Allen Iverson and Bobcats Are Each Other's "Answer"

Did you know A.I. was the 1996 Rookie Of The Year (in the best draft class ever)? He was the 2001 MVP, a 10-time All-Star, a four-time scoring champion, a three-time steals champion, and a two-time All-Star Game MVP as well.

Did you know he has career averages of 27.1 ppg and 6.2 apg along with 2.2 spg and averages 30 ppg in the playoffs (second behind a guy named Jordan)? Did you know he is only six-feet tall and 180 pounds?

People love A.I.

He is third all-time in jersey sales. He has the most Slam Magazine covers. He has 12 signature shoes which is second only to Mike. He made braids, tattoos, and sleeves along with baggy shorts and gangster-rap albums OK for the NBA. He is the biggest trendsetter in the history of all sports.

He is the real poster child for "anything is possible." He showed people around the world that if he could do it then anyone could. He is one of the best scorers ever despite his size and is arguably one of the top 30 players in the history of the NBA. There is no other player at Allen Iverson's size that has done the things he has done.

But why is he not getting any offers this free agency you ask? Did everyone forget about the 12 years before the 08-09 season? The media unfairly put blame on Iverson for last season but that is what he has been getting his whole career—unfair treatment.  But he answers back every time.

He is stuck with offers from the Clippers and Grizzlies. The Heat and Bobcats are also interested. Which place is best for A.I.?

In my opinion, it is the Bobcats because he can reunite with Larry Brown and it would be like the 2001 Sixers team again—except A.I. would not have to average 31 ppg.  This is because the players around him are more talented. I am not saying they would go to the Finals, but if this happens they will make the playoffs as a six or seven seed.

Allen Iverson, when given the freedom to do his own thing, can put on a show and win you a game. When the team lets Allen Iverson be Allen Iverson he is arguably the best player in the league, or at least one of the top three players in the league.

The Bobcats are the best fit for A.I. and he should take the pay cut and sign with them so he can prove the world wrong again. He still has the abilities to do so—he just needs the right situation.
