Re: Iverson Traded to Denver...
[ QUOTE ]
the question is, and the question has always been, is he capable of fitting his individual game into a team dynamic that will produce wins? AI supporters have always said he hasnt had any good players alongside him so we can't answer that question, well that wont be an excuse anymore.

I think the trip to the Finals, and the Olympics run that AI had, give some inkling as to how he'll play. I think a lot of people are going to be surprised by how AI adjusts his game in Denver.
I think, especially after the Finals trip and the last few Sixers years, that winning is going to be even more important to him than before. He wants a ring- he's gotten MVP and scoring titles already.
He can be primadonnish, but in the situations that he's been through here, who can blame him (somewhat)? The Sixers haven't been managed well and have tried to trade him multiple times in multiple years... and Iverson puts a premium on loyalty.
I hope he does well- he was always a Philly warrior.
Oh, and to whomever questioned whether he can adjust to the Denver altitude- I'm laughing at you. :P
