Default Re: 2006 - 2007 NBA Season Discussion Thread

Not sure if there are any Nuggets fans here, but this has to be the worst AI column I've thus far:

This guy comes off like an old grandpa.

Iverson is just too seriously peculiar for comfort, like the nutty uncle at the picnic. You try to keep him away from the folks you have to do business with during the week.

[ QUOTE ]
Following the truism that one great player is not enough, other good and some great players were added to Iverson in Philadelphia. He managed not to make anyone of them - the most recent example being Chris Webber - better. In fact, he made them worse.


[/ QUOTE ]

That last quote is just really, really bad journalism. Even the most casual of NBA fans can tell you that C-Webb was washed before putting on a sixers uniform. He makes it sound like AI is the reason for demise, rather than his glass knees.

If you want to have a no-on-AI stance, fine.. but at least put a little effort in and come up with something original.
