a game and over 5 assists a game for his career. All while scoring 27 a game. Know how many other players have averaged 25, 5 and 2 for a career? Two.

Hate the person all you want, but his game is hard to question.

[sleepyseanzzz]

i dont think lebron is gonna come to NY. i think we might get Wade.

the one reason why i think lebron is coming is because when the cavs played the knicks at MSG right after the world series ended, jay-z was there along with arod and at least 6 other yankees to try and show him how good it would be if he played in NY. lebron's shoes that night had pinstripes on the toes and one foot said "27" and the other said "new york"

[theguy77]

i dont give a shit about anything that happened off the court, he was a marvel. his ability to get separation from defenders and create turnovers was simply unparalleled.

Thats because hes a lifelong yankees fan. It had nothing to do with the knicks.

[sleepyseanzzz]

Thats because hes a lifelong yankees fan. It had nothing to do with the knicks.

so why wear those shoes if he didn't have an interest in coming. why would he not want to play in the city he has loved all his life?

[Drew Beringer]

Not to mention his cornrows were always fresh.
and his Reebok Questions are classic.

[Drew Beringer]

so why wear those shoes if he didn't have an interest in coming. why would he not want to play in the city he has loved all his life?
lol Nike has been making Yankee versions of his shoes for 4 years now. He loves the Yankees. also lol comparing playing for the Knicks to playing for the Yankees.

[You Vandal]

Iverson has a place somewhere in this league. He can't be done.

[Tyler Vagyler]

AI to the bobcats. We need someone that can put up points. And he would bring some hope.

[You Vandal]

Iverson set to return to the Sixers.

[jay_klinkhammer]

There's a certain 1-14 team that I know that could use a veteran PG.

Or at least another win in general.

[Drew Beringer]

Don't the T-Wolves already have 15 point guards? haha

[jay_klinkhammer]

Don't the T-Wolves already have 15 point guards? haha

No. Sessions and Flynn is all they have at PG.

Just because a team takes 2 in the first round doesn't mean they have a lot. It would've been the only 2 we had if Rubio stayed. :-p

[FondestMemory]

so why wear those shoes if he didn't have an interest in coming. why would he not want to play in the city he has loved all his life?

he is playing in the city hes loved all his life.

Being a lifelong yankees fan doesnt equate to wanting to play for the knicks. Wearing those shoes to celebrate the yankees winning the world series doesnt equate to wanting to play for the knicks.

[sleepyseanzzz]

he is playing in the city hes loved all his life.

you're right. we'll just have to wait to see where he ends up now

[SunnyInPhilly]

AI to the bobcats. We need someone that can put up points. And he would bring some hope.

AI and Larry Brown seem to have a connection that might draw him but the situation there seems like it would be much like the one he just left in Memphis. Sixers are likely the best destination for him, all things considered.
