did you start watching the NBA yesterday ?

we were in a much worse position like 5 years back. We played guys like Smush Parker and Aaron McKie for 20+ min a game.

I WISH SO BADLY THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN. I just want Iverson to come back one last time, have a decent season and then accept for himself that his career is over. I hate seeing the man so down on himself. He's a great player.

He did break the LeBron to Miami story when everyone else was still speculating.

It wasn't that hard after Wade had that speech to Miami fans.

still better than fisher

[Eric Cartman]

Iverson was turned down by the Guaynabo Mets (Puerto Rican team) so if the Lakers go ahead & sign him i'll wave the white flag on the season.

[The Choken One]

No, but one of them.

Trolololololol.

But seriously...AI is not the answer. Gilbert is the much better, while still not that good, option of the two.

I'd rather Sessions over either.

[Reverend Hoops]

Stephen A. Smith... How can people take him as a credible source?

He predicted the big 3 in Miami when everyone was laughing at him.

[Fudge]

If Iverson wants a ring he'll just do what Kobe says. After all, Kobe obviously knows what it takes to win championships.

Hey, LeBron does too!

Oh wait...

He hosts a f[FONT="Verdana"]u[/FONT]cking radio show. Ofcourse he's going to make absurd predictions in order to get publicity. Much like this one here and the Dwight Howard thing, the Chris Paul thing, the Gilbert Arenas thing, the Chris Bosh thing and all the other f[FONT="Verdana"]u[/FONT]cking things he has predicted for the Lakers and other teams.

All the Lakers really need is a PG who can at least resemble some sort of defense. DFish is way too old to slow down anybody. Iverson is in his 30's as well, so he's now longer that quick guy who used to give opposing defenses headaches. That being said, I'm not sure if this story is credible or not, since last we heard from Iverson last year, was that he was willing to play in the NBA. But it seemed like he still wanted starter minutes. Since we all know he proudly said at one point that he's not going to ride anybody's bench to a title. Not sure if he has a choice right now. As long as he can play decent enough to take ballhandling duties off Kobe, and provide some kind of consistent offense, I have no problem with it.

Why not?
