Is Iverson a cancer to teams????

Question

If that Kobrick Bryant guy says sumethin stupid to this one than im gonna report that dumbass. Anyways, the way Iverson plays, he will never take a backseat to another star, nor will he sacrifice anything to win a championship. I think the guy is amazing but I can't stand him complaining to the refs every freakin time he has the ball and he is one of the biggest actors i have ever seen.

Answer 1

yea, but i blame larry brown for making him into a sg, and relying a lot of the scoring load on him.  well its partly ai getting old and not being able to score like he used to.

hes played as a pure scorer for so long, that its in his blood to play that way, its hard for him to try to play the point guard role.

its his instinct to try to play one on one basketball when things get tight.  thats how he killed teams in the early 2000s.

i think he should push for a trade to chicago, where they desperate need a scorer.  that team is a better team than the philly team he went to the finals with.

Answer 2

He is not a cancer but more of a hindrace and a weight to over come when developing rookies. But i don't put all the blame on him. Philly should have made him behave and not kiss his *** when he was there. it is horrible that you let a guy get away with so much and sign his pay check at the end of the day. he took shots that had no chance of going in, made comments that hurt the team morale, never learned how to pass to a post player. If you look people defend him saying he never had the help on his team.  Tim Duncan is the best example for what AI should have been

1 he was drafted number 1 on a lottery

2 never had a lottery pick since 96 because he helped

developing rookie  players who were picked after the 13th pick get a feel of the league

3 won 4 championships by sacrificing for the good of the team

4. Took responsinility and gave leadership.

If AI would have done that he would have won at lest 2 rings in philly. its funny how after they trade him philly gets better by just using team work.

Answer 3

He's more like AIDS.  People don't die from AIDS but from disease they can't fight off because of AIDS.  Iverson is exactly like AIDS in that respect because he doesn't destroy his teams but all the extra baggage he brings usually tears the team down.

Answer 4

History proves that he is!
