    What the hell are you smoking?

    AI is overrated because he doesn't have a ring. Well then, there goes a majority of the NBA. I guess Malone and Stockton are overrated. Barkley must be too.

    The only reason the 76ers stood a chance in the finals was the one man show of Allen Iverson. Id hate to venture a guess as to where they'd be without him for an entire season. Make no mistake, Iverson is as gutsy as they come. He plays on heart, which more than makes up for any lack of size. Watch the Lakers/76ers finals......and tell me how the 76ers got there.</div>

    WE FINALLY AGREE ON SOMETHING!! HAHAHA

    LMAO

    I don't know about that, I think if they wanted to rig it they would have found a better place than Cleveland, a punching bag favorite of the league.

    The refs were terrible in that Buck/Sixer series, and I fully believe that the Bucks got hosed because the calls were so terrible. I refused to watch a game after that series.

    Back to the point though, AI is not overrated.

    Vintage who do you agree with james or the other guy. You Jsut said how crooked the nba is and yet you ride ai. Look I am not downing Ai as a player an individual he's great. But form the stats and stuff that got him to the playoffs didnt win him a ring. The game is a team sport no one can win by themselves. Kevin Garnet couldn't last year. And shaq couldn't when he was with the Magic.

    I don't actually believe the lottery is rigged. My point was that the lottery riggin rumors as as true as the referees advancing Philidelphia.

    The Sacramento/Los Angelas series two years ago saw some horrible officiating. But Sacramento has only themselves to blame. They had plenty of chances to win it on their own. But they blew it. Same applied for Milwaukee. Referees are not an excuse for a loss. It only is if you make it one. Had Milwaukee or Sacramento taken care of their business, they wouldn't have been in that type of situation.

    I agree with 'the other guy.'

    As for the NBA being rigged, I was being sarcastic. Read the above post for clarification.

    AI didn't win a ring. But he got them there. And he gave them a chance. Despite Phili being outmanned, Phili stood a chance because of AI, not in spite of him. There is only so much a one player can do by himself.

    Even MJ didn't win until Pippen came along. If AI ever had someone of that caliber alongside him, I think we'd be seeing a different situation, and all of this would be moot. Unfortunetly, he doesn't. And its not his fault.

    You are saying you cannot win alone, and that its a team sport. If thats true, then how can you say AI is overrated bec. he hasn't won anything? He hasn't had a sidekick of Kobe's/Shaq's caliber.

    Does this mean that AI and KG is overrated because they doesn't have a ring??? I define a player with or without a ring based on his skill. So this would mean that T-Mac is a fake too? Paul Pierce? All overrated in your eyes but to me these are the next great players to carry the torch for the NBA.

    You don't get it do you.

    Just because AI doesn't have a ring, that doesn't mean he is overrated.

    Can you comprehend this? You said AI is overrated because he doesn't havr a ring..... IF THAT IS TRUE, that means those players I listed are overrated(by your standards, not mine) because they don't have rings.

    Its called reading comprehension.

    Like 2+2= ?

    The answer isn't given, but you can figure it by applying your knowledge. I apologize for overestimating your comprehension. Next time, I shall spell it out plainly.


    Edit: Courtvision's post makes perfect sense. You said, "AI is overrated until he gets a diamond."

    KG doesn't have a ring. Is he overrated?

    Wow.

    I can spell. I was trying to put it in 'words' that your friend could understand.


    Your posts make little sense. They are trash. How's that for brown- nosing?



    I am trying to get you to see your own logic. But you seem incapable of doing so. Can you not understand what I am trying to say?

    YOUR OWN WORDS: AI is overrated until he gets a diamond.

    Meaning: AI is overrated because he hasn't gotten a diamond.

    Parallel Meaning: Players without rings are overrated.

    Applying Knowledge: I listed player w/o rings, whom you think are overrated because they don't have rings.....I used your own thoughts on that.
