Odom could've been sooooooo much better than he is. I know you can say that about a ton of players, and he was SMOTY ... but this just reminds me of how much raw talent he has.

This was a terrible game though; both these teams were full of certified bums. SMH @ having Bob Sura as a significant player on your squad.

And watching this game right now, I'm not even sure how Iverson got to 50. He was clearly just jacking up shots and ballhogging the shyt out of the rock, but it seems like he threw up a lot more bricks than the stat sheet says. :manny:

Tim Hardaway had a crossover, maybe the best ever, but Iverson had crazier handles overall. He took dribbling to the next level.

I'm sure Derrick Rose wasn't growing up trying to emulate Tim Hardaway's crossover (which nobody else has been able to use since). Iverson's crossover, which was unique at the time, has become a staple for pretty much every guard entering the league these days.
Derrick Rose might not have been trying to emulate Tims crossover but I bet you AI was. I aint tryin to discredit AI...but you said he brought handles and crossovers to the forefront which is absolutely false...He made his mark (maybe even elevated the handles game) but Crossovers were at the forefront since the late 80s early 90s. Tim Hardaway had AIs whole generation of point guards tryna cross fools up...since they seen him play at UTEP. I love AI as much as the next man but I swear some of ya'll like to pretend some of these nikkas revolutionized the game in ways that had already been revolutionized. Some dude said AI might have been the first to use Dwades signature step back...makes me wonder if you guys have watched ANY basketball in the 90s...Penny Hardaway pretty much had that shyt perfected.

As big of an A.I fan that I was/am, I had forgotten how hard this dude use to go. So much so, that I had to break out the jersey that he was wearing that game.

You could be at a basketball gym and tell A.I. that there was an impenetrable invisible glass surrounding the hoop, that would allow him to just shoot, but not get to the rim. He'd say "oh, aight......" You'd come back 20 minutes later, and this nikka is laid out because he tried to get through the glass anyway.

Bubba Chuck will always be that dude in my eyes.

*Bumps "40 Bars" as I watch him give 50 plus to the Raptors in a playoff game* :win:

Really put alot of thought into this post, huh

AI learned his crossover off of a walk-on at Georgetown.

I saw that game the other week, this dude was like fukk playing PG, I'm gonna be :bustback: all day. Looking back, em I the only one that thought that AI should have stayed as a PG and just be a scoring PG, even though he played the passing lanes, the dude was just too small and overmatched going against almost every other SG in the game. But, anyways I'm waiting to watch that 50+ point game performance he had against Wince Carter during the 2nd round in 01.

Don't remind us, iverson went ham on us that series. :sadcam:

How many guards were dribbling like AI before AI?

How many guards are dribbling like AI after AI?

There's your answer.

AI was ahead of his time. Where now guards like Rose and Russy are getting praise for being shoot first PG's (even though in Rose case he has to take shots for the Bulls to win) Iverson was criticized for doing the same thing. Now i kow Chuck was a gunner to the extreme but to even get those shots off was a feat in itself.
