Has the "Answer" changed?
Recently it was announced that Allen Iverson would be out for the remainder of the season and the playoffs should the Detroit Pistons make it that far. It’s interesting that AI’s back problem began to get worse as talks of him playing the bench role behind Richard Hamilton increased.
One could only speculate that this could be the real reason for Iverson’s departure. I mean, when you think of Allen Iverson, you think of the one man that almost broke Michael Jordan’s ankles with his killer crossover a few years back. And now the Piston’s want to play him from the bench?
Allen Iverson’s biggest problem is that he’s never been much of a team player, although he is a great individual player. The Detroit Piston’s biggest problem is that they have eyes. Their eyes see Chauncy Billups out west with the Denver Nuggets currently in the number 2 spot behind the LA Lakers. Denver found out that the “answer” wasn’t for them and their fortunes changed.
Whatever the end result for Iverson, you have to hope he doesn’t leave Detroit and end up with some sub .500 team. That would be something I think any basketball fan would hate to see. Allen Iverson has matured much since he first step into the NBA, now let’s just hope the wisdom he’s obtained tells him to close shop when it’s closing time.
