Iverson = Greatest player 6-foot or shorter.

Fuck what the books say. I’m 5’10″ and I’ve stood side-by-side with Iverson before. He’s my height… MAYBE a whisker taller than me. It sucks that a lot of people will only remember how Iverson’s career ended.

he’s gonna play in front of maybe the best fans in the world (they are in same category with partizan fans Grobari).
i hope he delivers them good basket!

Iverson deserves better from the NBA.

This video is pure culture shock. I am not so sure this Turkey stint will go well.

IVERSON belongs in NBA. He can still hoop good enough to be in NBA and maybe even start for some teams. You mean to tell me the Raptors couldn’t use AI just to have a face of the team? I don’t get it.

“Guy looked like a child, and frail too.”
I just posted that AI is my size. I guess you’re calling me a child and frail too. Lol! Well, fuck you, you overgrown mutant basturd!!

^^^ like everyone else online, i throw insults when I have nothing else to say.

Height doesn’t necessarily mean you are or are not frail, I’m just saying that he’s such a small person that it’s hard to really imagine him as a basketball player. It’s sort of like watching MMA ringside, and you see these lil’ 5’4 120lb super light weight fucks out there, and you have a hard time seeing them beat the fuck out of anything. Of course, underestimating someone like that is what gets ya KO’d (or burnt playing basketball) but it’s an easy thing to do.

If you are a skinny lil’ fuck, and only 5’10, I would probably regard you as frail too, but you’d have to be really skinny and weak looking (like AI is) . Unless of course you are a chick, which I don’t think you are. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a chick within 6 inches of me height wise, so I tend to regard them all equally, once you are over 4-6″ taller than someone, it’s all the same.

I don’t get you guys, why do you think this is a bad way of going out? AI is doing what he always loved to do, for some it doesn’t matter if it is on the big stage or whatever. His image may be ruined and the status of selfish is already on his head, but why don’t you see that he didn’t quit, he still follows his passion. For that, for the awesome skills and for the reputation he brought to basketball, that David Stern still tries to change, I admire AI, and maybe you should too and stop hating!

Sad to see, and the reason is that Iverson doesn’t strike me as a “world traveler” who is doing this not just for basketball and experience but for the money. Hopefully, he gets something out of the experience and doesn’t just lock himself in a 5 star hotel room for the year with an xbox. The people obviously look DAMNED excited to see him, dunno if he looked as excited to see them though.

Reading these comments makes me think: Do yall REALLY think he’ll return to the NBA again????

Cause cat has been given chances. When no one signed him a year ago, yall scream ‘GIVE AI A CHANCE. HE CAN STILL PLAY!’. Memphis signed him, and he destroyed his chance there. Then yall come and say, ‘TRADE HIM TO PHILLY WHERE HE BELONGS’. Then AI destroyed his chance AGAIN.

Seriously people. I’m not gonna trash cat’s game. But this cat has been given enough chances to redeem himself in the NBA? The game has never been bad to him. But it’s him that crushed all hope for himself. It’s him that always thinks it’s 2001. It’s him that cannot adjust to the role the coaches gave him. It’s not the game, it’s him.

And seriously now, isn’t it just fair that right now instead of AI helping a contender and finally win a chip by accepting a lesser role, he’s in another country still acting like he’s the best 2 guard in the world?

Cause for yall people saying its unfair that he isn’t in the L, maybe yall just have to think and look for a second.

First off..stop hating on AI;;ya’ll dont know what heart is and probably were in your diapers when he was diving on the floor and taking it all the way to the finals against the mighty lakers with matt geiger as his second best player..

second off, those jerseys are gonna sell like gravy in turkey..hes probably gonna double his salary just off jersey sales…my man is makin money moves as he ends his career–showin up to the airport in his new jersey…

john thompson is right–theres still only a handful of players in the world who actually want the assignment of guarding iverson…hes still better than baron davis and all these other bums in the league who got bailed out with contracts…andre miller probably shit in his pants every time ai was on the schedule..

@sunni

LOL “andre miller probably shit in his pants every time ai was on the schedule..”, I think he probably do that every time he hears AI’s name!!
