Used to play loads of basketball back in school, but outside of school there was nowhere to play it and not many people to play it with, so I haven't properly been able to do it for about 4 years!
Are Sky covering the games this season?

Rondo problem child tbh


Just terrible journalism tbh - too many 'unnamed sources' saying the C's need a mentor for Rondo

Probably did 3 years ago but now going to announce it.

I loved AI haha, his practice rant was absolutely unbelievable. Off the court he was a douche but on the court he left it all on there.

Guys a bit coocoo. Although credit to him he did start a revolution. Everyone was wearing Iverson jerseys and bands and tattoos etc

Dunno why he was so against practice. Given todays PGs, I think Iverson would have a tough time. Not sure who was there against him during his time.

He started the whole hip hop revolution haha. He is the reason there's a dress code now In the NBA :rofl:

Gary Payton, Mike Bibby(Yes there was a time he didn't suck), Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, Chauncy Billups, Gilbert Arenas, Sam Cassell. But yeah there are more PG's. I dunno I think he would be okay. His game was blowing by players and driving to the hoop as well as throwing up some poor shots haha. There were more quality Centres to stop him back then as well :tongue:

Payton was on the decline
Bibby was there I'll give you that
Kidd rose up after Iverson
Nash was after him
Billups after him
Arenas way after him (I'd pick him over Iverson tbh)
Sam Cassell wasn't THAT good

This era has probably the most PGs ever. He maybe alright but it's be really tough for him. Iverson shot pretty poorly. As for quality centres, I can only think of Shaws name. Kwame brown doesn't count

Yeah there definitely weren't as good PG's back in the early 2000's but I still think Iverson would be okay. Iverson was good right up until around 2005ish I think.


Had , Shaq, Tim Duncan, Ben Wallace, Yao (when he was healthy), Miller, Mourning, Mutumbo. Hell even Ilgauskus was pretty good haha

I think the best offer he had was D-League with whoever the Mavs team in there is

No need was going to give him a starting role or even a secondary one tbh. The d-league was his best bet considering hes been out for 4-5 years...

Iverson was the biggest athlete, he really did all this to himself. During his time he was one of the biggest, if not the biggest endorsements

He didn't really play PG.
