On the Tube: Allen Iverson is talking about practice again
Allen Iverson was introduced to the Detroit media on Tuesday and spoke of how he will do anything Pistons head coach Michael Curry asks of him. That includes practice.
It's great to see AI poke a little fun at himself. The guy has grown up a lot in the last few years. His Philly exodus was a less-than-amicable breakup. Time will tell if this works, but it seems like the right move...
A.I. Revists His Famous "Practice?" Speech In Detroit
In the pantheon of famous Sports' speeches, the Allen Iverson "Practice?" one ranks up near the top for me. I'd include it on a short list with Jimmy V's at the ESPYs, Lou Gehrig's "Luckiest Man", Jack Buck's Poem after 9/11 and Jim Mora's "Playoffs?" rant (sarcasm people). I don't know why but every time I hear the clip...

Iverson Set to Debut With Chauncey's Number?
The Allen Iverson era for Detroit begins tonight in Toronto. And for those wondering what would happen between Iverson and Rodney Stuckey for that all important jersey #3...it's been settled. The NBA simply wouldn't allow jersey changes in mid-season and if Iverson sticks around or if the Pistons keep him around next season -- he'll have to wait to open the checkbook until then.For...
Allen Iverson Traded to Detroit Pistons for Chauncey Billups
After losing to the Boston Celtics in the 2008 Eastern Conference Finals, Detroit Pistons president Joe Dumars promised that there "are no sacred cows" on his roster. On Monday, Dumars proved he was a man of his word.

Did Detroit get Allen Iverson to get Rasheed Wallace a weed-smoking buddy?
Basketball-wise, there is no other explanation other than that Joe Dumars traded away Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess for Allen Iverson other than he wanted to get Rasheed Wallace a weed-smoking buddy. This isn't a judgement on weed-smoking; it's quite possible that Wallace and Iverson will have a better time lighting up joints together than playing ball.

Players who put up big numbers might not do the other things that help you win.
The fact that coaches and GM must look beyond stats, is the unssucceful pairing of Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony who never worked.Each of them needed ball in hand and too many shots, both were defensively not good and they each looked to pass only when they couldn't see the basket. See ...
Video: Allen Iverson Still Talkin' Bout Practice
Allen Iverson was traded from the Denver Nuggets to the Detroit Pistons for Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess after just over a season and a half of disappointment in Denver.

No Point Guard, No Win
(Boulder-CO) Hey Chauncey, we need you! Never was it more apparent that the Denver Nuggets need Mr. Big Shot than in last night's loss to the Golden State Warriors. Sure, when everything was going right (like the in the first ten minutes) the Nuggets look unbeatable, but when the shots stop ...
Let's Swap Aging Point Guards: Chauncey Billups for Allen Iverson
As has been reported by a number of news outlets, the Pistons and Nuggets agreed on a trade yesterday that sent Allen Iverson to Detroit in return for Chauncey Billups, Antonio McDyess and Cheikh Samb. It's a deal that basically works for both teams, although I'm not quite enthusiastic about it contract-wise from Denver's point [...]
