Funny, alot of people said the same thing about Allen Iverson until he started winning and about Baron Davis until he turned the Warriors into one of the best teams in the league.

Any how many of those bigger guys were NBA talent? Sure, he gets that 10/10, but so does a guy like Udonis Haslem or David Lee. He's not good enough to be that everyday defensive anchor. No team has ever won with that much of a deficiency in the big man spots.
AI and Davis? You're just speculating. What about Steve Francis? Stephon Marbury?
