Of course, because we all know Ivy will be Averaging 33 and 7 while shooting 45% 2 years from now...
Did you read the part where I said there will already be enough scoring???Comment

Originally posted by triplej96Yep, and in an era where pure pgs are few are pretty rare. I would take chris pual, tf ford, luke, and even JJ redick over AI for the olympic team not because they are all better than ai but they are building a team not an high scoring "all star team".
You put Iverson with players as good as him, Guarantee he would defer his role and look pass firstLast edited by sense; 03-01-2006, 03:48 PM.OS Madden league (360) Giants: 0-0

Re: Iverson not giving a Olympic Invitation.......
Iverson should be there... PERIOD! Not sure if anyone caught any of the games in athens but Iverson played his heart out and prob had the best performance out of anybody there (including Timmy D). He had the best shooting percentage for them and even went when just about EVERY OTHER star backed out. How does someone like shaq, who is gonna be HELLA old by then still have an open invite? Sure he is great but if we are talking about 2 years from now, he is gonna be old. So i dont really wanna hear about the age thing. And yes, Iverson still played like a team player in athens when he could have EASILY been the focus of the offense. I dont wanna hear how he cant play with other allstars. People obviously dont watch allstar games (literally, people dont watch them) where there are a lot more stars than those that are gonna be in the olympics.

Re: Iverson not giving a Olympic Invitation.......
SMHat the people saying Luke > A.I....HONESSSSSSSSTLY. Luke cant play defense whatsoever. dont even try it. Luke is a horrible man to man defender, dont let stats w/ steals tell the story. Watch him play. Luke would lose to allen iverson 1 on 1 if A.I was 50 and Luke was 25.
A.I has something luke or any other pg on that team will ever have. Heart. A.I will give you everything he has, he'll become a pass first PG if he needs too, and at the same time he can get you hoops, play defense.Comment

Re: Iverson not giving a Olympic Invitation.......
AI should be the first choice of players to be picked, guys in here are sayin that there is enuff scorers, AI is a way better disher than luke will ever be. did yall ever watch AI in the all star games? he only scored when he had to. AI is the most underated player in the NBA today, how many guys today have the heart he has and how many guys wouldnt played with those injuries he had. I say NONE LOL at shaq missing games cuz of his big toe. how many players would have lead my poor 76ers to the records we had over the years with those bad rosters, the knicks should be ashamed of them selfsComment

Originally posted by Admiral50On talent, skill etc Iverson should be one of the first picked.
On the previous Olympics Iverson should be one of the first picked.
He was one of the few who actually played with heart, pride and a purpose during the games.
Yet they will pick the poster boys who all missed wide open jumpers, shot airballs, hit the side of the backboard etc.
That's why basketball fans looking at the USA team from the outside will continue to laugh at the players picked and the style of play. Not to mention the attidudes, ego's and the utter foul language on the court...
Good luck.
Bingo.Comment

This is ultimate bull****. There is no reason one of the best players in the league (Not only didn't make the team) dude didn't even get an invite. It's disgustingComment

Re: Iverson not giving a Olympic Invitation.......
Like many others, I don't understand how he got left off, but it seems to me that the USA Olympic team this year is more about who they want to present to other countries. I guess AI doesn't look as presentable as a few others with all his tatoos and the like, which is silly in my opinion, but it's the only reason I can really come up with.
I agree with DookieMowf. They get mad when people don't want to go play for the team, and then when someone is first in line to volunteer, they leave him off. Luke Ridnour? Why would they want to send him to the Olympics over Allen Iverson?
Last year they didnt have anybody that could shoot the ball, but now it looks like they want people who can only shoot the ball.
I can talk about this forever...but the bottom line is...AI should be on the team, and it feels like he didnt fit the image that was wanted. Silly.-Jay Illestrate, Emcee/Producer/Graphic Artist

Steven A Smith just reported during the CHI-CLE game on ESPN that Coach K in fact did have a lot of input with the assembly of this team, and that the team is to be built around Kobe Bryant.-Jay Illestrate, Emcee/Producer/Graphic Artist
