Combine Allen Iverson's speed with Steve Nash's brain and you have T.J. Ford
Right.
Combine Allen Iverson's speed with Steve Nash's brain and you have T.J. Ford, a heart-stopper in more ways than one. Milwaukee Bucks opponents aren't merely terrified of the intrepid 5'10", 165-pound point guard, they are terrified for him every time he launches his wee self into the mosh pit of the lane. "Are you O.K.?" Heat point guard Jason Williams asked earlier this month after Miami center Alonzo Mourning had decked Ford with an elbow to his nose. If Williams's concern seemed unusual -- whose face hasn't been altered by a Zo elbow? -- it was only because he was aware of Ford's extensive history of not getting back up off the floor. Says Golden State Warriors guard Derek Fisher, "I've had two right-foot injuries, and each time I know how protective I've been of my injured area. So I would think that [with his injury history] T.J. would be a little skeptical about going to the basket or trying to finish plays around the rim. But he has no fear."

Right.
That's a bit of an overstatement, eh? It's not like he's averaging 25pts and 12 assists. I have to give him credit though, he is fearless and he has been great so far this season.
i still remember when he beat judson on the way to the state championship, jay lost to judson then judson lost to sugarland willowridge
i can take TJ anyday one on one
He played against the Pistons last week, and he looked pretty damn weak. (4pts,5rbs,3asts) I was watching him to see what he could do, and came away dissapointed. I know it was just one game, but I was really expecting more.
He started out great this year, but has sort of fizzled. If you look at his last 5 games (with the exception of tonights game in which he scored a bunch) he has flat out sucked. In those 5 games, he averaged: 8pts 3.4rbs 3.8asts
Not very impressive.
I gotta a bunch of love for TJ, after his time at UT and what he did for UT basketball. I just wish him continued success in the NBA.
He's not an all star yet, but maybe in time. Until then, he'll just be a good point man, and damn fun to watch.
I love TJ but he is not a hybrid Iverson-Nash.
