Yes, Iverson is a ballhog, and as I see it, he doesn't deserve to be in the hall of fame, becasue he doesn't make his teamates better.

I haven't seen enough of Webber to say, but he does not appear to be selfish as a player.

Iverson should be able to get more like 10 assists a game.  He would if he would stop forcing shots and look for his teamates.

He doesn't need to take so many shots, and the team is better off when he shoots less.  This is where the ESPN poll is wrong.   All anyone needs to do is look at the shooting percentages to realize AI shoots too much.  I blame him, and his coach.

Clearly O'Brien is to blame and he should be fired right away.  The team shows no consistency on offense.  There's no excuse for that.

A.I. can win a title, but not the way he's playing now.  I don't have a problem with him playing the point, just with the number of shots he takes.

If AI changes enough, this team should be able to win a title, or at least contend.  That will get both he and CWebb into the hall.

Is there such a thing as a good team that doesn't pass the ball or get along?  That's a stupid question.  The Sixers are not a good team, they are a team with ample talent that underperforms.   They win against weak teams, and loose to everyone else.
