Iverson is five times the player that Arenas is.
Washington @ Philadelphia 5:18 left in the 3rd quarter
Gilbert Arenas
28 min, 4-14, 10 points, 2 reb, 6 assists, 1 TO
Allen Iverson
30 min 11-15, 32 points, 2 reb, 8 assist, 2 TO
Iverson is five times the player that Arenas is.
with 100 times the TV viewer draw
yup..they really messed up this one
Reebok
And why Brad Miller??
I'm threw trying to figure out this whole team usa thing.
all i know is they recruited bowen and i'm happy with that.
I'll jsut sit back and trust that japan will be worth watching... if it is then I'll be phsyched for the olympics.. if not. well.
I'll refrain from ing about it.
we cannot realisticaly expect to have a dream team every go around.
Allen Iverson just retired AD from organized basketball.
Of course, Arenas is starting to heat up, too. But then he has help.
AI has Chris Webber. Who just added to his legacy by committing a violation on an inbounds pass.
Timing is everything.
Too bad the selection committee didn't use a portion of a single box score to pick the players to invite, with TV viewer draw as a secondary consideration.
ShoogarBear is playing my song.
Allen Iverson is legit, were not really complaining because we dont have a big star like Iverson on the team, he just deserves to be on the team.
I still cannot believe AI didn't even get an invite. I've heard people saying lately it's cuz he's not a team player, but that's bull . 47 pts *and* 12 assists tonight. That's not a selfish player, that's a ing superhuman. Way to reward him, USA Basketball.
i seriously think we should pe ion this cuz in my opinion, theres no better shooting guard than AI (and thats out of AMERICAN SGs). hes second in the league in points behind KB for christ sake. if we had AI on the team, we would have the 1, 2, 3 leading scorers in the NBA.
So Kobe and Iverson on the same team?
Too many Supermen for me...
Yeah, instead they used critieria that picked GILBERT ARENAS?
Now THAT's some basketball knowledge on display!
He's obviously not a real center and doesn't provide any shotblocking but he could rebound, shoot the 15-footer, function like a secondary point guard, maybe throw an elbow or two to shake up the soft gringos. He's the perfect FIBA-ready big man.
I think the comittee is looking at Iverson's age in 2008. He's going to be old.
There´s only one ball in a Basketball game
If Iverson, Wade, Lebron, Kobe and Melo are in the same team, you need 2 balls
The USA team need players who can play without the ball, like Bowen.
Wally, that sig about Manu in the playoffs still makes me laugh, even the 1000th time...
If Iverson's age in 2008 is problematic, explain why Shaq has a standing invite and why Bruce Bowen (who is older now than Iverson) is going to camp.
This was about Allen Iverson, and for whatever reason, the selection committee believed that Arenas was a better fit than Iverson. That's a boneheaded decision.
Exactly, I still can't figure out how Shaq gets the royal treatment and AI gets the boot. It can't be about age.
. Watching Colangelo this morning I just realized why Arenas got picked.
HE WENT TO ARIZONA!
