This is exactly how things started off between LB and Iverson. Maybe that was worse then this. LB would come to every press meet looking like his best friend had just died, rubbing his eyes etc. He would talk about AI'S lack of practice, dicipline, distribution etc. AI would sulk for a few days, then go out and get 50. I'm not comaring Steph to Iverson obviously, but the situation is eerily similar.


And that team got to the finals.


All I'm saying is that, just like in Philly, it looks on the outside that LB is losing all patience with his star player. But privately, there are things going on that spell a situation that is far more positive then what we see in the headlines.

and ai was pretty much in his 2nd, 3rd year with philly? marbury's been around for a bit. it's a little different.
