    Iverson has been in the league for 10 years i think he deserves a Championship for all his hard work....all other players who has won a title has had atleast one helper...magic-chamberlin...russel-bird-cousy...jordan-pippen...kobe-shaq....iverson-?..i thank dat if no bady is traded to help him out he needs to ask to be traded leave some feed

    Does he deserve to win a ring? Absolutely. Will he win a ring? Probably not, unfortunately. He's the kind of guy who won't demand a trade. He's made it clear that he does not want to be traded, and that he wants to stay a Sixer for the rest of his career.

    Whether that actually happens is another story, because the Sixers were/are looking at possibly moving him.

    Nobody deserves to win a championship unless their team beats 4 other teams in the playoffs. Iverson isn't owed anything. He hasn't been surrounded by the best teams? Well, tough luck. Thats just how the league works.

    What's the criteria for "deserving to win a championship"?

    He's a great player, certainly, but he's also notoriously difficult to coach and doesn't practice well. For most of his career (before the last couple seasons), I felt he was a very over-rated player. And it's still unclear if he's capable of playing effectively in a system where doesn't have the ball in his hands 85% of the time.

    What do you mean he deserves to win a championship?

    Oh, he's been a good player for 10 years in the league, but has never been surrounded by the talent to win. Let's just give him a championship? That'll be ridiculous. Allen Iverson has all the money he wants, think he'd give it all for a championship?

    Kevin Garnett and Allen Iverson are 2 of the hardest workers and both deserve a ring.

    Nobody deserves a ring! you earn a ring. jordan didn't deserve rings he went out and got them. the same with every other chamipionship player. So no they don't deserve rings, they need to get them themselves.

    Exactly, why would anyone deserve one as if it's owed to you? I mean it sucks if you don't win one, but too bad so sad.

    Yes, Allen definitely deserves a ring. I mean he's been one of the best players in the league for a decade. He goes out every night and gives it his all. He only trails MJ and Wilt in all time scoring average, that's a pretty good player right there. I hope he does get one before his career ends, unfortunately he probably won't.

    Does he deserve a ring? Of course. I love watching AI play because he plays with so much vigor and heart. It seems like he gives everything he has every possession.

    Will he get a championship? No. The 76ers are in a rebuilding phase. They need their young players like Dalembert and Andre Iguodala to develop into the stars they are. Iverson is probably too old now to win a championship unless the 76ers work up a good trade.

    What about respect? Just your opinion I guess.

    I think AI, KG, Ray Allen, and especially T-Mac deserve rings.

    deserve - to be worthy of

    They are all players that are of sufficient worth to get that ring. They have shown us they can wil (T-Mac never choked, look at his stats in the playoffs, 30/7/6 in 25 playoff performances...8 points higher than his career average, hardly choking)

    Just because they deserve rings doesn't mean they should be given one. Each one is well capable of earning one, but there is no I in TEAM now is their?

    well, AI definetly deserves a ring. many have used his inability to be coached as a reason he does not deserve a ring. but remember, that was before, and now he has grown up before our eyes. i definetly think this man deserves a ring. he is one of the hardest workers to ever play in the nba. he comes out everyday and gives it his 110%. although the media has been hard on him at times, he never expressed his hate towards the organization, and has always remained loyal to the sixers even with tons of trade rumors floating around. so, does he deserve a ring? definetly. but so do guys like karl malone, john stockton and reggie miller. plus many that i just havent named. all in all, life isnt fair, and you dont always get what you deserve.

    Vince, Paul Pierce, KG, and AI are the best players without rings in the NBA.

    I'd take LeBron and Wade over any of them.

    Yes. And I think that team has started to take root and will be a tough contender for the East Conference next year.
