The simple fact AI's name has been thrown around every season as someone who will be traded says enough. That wasn't a very smart comment there CB, Iverson is one of the most recognized players in the NBA.

He gets tons of hype from Sports Illustrated, ESPN and other sources that love him for regenerating the Clippers, when really, they dont take into account that Elton Brand really improved, they got Cuttino Mobley and also Shaun Livingston and Chris Kaman improved. Oh yeah, I lost my NBA logic
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>AI actually doesnt get that much attention anymore..He is overshadowed by alot of guards..</div>Yeah, guys like Wade, LeBron, and Kobe are all overshadowing him. You hear a lot more about them than AI,

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (CB4AllStar @ Jul 17 2006, 11:57 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Chris Kaman, Shawn Marion, Mo Peterson, Elton Brand, Andre Miller. Thats all I can think of right now. I had to include atleast 1 Raptor </div>I agree with all but Mo-Pete...I'd also add Jason Terry and Josh Howard (not just because they're mavericks...)
Gerald Wallace- Excellent Shot blocker,gets cookies(steals),good rebounder for his postition only 24 is a future Defensive player of the year.

He shoots, he scores 17 a game, he plays defense, takes charges, hustles, gets loose balls. He brings everything to the table. Also, he is an ironman. He hasnt missed a game since like 2001, I think. That is almost unheard of in sports now adays..

And his defense isnt very good either IMO. Its average. And just for the record, its been 4 years since he has missed a game. Still impressive though

If they had any other good pg they would have done the same things. They're all young except Cassell and Mobley really, and young players do improve as they mature. Mobley also brough offense help. He is a good shooter and scorer, but you never here of him. It's always Cassell. Cassell, Cassell, Cassell. He is in Sports Illustrated articles, internet articles, everywhere. For rejuvenating the Clippers. Yeah right. He helped them out because they needed a leader who could run their offense, but it wasnt just him that made them improve. He didnt turn Chris Kaman into a force underneath the glass. He didnt make him a good defensive Center, finally! It's not like he made all these guys improve as players, magically! They are young, of course they are going to improve as they get more experienced<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (ballerman2112 @ Jul 19 2006, 11:05 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>You make him sound like an All-Star when he is not.

He does alot of things, and atleast he puts his all into defense. He is the best man to man defender on our team, and he has good, solid defense. People don't give him enough credit as a player, that's why I think he is underrated..When people talk about good role players, they never mention him at all. They dont mention him in anything. When in fact, he is a very solid player..

His shooting hasn't been very good for his career. He has never shot 44 percent from the field or above.
His shooting isnt that good? What? He shot .395 from three last season and had the 9th most 3pt makes in the NBA. I know his percentages arent that good, but neither are AI's. It's not that big of a deal..
If Morris Peterson was in Los Angeles or Miami he would be getting a lot of attention for what he can do. The guy can play. Period.

And for a guy that you say is a "good shooter", 42 percent isnt that great. Especially when that is his best percentage throughout his career. And what do you mean percentages don't really matter? So it would be ok if you shot 100 shots and made 20 as long as you got 45 points?

It's not like 44% is terrible. As long as he gets the job done, I dont really care if he only makjes 44% of his shots. That is still pretty good. AI is known to have shot mediocre percentages over his career, so why dwell on this?

You are just saying that he is a "good" shooter, and i am saying that its not that great. And im not really dwelling on it. When you say something back about it, I am allowed to state my opinion. AI is in a different situation than Mo Pete so that is a awful comparison.
