<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Wave:</div><div class="quote_post">You are just falling victim to the media. </div> Thats ironic... if that was true... Id be Tim Duncan 24/7. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Wave:</div><div class="quote_post"> The media wants to portray Allen Iverson as one of the greatest players in the league, but he doesn't get the job done like Ginobili does. Ginobili is one of the five most efficient players in the league (Yahoo.Com) and Iverson doesn't even come close to touching that. </div> More irony... my favorite player tops the EFFIENCENTY ranking list EVERY SINGLE YEAR. So dont accuse me of stuff that isnt true. I agree... Giniboili is very effiecient for what he does. But remember Iverson is pretty much by himself and carries more than twice the load than Giniboili. Remember LA @ SA. Spurs without Duncan. Ginboili had an inspiring game... He missed TONS and TONS of shots but he lead his team with INTANGIBLES... even though his shooting night was bad. Something Iverson does night in and night out. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Wave:</div><div class="quote_post"> You can cry to me about intangibles and leadership all day, but you need to be able to think for yourself. Just because you've heard that Allen Iverson is a top ten player over and over again doesn't mean that you have to feel that way too. </div> Think for myself? Dont feed me this... when have I ever been in the middle of the crowd arguing on the same side as everyone else. You know that is pure BS. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Wave:</div><div class="quote_post">About the bold part, I am not "a high of 5x5s". I just value an all-around game that gets the job done over a one-dimensional one that doesn't get the job done.</div> 3 Words to justify why I agree. Garnett, Garnett, Garnett.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Sandman:</div><div class="quote_post">Manu is still young too, I think he can be better than Iverson in the future. Manu has been a top 7 fantasy player all season long, even being number one for a short amount of time.</div> Being in the top 7 in fantasy production does not make a top 7 player in the NBA. Brad Miller is ranked #18 in Yahoo. Jason Williams & Doug Christie are ranked #99 & #100 respectively. At the end of the day, Manu can't carry AI's jock from the baseline to the basket. Nor will he ever, especially on the measurement of guts and grit.

Iverson's fine on a team where he is getting 25 shots a night, but on a well balanced team then Manu's intangibles and all round game may be more valuable.
I'm surprised Hakeem never accomplished a 5x5. AK47 is having his breakout season, but he won't receive any All Star talk until he can do it for another season. He's definately producing with his additional minutes and is quickly becoming the go to guy in Utah. I'd like to see him land at least on the 2nd team All Defense this year.
