Oh Allen Iverson is back and ready show we can still play. After a short stint with Memphis A.I. is back where he was an All Stare and MVP in the 2001 finals, Philadelphia. Is he going to practice? Because practice makes perfect and A.I. needs practice at his old age. The past few years A.I. has been a bit of a drama queen and a diva. He has become person who does not take team first, rather it is him first. The 76’s took him in not to win a championship, but to sell tickets. I understand why the 76ers did this but once he starts opening his mouth all will go down hill. He will have some short of problem and he will go public with it and it will be Detroit and Memphis all over again. I think it is time for A.I. to retire and just enjoy his time off. He is not that go to man any more he will not be able to bring a championship on his own. If he ever wants to win a championship he has to become a role player and I do not think he can expect that role at all. Like I said before he is all about himself and not the team aspect of things. It will only be a matter of time before the 6er fans start to leave the seats empty. There is only a certain amount of time A.I. has to capture the fans and he better start now.
Sadly, I completely disagree. A.I mad himself in Phily, so how fitting is it to retire there? I also believe fans of the 6ers aren't expecting Iverson to bring home a championship or bring them back but rather they are very excited to have that star back home. A.I. didn't look like A.I. in a Pistons uniform or even a Grizzlies uniform and although the Sixers changed there uniforms/colors, it looked right to see him back home. I'm looking forward to watching him back in Phily and wish him the best.
ReplyDeleteYeah it will be fun to watch him play,but he is becoming a person who is trying to do it by himself. He was a baby when he came off the bench and was not a team player. He should have been a better leader in Detroit and Memphis and made those PGs better. But he wanted to be a star! Well newsflash his time has past.
ReplyDeleteSee personally I think A.I. still can play at a high level, but he needs to accept coming off the bench. He should have waited to come back with a championship calibar team like the Lakers,Cavs,Celtics,Spurs, or Magic. The only reason I say he should come off the bench is because it will make him the man of the 2nd unit, giving him majority of the shots. I hated to see teams do one of the best 50 players ever like this but he kinda forced his hand.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that you used the terms "drama queen" and "diva" since I believe they have gendered connotations.
