kanye made me wait 4 hours for his ass, and I was in the first row at Roo. Luckily i was high as **** so I didn't even know it took him four hours to get on stage until I read that. I threw some glow sticks at him though, so I feel like we are even.

but then he went and made this terrible new trash, so now, I hope he plays Roo next year, because I am going to throw battery acid at him.

oh, and yes, it is pretty obvious Iverson needs to play SG, but in order to to that he needs a PG that can guard a SG. Which is why Eric Snow was perfect.

AI isn't a SG either, because there isn't a SG in the league that he can guard.

What AI needs to is play PG like a SG.. With a great playmaker next to him at sg/sf.. Like say, lebron or wade

It's so obvious and yet, Iverson only played SG like once in his career. Why is that? Is Iverson too stupid to realize it, or are the coaches too scared to talk to Iverson to tell him to move to sg? Will Iverson never move from pg to sg just like Alfonso Soriano won't move from the 1st spot in the Cubs batting order? Is Iverson stubborn?

No, Kanye is the voice of this decade of this generation, he even said so himself.

No, he just never plays for teams that have a big point guard that can guard 2's. Camby for Hinrich was a match made in heaven for both teams.

Umm AI played the SG throughout his entire stint in Denver.

Yeah he creates offensive mismatches, but whats worse is that he also creates defensive mismatches that are not in his favor. There isn't a true 2 guard in the league that he can defend. The only player you can put next to Iverson to have a successful backcourt would have to be a fairly tall (6'4"+) guard that can handle the ball, defend opposing 2's and consistently shoot the long ball. Problem is, theres not many of those in the league... good luck finding one, cause we couldn't do it.

LMAO at Kanye West sucks, top three lyricist out right now.....


I think that says more about the state of music today than it does of Kanye's talent.

COUGH* hinrich*COUGH*

I think Chicago would have done it to with Rose coming out on fire. They clear space for 2010, and get a frontcourt player, who albeit is overrated, but still would be a big help now.

This "Theory" was experimented last night. even though Rodney Stuckey isn't a veteran PG, they started AI at the 2 with Stuckey takin' the ropes. But it resulted in a Loss to one of the worst teams in the east. Looks like AI is just simply a cancer!

I think if you put McGee back then, he would get those blocks just as easily as Russell did. Russell's athleticism was well ahead of the players of his time, and that's about it.

kanye west is the face of hip hop. as much as he is mainstream, he transformed the music genre entirely, making hip hop more accessible to the general population. If Q-tip approves of Kanye, so should you. I know there are better rappers, but producing wise, i don't think there's a better producer.

As judged by one game? AI isn't a cancer, he just doesn't fit the Pistons. Both Detroit and Denver traded for the guy and then tried to change the way he's been playing for his whole career. He needs to be given the ball and told to just go out there and do what he does. The Pistons traded for AI and thought they could turn him into Billups. For some reason teams always think they can turn him into some conservative, pure PG or something. It's not his game and never has been.

I probably should of rephrased that, you're right. He is a cancer to the Pistons. It proves that the Pistons giving up an unselfish player in Chauncey was a wrong move, as the Pistons already have a group of scorers, and didn't really need one more. The pistons were off to a great start at the beginning of the year, and ever since Iverson, they have gone drastically south, while the Nuggets continue to improve. After last night's performance by Melo, he said of Chauncey "The encouragement from such a veteran was great (referring to him being able to keep taking shots), this is something that I have never experienced in my 5 years of playing."
