Allen Iverson Appreciation thread

[Big Al All day]

I remember watching him in the playoffs for the first time in 01. I musta been 10 years old and I remember thinking, wow whose that small guy with the arm sleeve that is just going off?

Ever since then I have loved AI. One of the biggest characters, for better or worse, the nba ever had to offer. Unlimited heart and compassion, laid all out on the court every single night. There are so many ways to describe, unfortunately none of them ever transpired into a championship, and I don't think he will ever win one.

[miller-time]

However many fans completely overrate him which is exactly led me to hate on him a bit.

heh.. no you're thinking of the other guy and his fans...

anyway, i liked AI even when he was in georgetown.

great transistion from the old players to the new players.

he's in that middle generation with pierce, francis and kobe. not quite old enough to be in that late 80s early 90s generation, but still came before the lebron and dwade generation.

[Mrofir]

Great player that taught nba fans to look beyond image and appreciate the player\person for who he is. Not everyone learns, but he went a long way.

DONT POST IN THIS THREAD IF YOUR GONNA HATE


This is only for Allen Iverson fans that want to show appreciation.....Personally I love A.I. and he personify's a era of defiance and difference and also dominacne of a little man that currently will never be matched.

So Post whatever things you LIKE about A.I. and whatever positive thoughts you have about him cause lately theres been alot of Answer hate on this board.

he could be the poster child of some of the worst years of NBA basketball, the early 00's.

Best scorer for small NBA players for his generation.

Was outstanding in taking the Sixers to the NBA Finals a few years ago.

BTW, if he decides to change his change and come off of the bench, he'd be great for the Hawks.

2009 Summer - Hawks add Rasheed and AI
2010 Champions - Hawks!

[baseketball4life]

love AI's game, i still think he can put up 27 points per game with a offense built around him none of this retarded team ball piston ball bullsh!t

[KRAYZIE]

One of my favorite player of all time. It's too bad things aren't working out too well for him over in Detroit. I just hope he wins a ring before retiring.

[joma11]

where should AI play next season?
he may want a ring, but he doesn't want to a backup.
there may not be any title contender looking for him.

Some of the more entertaining yrs in my book...I grew up on those times

You must like the goody to shoes/ no personality era of today.....Good job

[MELOgamaniac]

I agree the era of undersized low percentage shoot-first point guard will never be matched/experienced again, although my reasons probly differ from yours as to why we won't see it again. Iverson was the pinnacle of that era, much better and less cancerous than Francis and Marbury could ever hope to be.

This is an appreciation thread, you poor mans humor (sarcasm) is not needed...make your own thread boy

still my favorite poster hawkie



and about AI.. I miss the old days..





one of the greatest ever...

[Lebron23]

I love his performance in the Eastern conference Finals against the Milwaukee Bucks. Prime Ai would have been the best PG/combo guard in today's NBA.
