If you yourself were playing, which superstar level player of all time do you think you would you LEAST want to play with or have on your team? Which would you most like to have? Who's style of play would deter your game the most-- or would you get along with the least on the court. And then look at the opposite side of that question. Who's game do you appreciate the most from an inside view as a fellow teammate--- who's game unnerves you the most from the teammates perspective?
r u trying to fish for a kobe answer? i'd have to say sheed, all he does is shoot threes, its annoying. for the flip to that question, i'd obviously go with KG. the guy does everything, and could care less who's getting the glory, shots, touches, whatever.
I would hate playing with Allen Iverson. Everyone he plays with have lower stats while on his team because he is always the main scorer and takes a lot of shots per game even since his days with Georgetown. If you looking to get a big contract, having low stats could kill your chance to have a big payday. If I had to choose someone to play with, it would probably be Steve Nash because he always sets his teamates up for easy baskets and averages over 10 assists per game. Jason Kidd would be another player I'd love to play with. All of the unselfish point guards be my choice.
I would say Iverson because he is hard to build around and I would hate to play with Kobe because he would shoot too much and ballhog.

If I was on a team I would want to get mine just as much as the next guy, and Big O always made sure to get everyone involved. In my opinion the best point guard in NBA history. The superstar I would least like to play with would probably have been Steve Francis. Although, I love Francis as a player, no matter what people say, he dominates the ball to much, and unlike AI does not have the same will to win.

Yeah if it's all time I gotta go with Oscar Robertson or Magic Johnson.
I'd have to go with Shaq, simply because I dislike his game and the way he does his business on a very fundamental, even somewhat emotional level.
I'd hate to play alongside Wilt Chamberlain for obvious reasons. Magic would be the player I'd want to play beside. Bring SHOWTIME back to LA!
Allen Iverson. Honestly, if I'm a young player coming into the NBA and I know my development will be stumped (costing me millions of dollars down the road) because I won't be getting the 10-15 shots I need to develop then I'll request a trade. If he was winning it would be a different story. But if I pair up with Iverson I'm looking at the most 20 touches a game. Bottom line is that the ball would be A.I.'s hands way too much. As for a player I'd love to play for, how can you go wrong with Steve Nash. Going into a game knowing that this point guard will put me in the best position to score has to sit well.
This thread is a perfect example why to trade Iverson for all you Iverson fans out there. People who aren't even on his team said that he's the player in the league that they would least like to play with. Imagine what his teammates think...
i wouldnt mind playing with ai. he would make your job much easier. all you would have to do is play d, and hit open shots. plus it is not like he is a dick to people. that i've seen anyway.
I'm suprised nobody has mentioned Scottie Pippen or Russell --- you're talkin about NBA all-time defensive team performers and guys who sacrifice to "WIN"- but who cares about that
