Re: Iverson to Bobcats in 2009-2010?

I dont think that'll happen at all man, but his attitude needs a change

Re: Iverson to Bobcats in 2009-2010?

He better change something out here or retiring might just be his best and only option available.

Re: Iverson to Bobcats in 2009-2010?

I hope he doesn't retire as he has always been one of my favorite players since he entered the league.

If he just made it known that he would be willing to come off the bench, god, he could make money. Now he's just looking at one year..

Re: Iverson to Bobcats in 2009-2010?

Heard Broussard say that there is no market for AI, and there is a realistic chance that he might just retire vs be a roleplayer somwhere. If true, wow. Considering the skillz he still has, I find that very sad.

I'm glad that there's no contending team that wants this guy. His selfishness finally caught up. Retire, loser.

Damn that's pretty harsh.

Just for nostalgia sake I hope he doesn't hang em up. I will never forget how absolutely unstoppable he was for about 3 or 4 years. So many injuries, but he didn't give a damn and played through them, and played damn well.

The thing that I fear is, you can change your attitude but at this point is it too late to change how you play? He's so used to playing his way, to change that now might be too weird for him I don't think he could be effective on an elite team.

I was at a CLE/PHI game where AI sprawled out on the floor for a loose ball after separating a shoulder the day before. Say what you will but no one was ever tougher than AI. No one.

Dude was flawed, maybe tragically, but I will hate to see him go.

With this line up they won 65% of the games. If you ask me there was some rotation problems which usally comes with the coaching staff. after putting RIP on the bench this is what it looks like

Funny isn't it? how did he destroy the pistons when RIP went to the bench they lost more games.. problem was Iverson was replaced by stuckey then moved to SG while RIP was being replaced by prince who couldn't play PF... so they moved him to SF which tore into RIPS minutes.. and caused a hep of ish...

If they would of stuck with the first line up Or took prince out and put Mcdyess on PF and prince on the bench they'd probably be 55/27 sad to say the rotations were all wrong no one is to blame but the coaching staff.

Check all the previous rotations there is no rotations that they went a higher winning % during that time he still avg 20+ points a game.

Re: Iverson to Bobcats in 2009-2010?

The Bobcats should sign him, just because they have never had a player on their team that casual fans would want to see play.

When I first heard the rumor even I (who despises the Bobcats) thought about makin a trip to a game. I'm sure I'm not the only one

Re: Iverson to Bobcats in 2009-2010?

LB might be able to whip him back into shape though but I think this is entirely on AI's shoulders to make the change.

you can give numbers and stuff but to some ppl Iverson is to blame for Pistons demise because THEY KNOW he is , becuase he is Allen Iverson, because he went to jail for sth he didn't do and so on and so on

they won't listen

why even bother with discussing sth off court - they are basketball players, let's judge them for their ON COURT actions

Re: Iverson to Bobcats in 2009-2010?

Yes, Allen Iverson is always to blame, we don't talk about him unless we're talking about him when he was in Jail and doing videos with Carmelo.

Man get out of here with that BS man lol
