How much more succesful would allen iverson be if he had a better team?

Question

not this year. In the past years. I was lookin at a bball card and i saw in 05-06, his stats were CRAZYY. but he wasnt even in the top 10 for MVP.wtf. Philly wasnt even in the playoffs. He averaged 33 pts, 7.4 assists, 1.9 stls, and played 43 minutes a game. While Nash had 18 pts, 10 asts, 0.8 stls and played 35 minutes. nd won MVP.

Isnt it ****** how a persons career success can be jacked by the team they end up in?

And shouldnt the mvp award focus on STATS and how much heart the player plays with rather than the teams success. Nash had Amare, Marion and other good players for help.wtf.Iverson didnt have JACK.

Answer 1

I think only way Iverson wil EVER win is with a big man of dwight howards or elton brand or kevin garnetts abilities but that is it

Answer 2

he woulda been more great than he was there on them past Sixer teams. the Sixers have been notorious 4 having *** teams around star players! anymore remember Barkley wanting out cuz of the dumb trades n s*** Philly was doing giving him bum squads and no chance to win nothing? remember Shawn Bradley going #2 in the draft with players like Penny Hardaway,etc in that draft class? AI at least got 1 MVP under his belt. he been dragging a bum team 4 years out in Philly. all 5'10 of him for so long. dragged them while injured to the finals and the only game they wont cuz he went 4 like 40 something on them. beside him there was never no d**n offense. why you think he always led the league in minutes? keep hI'm on the bench too long and now the game is outta reach! im live in the Sixers area, hated they fact year after year they wouldn't make any moves for this dude to succeed. dumb *** Billy King! and they have they nerve to finally see he sucks at his job after he trades away AI! you know how many sales, tv rights, season tix they lost making that move. they Sixers sucked by fans took comfort in that at least they can come to see a great talent. the best lil scorer ever in the history of the league who could put up better numbers than players a foot bigger lol.

Answer 3

MVP stands for Most Valuable Player.

If a team fails to make the playoffs, how important could a single player really have been?

Answer 4

OK get this straight Allen Iverson has only been averging those numbers because he has never played with another superstar or all star, now that he has melo his scoring has drop. But yea Iverson would have done some damage if he had a team like KOBE did on his championship years

Answer 5

well when u have a all star SF and a great defensive C and a very talented PF thats not enough

Answer 6

Had he been on a better team like the Pistons in place of Billups, he couldve very well had 2 or 3 rings by now. And as far as MVP goes, you have to be on a winning team to even be in the running. That's why Kobe didn't get it last year or the year before.

Answer 7

hey whats up dUdE,

i know i keep stressing on people as to why they are forgetting about allen iverson, he is 33 and i havent seen him slow down like people say he is, his stats are just crazy like you said im soooooo glad to see allen iverson fan it makes me soooo happy because then i know you really know what you are talking about when you say the stuff you have said about him, thats right i agree how iverson or any person career can be jacked up because they have NOBODY on their team to help them, AND CAN'T NOBODY CARRY A TEAM LIKE ALLEN IVERSON DID FOR AS LONG AS HE CARRIED PHILLY, HE PLAYS WITH SOOOOO MUCH HEART and he comes out their and plays ever game like it his last game, and yes had iverson had someone like shaq on his team i promise you iverson would have been wearing kobe's rings right now. thats just like this year he was way better then cp3 in stats and yet he wasnt even in the running for MVP somethings wrong with this picture, i just wonder how allen iverson feels knowing he is one of the best and yet he doesnt have a ring what a shame. but i'm just glad me and you see eye to eye. he the best to me with or without a ring(just give him some HELP PLEASE!!!!)

you should read his book if you havent already it called "only the strong survive" the odyssey of allen iverson" by Larry Platt

and watch his DVD about him "allen iverson the answer" it will make you just like him even more than you already do!!!!!!!!!! i just love it when i see iverson fans thanks for not forgetting about him and reconizing his greatness STILL 12 season later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
