that suit. A.I. should be excluded from the suit rule. The casual clothes he wears are better than the dress clothes he buys from the big & tall section.
......its enablers like this that fed that ego monster until it ran his career into the ground. people kill me with this attitude towards AI. AI MADE HIS BED, now its time to lay in it.
...AI has been given shot.......after shot......after shot, while continuing to SLAP the hand away of those giving him that shot, yet you continue to have this peanut crowd of followers saying he deserves another shot.
......let me ask you, how many shot is AI supposed to get? is it infinite? forever? just because he's AI?
....funny thing is this claim:
A. Allowed to retire as an NBA player
B. Allowed to retire as a Sixer
.....when AI landed back in Philly, it was looked at as just that. the team allowing him to retire with dignity, as a Sixer, and as a NBA Player. right? Right?
...but what happened? oh.
...but that matters not huh? just give him another shot.
...i bet he was blackballed, and he earned every bit of it.

everything seasoned vet said is 100% true.
he doesn't deserve a 4th or 5th chance simply because he's Allen Iverson when he blew off chance after chance after chance in the past.
if you bite the hand that feeds you then you deserve to be thrown out into the cold, and if Iverson hasn't seen the writing on the wall by now then he probably never will.
it's a damn shame too because if he really wanted to see the bigger picture and grow up, he could probably be serivceable for 2-3 seasons. hell if derek fisher is starting still and there's so many other bum dudes in the league, IF Iverson put pride and ego aside he would be able to finish his career on his terms.
sadly his track record indicates his ego wouldn't allow him to make that transition and it's a shame. given his attitude issues, problems with pracitce and every other problem he's had there's no way in hell he should be given anything.
if he wants back in the NBA he should take whatever d league team takes him as there's been reports he's willing to play for a minor league nba team and when he's on that team he needs to do more then just put up numbers. he needs to be coachable, a good teammate for the other guys on that team, and show he can still play as well. then if/when he gets a shot with a nba team he needs to be ok with coming off the bench and let earn whatever increased role he can get.
again i'll use the words sad thing and sadly but when you think about it, it's sad to think that if he didn't blow off training camp with memphis, took that role off the bench and made the most of his playing time and put up decent numbers that he would be back in the starting line up within a month or so.
in Memphis he basically was a problem from training camp to his final game; he refused to come off the bench and created problems and was let go.Originally Posted by 4U2C

IM lost what did AI do to MEmphis to make them give him da boot, and what did he do to the sixers the second time around?
