<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Eric Snow is close personally and professionally with Allen Iverson, and he has played for George Karl, which puts him in a interesting position to provide perspective on the trade that rocked the NBA on Tuesday. The Cavaliers' captain gave the Denver Nuggets' acquisition an unadulterated thumbs up. ``I think knowing George Karl, knowing Allen, and knowing enough about Carmelo (Anthony), they're in the right place with the right style,'' Snow said Wednesday. ``They're two very talented players, that's undeniable. You put them on the same team with a coach that is a little more lenient than some others, and I think it is going to work.'' Snow has always defended Iverson over the years, especially the reputation that he's a handful to deal with. The two were backcourt mates in Philadelphia for seven years and helped the 76ers reach the Finals in 2001. ``Once (the media) marks someone, (the media) doesn't let it go,'' Snow said. ``Everybody's got vices; his seemed to be flared up more than others. But it was the same guy that got to the NBA Finals and is one of the toughest players in this league. What he did in Philadelphia doesn't matter; it's a clean slate.''</div> Source
