why not, as long as youre not a superstar no one cares whether you start or not. its just a formality.

If I was in a James Harden type position where I'm good enough to start and one of the best three players on the team, but I'm still getting plenty of minutes and finishing games, but I'm not actually a superstar-level Top 20 player in the league, then I can come off of the bench.

But if I'm in an Allen Iverson position where I was at one point arguably the best in the game but the coach wants me to come off of the bench for Mike Conley? I can't even blame homey for not wanting to come off of the bench.
Dude was lucky to be offered a contract at that point, different situation completely

Perhaps Harden could be a superstar on another team. The fact is he accepts his role and contributes thats all you can ask for.

Allen Iverson is just dumb. If he was as nice as he thought he was he could have easily eaten out Conley and got the starting job and a far more lucrative contract the following season and could possibly still be starting today. Instead, he pouted. Memphis & philly have gone on to succeed without him and he's playing not a pint of shrimp lo mein.

Even Harden says he wants to be a starter. No man in his prime wants to permanently accept a role on the bench.

Is Jesus Shuttlesworth gonna have to Latrell Sprewell a coach? :wtb:

fukk no I ain't coming off the bench! I'm not even coming out the game! Even at halftime I'd be out there shooting half court shots and playing HORSE with the mascot.

I could accept the Ginobli/Harden role because its more about how many minutes you play than being the starter
