You guys may be right. At the same time though I can see him respecting the guys in Boston. I don't think he'd have a problem coming off the bench for a championship caliber team. Memphis on the other hand, A puppy squad who sucks, with barely a hope for an 8th seed.... I can see a player of AI's caliber being insulted when asked to come off the bench for Mike CONLEY. He wouldn't have issues coming off the bench for Rondo. If he did Rondo would just have to flash the 08 ring in his face , he'll shut up.lol Wishful thinking. I'm just racking my brain still stunned by last nights loss. Our offense down the stretch wasn't good. Wish we had one more weapon to score & penetrate.
He didnt just throw a fit about coming off the bench in Memphis. He did it in Detroit too, that had a veteran squad of Rip Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace, and Tayshaun Prince. Those three players are no Pierce, Garnett, and Allen, but I think it's enough to prove that he doesnt respect anyone more than he respects his own self fulfilling ego.
Iverson always said he'd come off the bench for a team that he feels is contending, he'd have no problem with it. This Celtics team played .500 basketball for half of this season and dropped to a 4th seed in the playoffs. Iverson would have destroyed this team before we would have had a chance to see a miraculous run in the playoffs like we did this year, yet we were contenders all along.
Hes not worth it.
