    Re: Is Allen Iverson a Hall-of-Famer?

    I voted no just because I have a lot of hatred for him. I always liked his defense in his prime, but I hate how he plays offense.
    If I was not to be so biased about him, I would say obviously yes.
    I respect his defense, hate the way he plays offense, but he managed to do alright.

    Haha that measurement might be tops. I saw him in Boston too and it is hard to believe watching a guy that small play ball, especially when you are taller than him.

    His defense was piss poor, imo. It wasn't team defense, he didn't help. All he did was jump around and try and pick pocket. He stole the ball a lot but he got scored on a lot too.

    There is a reason he won't fit on any team anymore. It's because he refuses to change his defensive style.

    AI was amazing at scoring the ball and at being the toughest man on the floor. But I never thought his defense was that great.

    Haha well that is probably why I overrated his defense, because all I was thinking about was him stealing balls.

    Yeah he was great at stealing the ball...but that was the extent of his defensive abilities.


    If he's not first ballot HOF, it's a travesty. He dominated basketball for a couple years.

    At 5'10-5'11 it's hard to do much in basketball. AI did it.

    I voted no cuz I've never heard of him, so he can't be that important.

    Oh, so he plays basketball?

    I voted no. Maybe if he had practiced more...

    (I really voted yes due to peer pressure. I'm sorry, HGM)

    I think he is. Although he is an enigma. He could've been a much greater player if he didn't let his selfishness get in the way.
    Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.
