<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Looking to improve their woeful rebounding, the Sixers brought in Moses Malone to give their big men pointers on boxing out and other techniques. Chris Webber was too happy to avail himself of Malone's lessons, but spies report that new Sixer Steven Hunter was a no-show. Hunter's lack of presence on the glass has been a sore point with Iverson, who normally is supportive of teammates. But in this instance, Iverson spent some quality time chewing out Hunter, as surprised teammates looked on. "For Allen, that's really out of character," said one Sixer.</div> <div align="center"> Source</div> That is the only part of the article that relates to this subject. I am a bit surprised by this though Hunter has not been impressive on the boards for the 76ers he played better than expected in the time he started in place of Dalembert in my opinion. I think it?s more about frustration, and the fact that Hunter did not show up for the meeting with Malone, and not anything personal.
^Your right, I can`t remember the last time AI has stepped out and said whatever about a teammate. Players like Dirk are the ones who come out and take shots at a teammate, embarrasing in public. Before you ever criticize your team publicly, you should tell your teammate what is bothering them.
Well, good to see that AI is taking lead of this team verbally in the locker room, but as you all said it is kind of surprising to see it happen. Atleast he didn't take his comments publicly... and that is something that Iverson rarely, if ever, does.
I think this is good. We can't just let Steven Hunter suck at rebounding. We got to let him know about it. I'm glad Iverson said it to his face, maybe that's the only way he can learn.
