Exactly.. he didnt fit in nor try too.. i mean shit hes been doing what hes been doin for his career i can imagine thats hard too but.. thats what it is.

2012 i can only take you serious 12% of the time you and a few other people like Gee.. Mumo and whomever type the same.. yall from the same paranoid tribe or something wtf..

 

[yroholla]

Not sure if they blackballed Iverson...but anybody cosigning Iverson being benched for Conley shouldnt be taken seriously...GMs and coaches included

You provin the point. He was the better player, his numbers are still serviceable but...you wouldn't sign him because you dont want him around your young players. Do you not know the definition of blackballed?

 

[twizza 77]

Memphis had to see what they had in Conley since he's a young player. Hey Conley team will be playing in the playoffs while Iverson is at TGI Friday's watching.

 

[Maalik]

you fake fucc...accepting a diminished role, is exactly what he did!

...constantly in the media saying "this is "Melo's team!" to quiet lame azz critics who saw one thing but reported it as something else. Niggu started every game he played for Denver, when he got there, and avg. over 7 ast. per game----------both years!

Cosign...and Im still tryna understand why A.I. was a ballhog & Ray Allen wasnt...when they both attempted the same amount of shots in A.I.'s last startin year. I dont understand that argument.

its not about the numbers, its about the team. U got the same mindset as A.I.

 

[DaFifthElement]

him, or any scoring pg/sg combo type player would be bad for the lakers and the triangle. not just iverson. if he was willing to sit back and shoot and make a couple 3's a game, then he could work, but i doubt he'd settle for that. Phil Jackson has had success with Fisher, BJ Armstrong, Ron Harper, etc... that offense needs Fisher more than it needs AI

That means Kobe isn't good for the Lakers. He runs the triangle when he feels like it and has been fucking up their chances lately.

The only problem with that statement is that the NBA is full of "me" niggas. Niggas that don't care about winning but care about stats. I never thought AI was that type o dude. He scored tons on pts in Philly because he had no one. When he went to Denver and played with Melo, Smith, Nene and Kmart, he modified his game and became a better PG, lower PPG and higher Asst numbers. It was the trade to Detroit that killede him, Curry couldnt coach for shit and fucked AI and Detroit into where they are right now. Then Memphis dicked him for Mike Conolly who is garbage... AI should find a spot in the league but Stern basically made it so he cant come back.

 

[kAjUn]

Being a A.I. stan even I can't co-sign this thread.

Did it appear to look like he got blacxkballed? Yes

But in reality he really blackballed himseelf with all the aforementioned reasons.

Exactly...word for word.

I don't know if yall ever read those player x blogs on espn and if you believe they're really players but one of the "player x" dudes said the same shit. He said when you are bad for the league and aren't as good anymore stern will blackball your ass. If I remember right he said something like, "come on now, you trynna tell me a.i. isn't better than some of these bench players even though he's on the decline". I don't agree that he should've been a starter but I do think he could and should have been on the bench of a lot of teams

 

[playmaker88]

He did not adjust.

 

[G Mack]

lmao@stats being the main argument

you can tell who knows basketball and who doesn't

its all good though AI is a legend who will forever hold a spot in my sports heart

 

[H-Rap 180]

You mean, pussAZZ crackas will do that...

because they know he was colluded, and they know why...same for Barry Bonds, Stephon Marbury, Dennis Rodman, and Jamal Tinsley...LOL...these pussAZZ white boys know what they're doing-----------it's their Country!!

Bru, you forgot about Craig Hodges.

nah, i'm just saying that the triangle doesn't require a player like iverson. fisher is better for that offense than iverson is
