    Iverson also said he can play 6 more seasons.

    I don't know if it's lacking trust more than lacking chemistry. I think a part of their struggles could be that they're still working on adjusting to the way AI plays.

    Basically he's calling Iverson a ball hog and I agree. Did anyone see the 3 on 1 fast break Detroit had with Iverson dribbling the ball up the court with Prince and Rip flying down the wings? Guess what Iverson did with the basketball?

    I can't say that he's wrong either. Iverson is a ballhog. He always has been and always will be. That's why he doesn't fit with this team. I don't care if he gives them a dynamic scorer that they've lacked. They didn't need one. This team succeeded because of their commitment to teamwork and defense, and neither of those are things Iverson has ever been interested in. He's always more interested in getting his own on offense and has never really played the defensive side of the ball.
