Yes it does, with some good reason, as AI has not always been professional in the way he has handled himself or his career. IMO, he deserves some credit for growing up, better late than never!
I wasn't getting defensive, you impuned my integrity, which I take very seriously.
The Sixers are on national TV tonight, against the Pistons. Thanks to the days off they've had recently, the Sixers should be fresh and better prepared to run their offense. OB claims that some of AI's turnovers are a result of the changes in their offense, which mean that the players aren't where AI expected them to be.
I find that argument weak. AI is just careless at times, and just as he forces shots, he forces passes. He still hasn't learned patience. I suppose with his talent, he believes in his ability, but no player is so good that he can make anything he wants to happen on the court happen. It takes alot to make good decisions, and he doesn't.
Makes me miss guys like Bird, who always made the best pass. Now, there was a guy with brains for the game.
