i am batman u die now

I just feel bad for Real Deal. This site is so clean looking. Why doesn't anybody wanna talk ball anymore around here?

Yeah, like I never was a major poster here but how hard is it to at least visit the forum every couple of days? Internet can be on your phone, computer, anything - what's the excuse?

Was ecstatic to find out that the sites back, bummed to see how dead it is.

Awesome signature.

http://themostrequested.tv/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/130555482_crop_650x440.jpg Yes, we're all familiar with Allen Iverson. Iverson is one of the greatest players in NBA history. His prolific scoring ability and his leading aspirations where one of the things that made him who he is today. Regardless of his sub-par shooting percentages; his scoring was the only reason Philly made it to the finals. Mutombo obviously helped, but without Iverson, they'd be in serious trouble. Iverson had a 40 point game in that final series I believe. Iverson may be famous for his killer crossover and his ball hawk like hands, but what plenty of Iverson doubters remember about him, they remember him for his personality. Allen was born in a rough part of town, he was raised in a broken home and was a convicted felon before his arrival in the NBA. Remember when Iverson tried the rap game? Iverson famously annoyed NBA commissioner David Stern when an album he had made under the soubriquet "Jewelz" was said to contain offensive and hateful lyrics about homosexuals. That was a disaster, plus, let's go back a second, let's review his felonies. Some charges where dropped, others weren't. You could see his previous record would make you assume he'd be.. well, guilty! Now sadly, he can barely play in Besitaks, and is struggling financially, so I've heard. 14/02/1993: Given a 15 year jail sentence, with 10 years suspended, for maiming someone with a chair at a bowling alley. Served 4 months before receiving a pardon, and a quashed conviction. 4th August 1997: Convicted of carrying an unlicensed concealed weapon and marijuana possession after the car he was riding as a passanger in was stopped for speeding. In a plea bargain, pleaded no contest to the gun charge so that the drug charge would be dropped. Sentenced to 100 hours community service, 3 years probation and 2 years of drug testing. July 2002: Arrested and charged on 14 counts, including 12 felonies, after storming into his cousins apartment with a gun he wasn't supposed to have. All charges eventually dropped due to inconsistent prosecution testimonies. After reading those factual details about Iverson's lack of senseability, you can presume that he is, and forever will be, a drama queen. His play on the court will always be hindered by the legacy he left behind off the court. Regardless of how you think of Iverson, you will think about his troubles. Imagine what Iverson could of been, if he had been better off the court? He IS an iconic legend of 2000's culture, but is that a good thing? Was he an example? Was he a GOOD one, at that? Does his barrage of fans come off as people in denial, or people who're passionate? What if basketball was just a game? If Iverson wasn't hogged down by the media, would he have been such a mess? Sure, was it his fault he was badly spoken? Most of the time, yes. Iverson has swag. He had his very unique persona that can never be duplicated. Loud mouthed winner who would die on the court for you. The most impressive player at his size in recent memory. Truly athletic and truly talented, was Allen Iverson.

Me? I don't know, this isn't my opinion, I'm just posting the article.

JR better be coming on board, cause if not LAC is in deep trouble.

Agreed. I do somewhat miss George Hill, but I do realize Leonard's potential exceeds Hill's by a significant margin.
