It's the reason why guys like Nash and Kidd were able to stay in the league longer than AI and continue to ball at a high level. They didn't need amazing speed to ball.
Exactly. Allen Iverson was all about him. He thinks he is still Iverson but he needs to change his game, change his style, etc when he's getting old and older but he wanna be still "Iverson" like in his prime.....that isn't worked anymore. Look at LeBron......LeBron doesn't learn to how to low-post up, in the paint, etc.
This is why Michael Jordan switched up his style to fadeaway, become a greatest mid-rang shooter, etc.
Iverson = LeBron. Both of them are a man show/iso player, one on one style. This is why worked for Iverson in 76ers in his prime and worked for LeBron in his first 7 years with the Cavs in his prime.he carried the team to the finals and lost to the Spurs.
LeBron lucky to had two superstars in their primes. LeBron didn't win two rings by himself.....he got helped by two superstars in the same draft class while Wade already got a first ring with Shaq and Ray Allen one of the best shooter in the nba, got ring too, and got mastermind by Pat Riley.
Iverson tried that too with Melo with George Karl but failed and tried again with the Pistons without Larry Brown and got the worst trade ever by Joe Dummars......mfer traded for Billups for f*cking Iverson...that pissed me off cause I'm a Detroit....nobody likes that trade. and still failed.
Now LeBron back to the Cavs.....why? Heat got you 4 straights to the finals and you gave up because you lost to the Spurs badly?. Spurs didn't give it up.
Last year, Before the season started....Do you know what Spurs said? "I want Miami Heat" but they didn't say "I want a championship or a ring? " they were on a mission because they're f*cking pissed off that Miami Heat took them which is true, Heat just lucky to win in game 6 by Ray Allen. They're hunger mfer to get that shyt back and they did. What did LeBron do?......."I quit....you guys are
to the Heat, I'm going to switch to the stack team and gonna back to my hometown, etc". That's why Pat Riely got mad and didn't like that and he actually said he had so much respect for the Spurs cause they wanted it back...that's something LeBron doesn't understand".
Damn....I'm f8Cking buzzing mfer......
