    Ok, I actually will appreciate him.

    Iverson had great intangibles, including hustle, heart and toughness. I was never a fan of his real game, because I knew in the future it wouldn't get him anywhere. However many fans completely overrate him which is exactly led me to hate on him a bit.

    I liked him when he said he didn't have to repsect anyone, referring to MJ

    Helped Denver make the playoffs the last 2.5 years before this one.

    One of the best scorers ever pound for pound.

    iTruWarrior=Idiot....GTF outta my thread...neway.......Iverson always brings his heart in the game which is something you can never discredit.

    Scoring beast , and a fast break monster...loved him when he was athletic and dunking on people, admired his cross over and one of the best pound for pound players to hit this league.

    He gets alot of hate for his style of play...but honestly if it wasnt for his style of play he would not be as great as he is

    The league would be so boring without AI. Everyone would be trying to copy MJ or Shaq or someother Superstar.

    We already have tons of that in the league

    The wannabe Shaq is Dwight Howard

    The wannabe of Jordan is every single player at the wing position.

    That's why the league is not as good as the 90's and 80's. No one tried impersonating anyone.

    Great scorer. Prob the best little man SG ever. I find it sad people go as far as call him the Cancer, when he put a city on his back and carried them to a finals. People have such a short memory.

    No I don't think so. Petty superficial fad following "fans" (99.9% of this forum) have short memory.

    But actual NBA heads don't.


    I wouldn't never say anything bad about Iverson based on his last few seasons.

    He's status is solidified as far as I'm concerned.

    one of the best players pound for pound, id go as far as to say he's a reincarnation of isiah thomas but i never saw isiah play much

    iverson has taken A LOT of beating over the years, and for a little guy who may or may not practice as much as he could/should he's got a great natural gift.

    seriously, here's a guy who takes the summer off and then comes back in november to run circles around whoever he plays with, who can do that being 5'11"?
