Iverson misses Thanksgiving (MANDATORY) Practice!
First of all, I must give thanks to one of my favorite listeners, Lil’ Richard. Thanks for the link to this big LACK OF THANKS.
There are so many places I can take this. I can joke about the Old Practice Rant from Philly. I can make reference to the new practice joke from AI’s first press conference as a Piston. I can even quote my own Practice Pistonscast rant.
I wont though, because this is honestly no joking matter. All he had to do was go to shoot around and maybe run some plays. Regardless of how hard practice was going to be, he should have been there.
1. It was a 10 am practice that was only going to last one freaking hour, giving him all of the rest of the day to do whatever like travel, watch football, sleep, be merry.
2. Again it was only 1 hour. I can do almost anything in this world I dont want to do for an hour.
3. It’s your job. Having an hour practice is better than those 3 hour Mike Curry specials.
4. The team needs practice because you guys are still nowhere close to playing as a cohesive unit.
Come on Mr. Iverson, you told all the Detroit Pistons fans that you wanted to win a championship. You told Joe D, Michael Curry and your teammates the same thing. Most importantly you supposedly told yourself that.
Be true to thine own self Allen.
Peace,
John W. Davis

This is a big deal in my opinion. A really big deal. I think he will be better served to come of the bench and be the instant offense that he is comfortable being.
Stuckey will start on Friday. Iverson better watch out. Stuckey had his first double double last night. 13 points and 11 Assists.

U are supposed to be a leader on this team and your not showing up for practice? WTF!!! I dont care if he is Allen Iverson, he’s the new guy on this already established team. He needs us more than we need him. How does this look to the young guys on the team that are fighting for a spot and respect, not good! I dont give a damn who he is, he should be suspended for a game. No ONE man is bigger than the DETROIT PISTONS!!!! It has never been that way and it shouldnt start now.
Michael Curry said this team is gonna be about “Accountabilty”. Now he should do the right thing and hold this man accountable for his actions! This one decision could determine Curry’s coaching mentality and will really test his balls when it comes to his word

Im with you Mike. Was he really a leader on this team before this incident?
I dont think so. Tay Sheed and Rip are our leaders. Not AI.
Im going to be happy to see him come off the bench.
In my opinion, he will actually play better off the bench.

I wasn’t saying that he was the leader our team. Not by far. But as far as the person who he is, he’s supposed to be looked up to because he’s A.I.

That’s the thing. I dont even look up to him cause he is AI. Its the opposite for me.
I “dont” look up to him because he is AI.
I dont trust him to 100% change his playing style so our team is better.
