<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Nitro1118 @ Oct 3 2006, 11:56 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>clangus- AI outlawed the crossover, he brought the street to the NBA, something Hardaway didn't. The NBA even started to officiate games differently with the palming rules. As for the armband, he is referring to the sleeve, not just armband.And AI was moved to PG from the SG spot, not vice versa. That is why his APG has gone up quite a bit in past 2 years.</div>Well, he was first moved from PG to SG (when Larry first came to Philly he moved him), and then once Larry left and Jim O'Brien was hired, they moved him back from SG to PG.

I was unsure when the change occured
Seriously, AI didn't start the hip hop following, trust me...And Tim Hardaway did not start the crossover. That is just whack!

A.I has a good crossover but there are times that he palms the ball and just because the NBA refs don't call it....... doesn't make it a legal move.

And yeah AI's an Icon, but anyone who remembers basketball in the early 80's knows he didn't start the Hip Hop following.</div>PLEASE tell me you know it's Clyde, not "Glyde."But I say Iverson is the better of the two. I will be honest and I will say that I've only seen Drexler play about 12 or 13 times from old games, and I've seen AI play hundreds of times, but an Allen Iverson is rare. I know Clyde Drexler isn't a dime a dozen either, but I love AI. I love his passion, his will, his toughness (pound for pound Allen Iverson is the toughest player I have ever seen step on a court). That's not even saying he's one of the greatest scorers of recent memory and arguably the best player to ever play the game 6'0'' and under. Iverson does everything on the court. He may not be the best role model off the court, but he isn't a bad guy. I don't care what people say about him - he's not a bad guy. He's a good guy and a GREAT player.Allen Iverson > Clyde Drexler

Tough Choice. Clyde carried Portland to 2 NBA Finals in 1990 and 1992. They got to the WCF a couple of times also. Id go with my boy Clyde the Glyde

WTF? who the hell spells Michael "Mychal"? Seems weird but at the end of the day it's still pernounced Michael. Just like "Glyde"
