dirk fan??? since when???

Plus, iverson didn't even really get a chance to mesh with the team before people jumped on his case. your makin it like he was there for years and just killed the team. There was no real time to adjust. When he first got to the pistons, its not like he came out gunning. He TRIED to switch his role and thats when people started the "oh well iverson lost a step" debates. The only time he really went "iverson" was that game against the spurs and he was the only piston who did anything to keep them in that game. The team was already slipping before he got there. The point of my allstar game comment was, if hes around good players, he knows he can pass and does a great job of doing it. But on the pistons, they were always a team known better for their chemistry than their actual player for player talent. And ya denver got destroyed by the eventual champs and we all expected that cuz they couldn't play D, but was that iverson fault? no, it was melo going Ice cold and them having no bench. I mean i agree with u at parts, iverson is never gonna be the john stockton type pg, but people are jumping on his case meanwhile hes never been in the situation where he was rightfully the 3rd of 4rd option. Even at this point in his career, hes better than anyone on the pistons. So just like u said about jordan, why should he sit bench? Thats how he sees it. As much as its iversons fault, its everyone in the organizations fault. I'm not even really a iverson fan, but I kno enough about ball to realize you can't just put it in on him. The pistons didn't adjust their game either, they just kept playing like billups was coming back. meanwhile they should of just spaced the floor and had AI and stucky attack the middle so rip and sheed could pop jumpers with maxiell crashing.

Cuz if i remember correctly, denver still made it to the playoffs with him, even with melos off court issues. Thats like sayin the pistons traded billups cuz he couldnt' score. @karizmatic, denver traded him cuz they needed more defense, not cuz he cant play point.
