The Internet has been going nuts for the past two days with people writing about why Allen Iverson is a good fit in Cleveland with Shaq and LeBron. I thought about this and came to conclusion that this may just be the best situation for Iverson. You see, there are only three or four active players that have had a better career than Allen Iverson. Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, and Tim ...

Allen Iverson: It Wasn’t Supposed To End Like This

Posted: 8th November 2009 by Dwyane Montell in NBA
I YouTubed one of Allen Iverson's 50-point games last night. It was 2004 against the Hawks. I damn near shed a tear. That swagger, the crowd chanting his name, the look on his face saying, "this is nothing." The electricity in the building, the fear in the players guarding him. The quickness, the attitude, the jumper, the crossover. It was amazing, and I remember the days I saw those games on ...

Allen Iverson Leaves the Memphis Grizzlies

Posted: 7th November 2009 by Dwyane Montell in NBA
Memphis Commercial Appeal just reported that guard Allen Iverson has left theáMemphis Grizzliesáfor personal reasons. Iverson went to Atlanta, where he lives in the offseason. Why is he leaving? Does this have something to do with Iverson not playing enough minutes or not starting? He was supposed to start tonight against the Clippers and he was also supposed to meet Grizzlies Owner Michael Heisley today. I think something is going on behind ...

Iverson Was Treated Badly By Detroit and Rip Hamilton Agrees

Posted: 28th October 2009 by Dwyane Montell in NBA
Whoever thought Allen Iverson was lying about the Pistons lying to him was wrong. All season long, haters have been bashing A.I. and blaming him for the Pistons failed season. Some people that hate this guy for all the wrong reasons were saying he can no longer put up the legendary stats he has been putting up his whole career. Teams were afraid to make an offer to Iverson because ...

Vince Carter Has Slowed Down But is Still a Great Player

Posted: 25th October 2009 by Dwyane Montell in NBA
Vince Carter is hated by many people. He does not fall into the Kobe and Iverson hate category but he is very hated. He may just be the third most hated player in the NBA behind Kobe and AI. Vince Carter receives a lot of unfair criticism and is unfairly judged. People wait for him to fail so they can write about it or have something ...
He got injured in training camp, did not play a single preseason game, and just played NBA-paced basketball for the first time in five months. He already does not care about stretching or warming up; he is 34 years old and has taken more hits than any NBA player maybe ever. It was bound to happen. He was bound to suffer an injury that would affect his performance. Could the hamstring ...

Grizzlies Need To Start Allen Iverson

Posted: 14th October 2009 by Dwyane Montell in NBA
The Grizzlies have not been playing to well in preseason. They are 1-3 right now and by the end of the night could potentially be 1-4. Lionel Hollins must not be liking what he is seeing. The Grizzlies are missing that piece. Mayo is not shooting well and Conley is not doing that great either. The Grizzlies need Iverson to start, even if it his first game back from injury. Iverson has ...
Think back to 2007-08 and look at Allen Iverson's stat line: 26.4 ppg, 7.1 apg, 2.2 spg and 46 percent field-goal percentage. He was an All-Star gameástarter and a leader to a team, which won 50 games. Still, one of the 25 greatest players in league historyáand his past career accomplishments are the things players dream of and guys like Dwyane Wade and LeBron James are trying to accomplish. Then imagine ...

Kobe, Duncan, Shaq, Iverson and KG Among Decades Best

Posted: 27th September 2009 by Dwyane Montell in NBA
A couple of days ago Kobe Bryant was named the NBA's player of the decade by Sporting News. In my opinion Kobe is clearly the best player in the past decade. But lets take a look atásome ofáthe best players from the past decade. I compiled a list of the best players from the past decade but I included all of their career accomplishments so some accomplishments are before the decade. ...

Allen Iverson Hasn’t Lost a Step, Just Ask David Stern.

Posted: 19th September 2009 by Dwyane Montell in NBA
Out of all the people in the world you would never think David Stern would be the one to say Allen iverson has a lot left in the tank. But he is absolutely right. David Stern saw that the AI he handed all those MVP awards to was not the AI he saw this year. Michael Curry is fired and maybe one of the reasons this did not work out was ...
