Is AI Done?
I’ve said this probably 100 times but Allen Iverson is easily one of the most talented basketball players the world has ever seen. How many players at 6*0 and 170 pounds can do what he did in the league? Imagine if Iverson were 6*6. If Iverson were 6*6 he would have been considered one of the top 3 players ever based on skills alone. He was always guarded by bigger, taller and stronger opponents and it didn’t slow him down. He played hurt and led his teams to a lot of wins based on his will and effort alone. I have a great respect for him as a talented player.
Is he done? Have we seen the last of this guy? I hope not because I still think he has a lot to offer and you can’t tell me that he wouldn’t still score 25 a game on the right team. I’d love to see him in New York but now that looks like it might not happen. Memphis was a good fit on paper but that’s about it. I’ll tell you what though, Iverson is better than Mike Conley, Tinsley and Marcus Williams. Where does he go? He can’t play for Larry Brown again I’m sure. He isn’t really needed in a lot of settings or rather teams aren’t willing to play Iverson and risk the chemistry of the team or a young player not getting time.
If we have seen the last of Iverson then I’m proud to say I got to watch him play because he’s one of the best ever to dribble and shoot a ball.
