good

Alan Iverson's image of the NBA player was now, is he closer to Michael Jordan or the NBA or is he closer than Allen Iverson or the NBA the way Allen? Now okay, I mean, it's a tough question for me to answer a tough question, you know, to compare the two, I mean, you're talking about a different era, you're talking about a long streak of success, you know, with mature stars. . You have younger players coming in a lot earlier than I'm sure no one expected and he's not as developed as before because of that so I think we have to be very understanding yeah and you know this is the United States this is America everyone has freedom of speech and I don't think we should judge Alan uh for the way he wants to express himself who is your point guard I have to go with I'm going to go with Ai because he wasn't afraid he was like me my thing It was any little guy that came in there I'm going to touch him I'm going to burn him or I'm going to touch him and I'm going to put him to bed but he was the only one besides Gary he was the only one who kept coming back he kept coming back in the year they got to the finals and we killed them, no , he did everything right here, the first pick, the sixers select alan

iverson

in the category of missed opportunities and what ifs and he totally lived.

Up to potential, does Allen Iverson fit in there for any of you here? No, no, I don't think so. He even caught up with him to get out. I don't think there's any guard that size other than Isaiah that's going to have that. career I don't think anyone I think a lot of the guards like Ty Lawson thank Alan Iverson thank guys like Isaiah for saying you know what happens if I have five ten five or even six feet left? I can use my quickness if I have a jump shot use the pick and roll and obviously he said he can be taken down a hundred times and he's recovering yeah that's two I think he maxed out yeah I don't think I don't think he um , you will not do it. look at

allen

iverson

and say he didn't reach his potential, i mean, he was the most valuable player in our league once you knew how to score champions, yeah, so i know there's nothing, uh, if you get more out of it, yeah, an incredible talent, you know, uh, and an incredible cultural impact in 2001, our greatest living American, yes, Allen Iverson won the MVP, making him not only a legend, but the shortest player to win the award six feet tall.

My question to you, Paul Pierce, what was it like competing against the Answer Man? I'm not even going to lie to you, rage, I didn't agree with them, but I knew that I was in situations and pick and rolls where I changed them and I'm not going to lie, I was scared to death because he could play. I could play defense and all that, but I knew I couldn't slide my feet with Alan Iverson because every night when you watched the sports center highlights, he was crossing someone, he was putting someone in the mix, like that.

That all I knew was when I changed. on them I was going to give him that defense olay I was going to lie I was going to let him make his move but I'm going to let him go hopefully I can send him to the baseline because I wasn't trying to slide my feet with that boy I know Allen Iverson is not the king main thing i know not everyone likes him i know his story has been well documented but this is basketball we're talking about everyone needs to go back and watch the highlights that were a poor representation of the highlights no disrespect to anyone , but I'm a fan of the man and a story I have, we have a practice, he's going hard because I don't know what the media's been up to, I'm all this and he's just mad, he's quiet, he doesn't say anything, I'm like, oh Yes, I feel something coming.

Go to Milwaukee. It was the best game I've ever seen from a teammate in my life. He gave 60 some passionate ball doing his thing. It was difficult? Player to play with, he just knows how to score, he just knows how to go hard, but I've never played with a player in my life that played as hard as him on the court, maybe Bobby Jackson, Doug Christie, other guys that play that hard. And a lot of guys I know played as hard, but I've never been around someone who played as hard as him, so when I see him going through all this, you know, I just hope that at the end of the day because all we talk about is basketball he ain't President Obama all we talk about is boop and if you look at him and what he did man you call me another guy with the heart he had every night he used to wear hockey pads you know the ones Whichever way you go, you probably want it too.

Pads surround them. I used to see him after the games broke and all he did was me. Webb. I have to make an effort. Do you know? If they see this on me the first night, this could be it. The first time someone came to see me play it's an honor to see that guy play man I'm proud to say I played Justin Kimbrell said that night he was 54. 54. I lied, I took it, I put a six on it. I played six, it was bad, I just think for a guy his size he was the most intimidating player in the NBA.

I mean, you think about a six-foot, 160-pound guy who was intimidating because physically he had a level of speed that no one had ever seen before. He knew how to kill a crossover, but seeing Webb's point about the athleticism and then the relentless attack mode he was in because that's what made him so tough because some guys that you would play against Rick you know are going to take 16 18 shots a game, you know you're going to have a chance to defend them. Iris will go out and take 35 40 shots. She was in attack mode the entire game and that put tremendous pressure on five guys on defense.

He wasn't just a point guard, I've never seen anyone like him, he's just fearless, that's what I respect most about him, he brought it night after night. You talk about guys who had an attacking mode like Jordan and Kobe, who are always compared, he's on par with them in terms of his aggressive attack with the game, you know, you saw him cry a little when he was talking about this here this year, it was the 2001 2001 NBA Finals, but you know it was We went out and single-handedly led them to that first win in that series and luckily we came back and won that, but you know, when I think about Ai and I think about moving forward with the first team, you know to the Hall of Fame ballot guy and you know we.

We're here aggressively debating where he always stands among the escorts oh go get him rick oh look at that okay look what you're standing at but in every case like you say he'd keep coming he'd get the best of you. somewhere along the way, uh, but he's in a high place, man, you know, Chris, you say top five, uh, guards, uh, definitely, pound for pound, reminds me of Charles Barkley, but yeah, that is what reminds me of the position as to what I was looking at. Like, wait, I was like, well, this is kinda close, you know, I mean Kyrie, I mean, he's got the handles, he finishes, I look at A.I, I'm like, man, he's got big handles, he, I was like, this is a little close, but then when you put it into perspective you know that ai took a team to the finals and they didn't have much george lynch from an offensive standpoint they didn't have much butt

allen

eric snow is your point guard you know and another time like you said Eric Snow is a great defender, but he can't shoot, yeah, you know, and then there's George Lynch, who can't shoot.

They had a group of guys that couldn't do much formatting. Listening, I think when K.D said that, I mean obviously there's a lot of respect for Kyrie and I have a lot of you. I think we all have a lot of respect for Kyrie and his ability to get to the basket and finish the way he does. crazy handles, but no, I mean live in the moment, you know, yeah, don't make me cross this table, I would never do it, okay, thank you, okay, it's better than that ever, because you were building like no, I competed against this, right?

Wait a minute, what did he do in this league when it was tougher, it's more physical, oh hell yeah you put AI in today's game when you can't touch, come on man, he averaged 30 back then right? Imagine what he could do in this league today and you can't touch him and I mean, I'll root for Kyrie against anyone. I have him in great esteem.
