<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">AUBURN HILLS, Mich. ? The fan base for point guard Rafer Alston continues to grow. Friday night, he found one on the opposite bench when the Heat faced the Detroit Pistons at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Pistons coach Larry Brown acknowledged he had considered signing Alston while coach of the 76ers. "I've tried to get him the last three years," he said, with a push made by assistant coach Mike Woodson. "Woody liked him. That was one of the main reasons we tried."</div> More here. Could you image if the Sixers actually got Skip, they would have had the best ball handling back court in the league .
That would have been nice, i've always liked Alston since he came to Toronto, it's all Grunwald's fault we did not sign him
I would have been the best sixers fan ever if they had skip. AI and Skip can you imagine that? breakin some ankles every single game.
I have always like Skip and have loved him ever since we got him.He has been a great aquistion.I cant forget the time he hit the three at the buzzer against Dallas.He is becoming a high name in the NBA.I know he isnt a star but he gives you husstle,hard work,and heart every night.He can score when you neeed him to and can set up his teamates as well.
I'm really proud of skip to my lou. Just goes to show you where hardwork, dedication, and humbleness can get you. Really, really far.
AI and Skip have the sickest handles in the league but neither one is allowed to use them as effectively as they'd like.
Yeah that would've have been nice for the Sixers!Thats exactly what Rafer wants to hear while coming up in the leauge compliments from a hall of fame coach.
I really like Alston, he's really gone past the curse and become a pretty good player. He's not selfish although he does not pass too well, which is both a good thing and a bad thing, his offense is amazing, his three point shot this season is simply ecstatic and he just plain works hard. It took him awhile, but in the longrun he'll become even better, someone with his streetsmarts, talent and potential undeniably deserves praise and props, especially once he improves and is at the peak of his game.

I've always liked Skip. Props to him and his work.Too bad the Raptors passed up on him.(**** Peddie), Now Miami gets the benefits. Now, when the sizers get skip, they get AO from the D league, and then you've got a sick back court.
Skip is really getting crazy love now. It should give other And1 players more hope to make it and work harder on their games.
Skip did pretty good in T.Dot. Grunwuld's a crummy GM though, so it's good for us Now we got him and paired with D-Wade the next A.I so I guess it's all good.
It wasn't Grunwald, it was the president Richard Peddie that didn't allow Skip to return, he didn't want a guy that all he did was turnover the ball
