Re: And you thought he was a bust...
Would have been cool if he made the transition to full-time PG. He would have ofset AI's height disadvantage at the SG spot.

"If you've ever seen Iverson play in person, you know that his improvisational skills are amazing. Baron Davis calls him unguardable. He's a killer on the fast break. One on one, even one on two, when the guy they call the Answer is on a one-way trip to the basket, you better just foul him. People can hate all day about the number of shot attempts. But, damn, give him props for even getting them up. He's small enough to have every shot contested. That 39% shooting sounds terrible to the regular reader, but have you seen these NBA players lately?"

Hodge can play basketball. NBA front offices are just caught up in other stuff sometimes.

Re: And you thought he was a bust...
Hodge was one of my favorite college players to watch. He always played with great intensity and passion and he had that NYC style that made people want to go and watch him play. I hope he gets his shot to get back in the NBA again.

Re: And you thought he was a bust...
Players often play well in the D-League; only to play like crap in the NBA. I believe players like Lonny Baxter would be examples of this. Don't kid yourself - these 2 leagues are many levels of performance apart.
Frankly, I think playing on teams in Europe or Israel would provide better experience for transitioning to the NBA. The level of performance there is much closer to the NBA.

Re: And you thought he was a bust...
How many Israeli league pickups do you read about throughout the season?

No, Thomas and his guys weren't the only ones in the wrong Saturday. The Nuggets have their own issues. But when it was over, at least they weren't crying, at least they weren't punking.
It's all gone in New York now – the pride, the respect, the dignity. This isn't just a bad team; this is a bad act. A once proud franchise and fan base brought to its knees as its pathetic coach makes excuses and whines for mercy.
