Thread: Allen Iverson leaves Grizzlies for personal reasons

non-player zealot wrote: He was almost traded from Philly years before that, but a trade kicker that Matt Geiger refused to waive nixed it. Among other things, he butted heads w/ Larry Brown to be a 2 instead of a point (and he finally won out). Twos get to shoot more ... And they don't have to involve others if they don't want to. Being a PG meant he had a RESPONSIBILITY to the other guys on the team. Well his recent (and not so...

Everything about his approach to the game is selfish. Most players see practice as a chance to learn -- learn plays, learn your teammates, learn how to flow and bond as a unit. These relationships are built in practice. And that classic rant showed he had...

Isn't the CBA live again in Florida?

He could start at SG for Cleveland, especially if West gets suspended.

Why? AI wouldn't be asked to do a lot of ballhandling, he's not a very good spot up shooter, which is what the Lakers need to spread the floor. He's a cancer and his defense got...

Like I said, Starbury territory. From TrueHoop: Quote: “There’s no question that when he comes back we have to work some things out,” Heisley said. “He’s got a lot of work to do, but we’ve all got to get on the same page. He understands what the conditions are. And we need to be less hyper about this along with Allen.” Despite Heisley's remarks to the media, the rumor making its way through the NBA grapevine, according to a number...

Ainge ain't that stupid. I can see the potential in Ferry, though. Sheed is gonna think it's Groundhog Day if Iverson shows up again. And not in a good way.

Remember - the C's signed Marbury last year and he was in a much worse scenario and a far worse player than Iverson. When teams get desperate they do desperate things. You have to think about it not so much now but 2-3 months from now. Teams will have shaped up their position in the standings and they'll know what players can do and not do for them. They'll also know about injuries and what players are out. I think if Iverson...

The moron needs to realize he was only signed for his name, not any skills he once had. I know you're posturing, but c'mon do you feel that personal about this? It's not personal. It's just a guy who thinks he's still all that and he's too good to play off...

Now that he's answered (ha!) that question, I doubt they're suddenly saying to...
