Not too many players his size have their own patented crossover move. It was sweet as hell!

Anyway, the reason that i liken Summers to Walker is that they’re both power forwards who’s offensive games display small forward and shooting guard ability.

Just a mismatch waiting to happen!

Nowadays Walker’s reduced to playing basketball on Pros vs. Joes with Eddie Jones and Alonzo Mourning.

I think it all went bad for him after his picture was on the cover of NBA Live.

The dreaded curse!

On another note…heard Affalo on the block to Denver. Think we should go after K-Mart?

And notice who Boston’s unproductive point guard was at that time.

I hope Austin Daye understands how important it is for him to gain some muscle weight!

You might find that you step on other peoples toes and end up on the defensive quite often.

I said you read a lot because you once stated that yourself. You said it to justify why you were right about something.

Keep being you Ali. Just know that when you say something out of whack, I’ll challenge you on it. It keeps me from being bored!

More importantly, Summers had another great Summer league game. And just for you to know, I called that Summers would be great on draft day based off I what I saw myself.

You’re probably right about the crying thing, I didn’t pay close attention to what he was actually saying. I just made assumptions based off what I heard at the start.

However I do formulate my own ideas based off what I see, I only bring up articles to give my ideas more validity. Just because I happen to get things right here and there doesn’t mean that I restate what experts say.

The AI thing, I’m okay with, you’re right about that one. On the flip side, I do find that a very ridiculous thing to bring up Deven; you of all people can do better than that.

It’s something everyone should do at least once in their life. It’s very rewarding.

How young were the kids?

It looks like a worthy cause. What did you do?

It’s all perception and opinion. :>

Here’s something you said to give you a clue. “I doubt he’ll ever be regarded as a good person, and quite frankly he’s earned it”

Good person? What is a good person? Do you have a good person manual that you’re reading from? Did you write it yourself?

What if people said you were a bad person because of how long you write or the fact you read a million articles and listen to the “experts” to build your takes from rather than forming your own opinion from what you see with your own eyes?

Judging players on the court is totally different than judging them off the court. AI was crying because the media has always chosen to focus on negative things rather than the positives.

The interview probably wouldn’t have even made the news if he wasn’t crying. Two kids are getting a great opportunity but the focus is still only on AI.

I hope i didn’t offend you. I wouldn’t want to be looked at as a bad person.

For instance, Rasheed likes to visit hospitals and orphangaes, even back in the jailblazer days. However you wouldn’t know it if you just looked at his techs and appearance (especially with the new corn rows, not to mention his speech at Boston pissed me off, but that’s for another time).

However I think that also some of the smarter ones are starting to realize that Iverson may have never been that good to begin with. Especially now that he has to really on his talent since he is no longer more athletic than the opposition.

For instance, people constantly compared him to Jordan at the start of his career. He had a similar skillset, but did everything much faster. Well that’s great, except he never had a solid jumpshot. Here and there you’d see him nail a tough one, but his career FG% numbers clearly disagree that with the idea that he was as talented as Jordon. Further more, he was always a cancer on his team after Larry Brown got fed up with him. Jordan made everyone around him better, I think its safe to say AI made them worse.

So honestly, its a tough call on the media. A lot of AI’s fans are living in the past, back when he showed promise of being able to dominate games. But I’m certain that most of them have learned by now that he’s a tough person to deal with, but on top of that some are realizing that he just is not a player you want on your team as he may have not been all that special in the first place.

Up to this point, I always thought he was in it for himself and all he cared about was money. Especially after he blew up on the Pistons and now wants to play for the Grizzlies (seriously? who the hell wants to play from them?).

However, if he was truly sincere about this, then I do think it was a step in the right direction. I doubt he’ll ever be regarded as a good person, and quite frankly he’s earned it - however this does show signs of him changing a bit.

This is just a question. I’m sure with all that you read and the tremendous amount of insight that you have on things, it should be easy for you.

With that said, it’s nice to see someone get choked up like that about making an impact on someone’s lives. It makes them human.
