<div class="quote_poster">Best Kept Secret Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">When exactly did Richard Hamilton play for the 76ers? Do you mean Larry Hughes?</div> RIP played for them during his rookie season I believe. Larry Hughes did also play. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Best Kept Secret:</div><div class="quote_post">Francis and Allen Iverson were never comparable...</div> Thank you. Sure Francis was a good player and an All-Star, but AI towers over Francis even during Franchise's prime. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Pakman:</div><div class="quote_post">My whole point was .. Iverson is not as an easy person to team up with as other PG's out there. Example being Jason Kidd, Steve Nash... When they get other scorers on the court like Amare, Marion, Vince... they know what they gotta do. But Iverson... always a ballhog. EXCEPT for the All-star games.</div> Well, Webber still gets his 20ppg. AI Jr. (Andre) is still developing into a deadly scorer, Korver is more of a specialty scorer(3s), S.Dalembert doesn't really score much, but I see Rodney Carney getting his points and AI averaging 27ppg with 7.6-8apg.
<font size=""6""><u>A ball hog</u></font> is when you pass up open teammates, when your FG% doesn't justify your FGAs, and/or when you take bad shots more than often..
<div class="quote_poster">durvasa Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Maybe not, but I do think Arenas has the distinction of perhaps taking the worst shot in NBA history. Game 5 against the Cavs last year. LeBron scores, and the Wizards have a timeout left (correct me if I'm wrong). What does Arenas do? Take the inbounds pass and lofts up an 80 footer. I couldn't believe it when I saw it, and surprisingly the commentators didn't make a big deal out of it. Perhaps I'm missing something.</div> "The Wizards still had two timeouts left, but failed to call one after James' basket." It wasn't just Arenas though, it was the person that inbounded the ball, I can't remember who it was, but JJ and Caron were fouled out, so it wasn't them. There was like less than 1 second left, so if he called a timeout even, they would've had to do one of those alley-oop lobs. We all wondered about the not calling timeout for a while.

<div class="quote_poster">Pballa Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">When?</div> In Sacramento he jacked up a lot of iffy shots instead of feeding Webber (back when he was a very good player).
<div class="quote_poster">Avery Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Watch the 05 NBA Playoffs(Miami). Case Closed.</div> So are you saying that Wade was a ballhog in the Finals against Dallas?
We're talking about those players, who are ballhogs at the moment. Not what they were about 4 years ago !? 1. Allen Iverson 2. Kobe Bryant 3. Steve Francis 4. Mike James 5. Carmelo Anthony
<div class="quote_poster">CLos Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">So are you saying that Wade was a ballhog in the Finals against Dallas?</div> No Dooling in the 05 playoffs he means.
<div class="quote_poster">XSV Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">No Dooling in the 05 playoffs he means.</div> I know what he means. That's why I gave that example of Wade.
