As a Dallas Mavs FFL, not knowing where this team would be within a few years and seeing where they’d been for nearly a decade, all I could think when they drafted Tractor was “we can’t catch a break.” The trade for Dirk didn’t excite me, either, but I’m glad I was dead wrong. Thanks Don Nelson. My thanks to your son, as well. God bless!
Wow. Its amazing seeing these playedback. Hindsight. Imagine Iverson paired up with Pierce or Dirk?!?....Multiple chips likely.....This is an underrated draft. Best players in the draft went 9, n 10.....
They would've just ended up having to trade Pierce or Dirk the same way they did with Stackhouse...AI was a chucker and those guys would've negatively benefitted from it. The reality is, the 2001 team was as good as it was going to get for an Iverson team. He had a second scorer in Melo and could barely win a playoff GAME, let alone a series.
Iverson couldn’t share the ball and didn’t put in the time or work necessary to be a champion. Dirk and Pierce both won chips after Iverson was already washed.
@@WorldwideWyatt Yeah Iverson certainly had his flaws as fantastic a player as he was. Even dating back to his Georgetown days he was only able to play one way. Very ball dominant and all out. Part of the reason he wore out, all those minutes at 100%. I always wonder though if he had one more really talented offensive player in philly, what those teams mighta been capable of. At least he couldve been allowed more rest instead of playing over 40 mpg. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ Your right though, "The Answer" for all his greatness, his teams never won the big one dating back to his college days aswell.
