Re: Guess who already sounds upset in Memphis
You're right. I definitely don't agree with that. However, there is plenty of blame to go around. Iverson has been around a long time. He knows the most effective way to bring about change is through the media. Don't agree with it however.-Rocky Balboa"Maybe I can't win. But to beat me, he's going to have to kill me. And to kill me, he's gonna have to have the heart to stand in front of me. And to do that, he's got to be willing to die himself. I don't know if he's ready to do that."Comment

Re: Guess who already sounds upset in Memphis
Well that is ALL we are trying to say. We are saying it was an IMMATURE decision by a 13 year vet. WHY is he STILL acting this way is the problem we have with him. NOTHING FURTHER.Concrete evidence/videos pleaseComment

Re: Guess who already sounds upset in Memphis
Do you guys not realize that Hollins has said publicly he won't have a private talk with Allen Iverson? He said he has no reason to talk to Allen Iverson. That is even more disrespectful then what Iverson did. A player has an issue and a coach is saying he won't even talk to him about it.
I read the quote earlier where Hollins said he won't have a private talk with Iverson. Then later he says he can talk before or after a game. I can't find that stuff tho..."I think that's probably the worst part of all this," Iverson said after the loss to the Lakers. "That while all this is going on, we have never talked to each other. That's probably why it's at this point right now. We've just never had a conversation, so it's probably going to always be hard for me and him to see eye-to-eye, because we've never even talked to each other. Obviously that's what you do if you're trying to accomplish the same goal."Last edited by o_capone; 11-08-2009, 12:45 AM.Comment

Re: Guess who already sounds upset in Memphis
He's saying that he doesn't need to talk to AI in the context that "there's no problem, why do we need to talk about it?" in an effort to play it off and keep things running smoothly. Not in the context of disrespecting Allen. At least that's how I read it.Comment

Well, I've never followed the Grizzlies, but I have followed the Answer. That's why I'm giving Coach the benefit of the doubt.Comment

Re: Guess who already sounds upset in Memphis
Actually Hollins said his door was always open if AI wanted to come talk to him. He said he talks to him before, during and after the game.
The fact of the matter is Iverson feels disrespected by the world. Lionel Hollins lives in this world therefore Lionel Hollins has disrespected Allen Iverson.
As Mike Smith mentioned on the Clippers broadcast it would be a shame if Iverson doesn't ever play in the NBA again.....he is close to joining Steph Marbury in players who retired/quit to early land.Comment

Re: Guess who already sounds upset in Memphis
..............my post went over your head the second time around too..
The post I was responding to was about Chauncey Billups' decision making compared to Iversons, that was the thing I thought you would have gleaned from it... The 18 seconds thing was a bit of an exaggeration, as was the post I was responding to.
I used to like the guy, too.Comment

Re: Guess who already sounds upset in Memphis
I don't know. Maybe he was just fed up.
I'm not defending Iverson's actions. I'm just agreeing with his motive and logic. The guy has a point.
Who knows? Maybe he wakes up and accepts the fact that he is a sixth man on a contender.-Rocky Balboa"Maybe I can't win. But to beat me, he's going to have to kill me.
