		<description>Resse Notez Is Rite, Fuck Yall Other Niggas, If Yall Bitches Really Knew Basketball Yall Wouldn&#039;t Be Saying All This Shit. Allen Iverson Hands Down Is One Of The Best Scorers In NBA History. Ok Who Gives A Fuck How Many Shots He Takes Yall Act Like He Is A Complete Ball Hog, Look At The Stats Dumb Ass There Hasn&#039;t Been One Year When He Has Not Averaged Over 5 Assists A Game.And There Are Plenty Of People In The Hall Of Fame That Don&#039;t Have A Ring. A.I. Will Be In Da Hall Of Fame And If He Doesn&#039;t Start By The End Of The Year For The Grizzles Look For A Sixer&#039;s Reunion.(Yea I Said It)
AND IF ITS A.I. RETIRE IS YALL FUCKING FAULT FOR CRITIZING HIM EVERY GOT DAMN YEAR FOR NOTHING.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m feeling yall on the hate. Fuck this asshole and his me-first ways. 

But come fucking on, saying Philly went to the Finals because of Mu-fucking-tombo and Larry Brown is just insane as shit. Stop pretending yall fans, assholes. Cause if yall real, you KNEW that AI carried that whole fucking team in his back. Yes, he takes 99% of the team&#039;s shot and played no defense, but the year he took Philly to the Finals, he was the best baller in the L, bar none. Burn him for what he&#039;s doing now, but puhlease, leave the 2001 Sixers alone. No one can fucking touch that.</description>

		<description>selfish, me first player that plays no defense can&#039;t actually lead a team (Philly had mutumbo and Larry Brown when theyb went to the finals) and honestly wants to win but not make the sacrifices to do it. I personally don&#039;t feel he should be in the hall, ya he scored a lot but was not effecient and is a career loser.</description>

		<description>...Houston?

PS see how long that Miller/Blake situation lasts.  They started NEXT to each other - Miller will likely go back to the bench for the start of games.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m about same age as this dude, and I&#039;ve been following his career since his Georgetown days. He entered the L the same year I graduated college.

I always wondered what this guy would be like when he was 35, 40 years old. Sad to say, I&#039;m really not that surprised with how everything has turned out. Are any of us surprised???

The thing that irks me most about A.I. is his dishonesty with the media, his teammates, and possibly, himself.  How many times does he talk about the importance of winning...the importance of team.  In the end, you gotta wonder how much of what came out of dude&#039;s mouth was genuine, and how much of it was a crock of shit.

Hopefully, the legacy that Iverson left for the next gen is more than just cornrows, crossovers, and the lack of championships.</description>

		<description>Damn I don&#039;t want to AI retire like this......


It looks like a TO situation: Primetime talent on the tailend of his career playing/signed to a team that doesn&#039;t know how to utilize his talents 

Even if your not a fan of AI at least respect what he did and brought to the game.</description>
