The Knicks should pick him up. Imagine,,he,Marbury,and Francis al onthe same team.

Larry Brown would have a heart attack

Depends.

If the "deal" is to give up Ginobili and/or Parker ... nope.

Besides, unless Iverson has aged mentally about 20 years, no way he'd play under Popovich.

And you say I am retarded. Iverson doesnt fit on that team. Parker is their 23 year old Point and Bowen is their stopper. I could see Iverson going to the T-Wolves if KG isnt traded to the Lakers first.

It's too bad that even basketball has become so politically correct.

Nowadays, they refer to players like Bowen as "defensive specialists."

Back in the Good Old Days, we just used to say "wow, that guy really fucking sucks on offense."

People are funny -- announcers try and sugar-coat Bowen by talking up his defense...to the point that he came in second in DPOTY voting.

I was just hoping somebody here could help me out -- when was the last time that the guy this "defensive specialist" was gaurding DIDN'T drop a 30-spot?

Sure, maybe I don't see every single Spurs game during the course of the season...but I see a bunch. And I'm not sure I've ever seen one where his opponent wasn't padding their career highlight reel.

If the Spurs could shore up that weak link, the word "dynasty" might come into play.
