Is Allen Iverson the best little man of all time? Better than Tiny Nate Archibald and possibly even beeter than Isiah Thomas?
Dennis Rodman: 2 time all star, 2 time defensive player of the year, and 7 time all NBA defensive first team
Tony Kukoc: 1990 FIBA World CHampionship MVP; EuroBasket MVP, Manu Ginobili of his generation
and most of all: Scottie Pippen: 7 time NBA all star, 3 time all NBA first team, 8 time All NBA defensive first team, one of the 50 Greatest Players of All time.
Now my question is: If Kobe Bryant had these highly talented players, in their primes, on his side, wouldnt he be able to 3-peat in the watered-down, (compared to day and the 80′s) 90′s??
i know at player i left out i was putting the ones that were on the bulls at the same time during the second 3-peat.
WTF MARS?? your totally ******* our generation, probably becuase u dont know anything.
Try:
Kobe
lebron
CP3
Derron Williams
Dwight Howard
Chris Bosh
D-wade
Tmac
Melo
A.I.

It’s official, Allen Iverson is leaving and he has played his last game for the 76ers.
Who can the 76ers get for Allen Iverson?
how would someone in england go about playin for european baskeball teams in france, spain and italy etc
I won our office March Madness Bracket contest and one of the gifts I get to choose from is either a Kevin Durant or Allen Iverson basketball. I will probably sell either one I get on E-Bay or Craigslist and wanted to see which one might fetch the most money? Any input or hard data? Thanks for your help.
This is just a little debate my friend and i were having. They said 5 minutes, but i didn’t agree.
What do you think?
When you take a look at the Western Conference, it seems as if the Lakers are at the top, with San Antonio not too far behind. The three to eight seeds are literally unpredictable, especially with the amount of free agent signings thus far during the off season.
What role will Greg Oden take on in Portland? Oden’s role with the team and his health/effectiveness are probably the biggest concerns on anyone’s mind. Oden seems to get hurt at the drop of a pin, and his fragility may be a key issue to the team’s success.
The rest of the world realizes this about Oden’s fragile state and believes he’ll be injured virtually every season. Oden has shown flashes of maturity and development, and his game seems to be progressing. A healthy Oden could be key to the team’s success, bringing Portland basketball to another level.
Most critics will say that one should expect Oden to miss significant chunks of every season of his career, but time will tell about Oden’s state. Regardless, Oden’s defensive presence is very valuable to the team, and would go a long way in building a successful season in Portland.
The young, inexperienced core of the Blazers team is another concern in Portland. Most of the players on the team have only played in one NBA playoffs, and that was last season, the first time the Blazers made it since 02-03. The lack of experience could limit the team’s potential.
Many Western Conference players and teams have years of playoff experience, and this goes a very long way come April, May, and June. Portland has nothing of the sort at this point in time and may take a few years to acclimate.
As far as Miller’s impact is concerned, there’s no doubt that most believe he’ll improve the team. The bigger question at hand is the extent to which his presence will impact things.
The Portland team matches up with Los Angeles really well. Miller is a stronger point guard than Derek Fisher, Bryant obviously wins over Roy, Artest is stronger than Outlaw, and Gasol is stronger than Lamarcus Aldrdige. Odom and Bynum is up in the air, but the point is that all match-ups are close. Things could get interesting.
remember, its the basketball Hall of Fame NOT the nba hall of fame.

well, i think he deserves it. he’s a total team player and a winner on EVERY level.
I always wear basketball shoes when I run. Is it good to run in them because it helps with training. Like in DBZ, when Goku wears wegihts on his shoes to help him train.
Im trying to watch some eurobasket 2009 games online what should i do?
