but the 76ers lose , we pick up another 1/2 game on them

He also had 7 steals.

He truly is one of the best of my generation, I'm happy to say I've seen him play a few times.

I actually had the pleasure of watching this game in High Defiiniton on NBATV, sixers were down 16 at the half and AI single handedly brought them back, I think he scored 21 points in the third quarter It kinda sucks to see them lose after that performance but its cool cause we pick up another 1/2 game

now if only the Celtics go on a losing streak

Only problem is that he's playing the point right now and he's taking too many shots for a point guard. If he's playing the point he should he setting up the offense. Although he dropped 51 most of his teammates weren't even in double figures scoring. Unless he scores 100 points by himself, Philly would loose to most teams with him doing all the scoring at point guard. I like AI but the way this team is set up where he has to play the point isn't going to work for them too long. He's naturally a 2 guard in a point guard's body. They need to play him that way. What happens, if I'm his teammate on the 76ers, and the game is on the line and I haven't put up a shot for the entire half due to my point guard constantly shooting, and all of a sudden I get free for the open jumper but I'm ice cold now?

As a bball fan what he is doing is phenomenal. But at as Knick fan I say "keep shooting AI". Gives us a better chance at beating a one man team. Reminds me of the old MJ 60+ outing against Boston but left with the L.

Lets help make that happen: when we play them this week, lets win!

the guy is a 6-0 160 pound shooting G in a legaue where the average size is 6-7 220 pounds. truly a warrior amongst warriors, a guy who can sustain pain, tremendous physical demands and still dominate. its a shame that they lost because his effort alone demanded a win.

its a shame that he may be forced to retire at the age of 32. i love ai and his game ( probably the only thing i like in philly sports), but his style is destroying his body. he is still getting his 40 or 50 pt. games but how will he hold up for the rest of the season? will he have a healthy season ever again? but i am with smooth. he is a pleasure to watch and i have watched him live a couple of times. he is one of the many warriors that came out of the georgetown program with ewing, mutumbo, and mourning. i hope we can include sweetney in that group in the future.

That question goes on about him every year and he continues to do it. He's truly a freak. I thought he and Snow worked great together. Now Korver is an unbelievable shooter out there but I have to think that AI really misses Snow. Btw if Silas is blowing up with SNow can you imagine what would happen if he ever coached Iverson?!?!?!
