    Hey what's up...

    There's been some interest in AI recently and I'm wondering whether AI for Allen or AI for Kobe would be worth doing. Who's better this year...Kobe or Allen? Obviously the bump in 3s from Allen is nice and Kobe is well, Kobe, but losing the assists would kind of be bammer...any thoughts?


    Plus what are your thoughts on Wilcox for LaFrentz? Both seem good to me, with potential upside, however injuries are a concern for Raef, and Wilcox is still kind of an enigma for me, don't know what to expect in the future.

    Current Roster:
    Billups,McInnis,Boykins,Armstrong
    Iverson,Jones,Hughes,M.Daniels
    Brand,Garnett,Bosh,Wilcox
    IL: M.James

    Kobe is better than Allen Iverson because he can drop 40 points any given night. He leads the league in points and is a great player. Ray Allen is about the same as Iverson because he scores a lot and makes many three-pointers. Iverson can score and dish out the assits so I wouldn't do Allen for Iverson but I would do Kobe for Iverson. Also, your team looks really good with Billups, KG, Iverson, Brand and Bosh. Nice job.

    I gotta disagree, i say ray allen is better then AI and kobe. ray shoots a better fg% and ft% then both of them and hits the 3 like crazy. still he gets a decent amount of rebounds, assists, steals. ray does a better job with turnovers too then both of the other stars. if i were you i would try to get ray allen. it's up to you at the end.

    pineapples are pretty good, but mangos man they still are number one..

    Kobe is not shooting well this year. I'd take Ray over both of them when it comes to fantasy ball.

    Fantasy ball is all about efficiency. Kobe and AI just don't have the efficiency. Sure they may be more valuable to their teams than Allen is, but they are not better fantasy picks. If Mike James is on the injured list, pick up Maurice Williams from the Bucks if you need assists. His shooting percentage isnt that great but he is averaging almost 9 assists per game. That is more than Iverson or Kobe. In my opinion, Iverson is going to be the death of your fantasy team so try to get Ray Allen if the other person will do it.

    Kobes my man but when it comes to fantasy he can be a nightmare on FG%. Allen has hit alot more 3's and is less T.O. prone. Go with him

    A.I and Kobe handle the ball too much and have high turnover ratio and they take so many shots their FG% goes way down.
