Answer 1

u can tell from how many shots he has taken and how many TO he gets in a game..

if he can still manage to shoot that many shots while producing 7 assists a game...guess how much time he has control with the ball in a single game..

ballhawg without a question

Answer 2

You need to open your ears if you've never heard anybody talk about Kobe being a ballhog.  That being said, all you have to do is watch one Nuggets game to realize how much of a ballhog AI really is.  And those 7 assists are all to Mello. But i'm not hating on the kid, somebody has to score on that terrible team, especially now since they lost Camby.  He better be an even bigger ballhog this year if they want to be in contention.

Answer 3

He's not so bad anymore...

But in his early 76er days, dude used to shoot and MISS all day long.

A.I. averages 22.6 shots per game for his career, do you know how many he makes...9.6!!!...if your taking 23 shots a game you should be good for at least 11 or 12, if your a dominant scorer.

But that was then, A.I. has become much more efficient now.

Answer 4

Allen Iverson is not ballhog, period. He is a great player, that has a potential to become both a scorer and a passer for his team, which most of you have already seen with the Denver Nuggets. People just call Iverson a ballhog for the wrong reasons: his teams inconsistency in the playoffs, his a great scorer, and because of his past problems with the Philadelphia 76ers.

This can also be seen in Kobe Bryant, he takes over games in which he sees his teammates are cold from the floor. But if their hot (making consecutive shots, etc.), he takes over with his passing skills, which i think Allen Iverson does as well.

Answer 5

Nah, i dont think he's a ball hog he's good  

Answer 6

i think hes kinda a ballhog for a point guard. if he was like  chris paul or jason kidd, denver could probably been on the top 5 in the west.

and LOL u really never hear anyone said kobe is a ball hog. kobe is my favorite player but i HEARD AND SEE people talking about him being a ballhog especially here in yahoo answers. i see a post about him in every page.

Answer 7

Yeah! But Kobe's had a bigger legacy, it looks bad when you take alot of shots and your team is getting worst and worst every year. Nuggets might not even make the playoffs this year!!!
