Player of the D.A.Y.
He will never slow down. Ever.
Joe Johnson hit a buzzer beater to win an NBA game in which he was one of the better performers. That should usually be a given Player of the D.A.Y. no questions asked, but the opponent… Minnesota is now 2-15 with that loss. The MVP race could come down to the following criteria: which team is worse, the T-Wolves without KG or the Cavs without LeBron? The answer: give it to Dwight Howard and let’s never re-visit that debate.
Speaking of “The answer” (ugh… that was bad), Allen Iverson is the youngest 32 year old ever. He followed up a 51 point game with 35 and 12 with 6 steals against Dallas, leading all players in the game in minutes with 42. This was on the back end of a back-to-back. When is he supposed to break down again?
Have a great weekend everyone.

51 and 8 assists followed by 35 and 12!!!!! What the… i mean, what the…..??? Jesus effing Christ A.I. is a machine, to hell with T-Dunc Robot, Allen’s the real cyborg here. He’s my age, my height and i can hardly play through my regional league games over here in the alps and that guy is still whizzing about making fools look like, well fools?! I bow before his greatness, what a player.

Iverson could defenitley play for another 5-7 years. Most guards who don’t carry alot of extra weight last a long time. Look at Darrel Armstrong, he’s like 39 or something, and not nearly as talented as A.I. but still in the league.

And regarding the Guvner of Georgia (yeah, he wishes), don’t you dare utter another negative word about a guard who weighs as much as you next 10 course dinner. Iverson is a B-Ball miracle, and that’s that.

i didn’t watch the nuggs/lakers game, but i think other nuggs were missing dimes dropped by AI, so he probably could have gotten a double double at least. that’s just sick.

Sometimes, i wonder to myself what it would have been like if Iverson was born a couple thousand years ago and was a roman gladiator instead of a basketball player. Total domination.

I think AI can put up these kind of numbers whenever he feels like it.

He’s clearly on the downswing of his career. I mean you only get one chance to get a PG of Andre Miller’s caliber every, what, once every 1000 years? I mean if you don’t make that trade then you’re obviously incompetent. Right guys?

Billy King: The shocking thing to me was when Lang pointed out the other day that Andre Miller is 32! That means that Jason Kidd must be 46, Jamal Mashburn is 52 and Alex English is dead.

A.I. is going be the only hope for this team to survive night in and night out. Melo can’t do it on his own and all he does is score. Iverson is to that point in his career where he can freakin still cross your ankles like shoe laces or he can pass out dimes like a waitress does food. It is really freakin amazing he still has the endurance to keep his gangsta on. play wit it.

He’s gonna pass Larry Bird in career points by the All-Star break. Then just Payton and Drexler stand between him and top-20 all-time (and he should pass both of them by the end of the season).

Billy King says:
Some may say Miller is getting old. I just say he’s vintage. A vintage PG is hard to come by nowadays. How could I forget Derrick Byars, who I selected with Denver’s pick. He has a lot of poten…oh wait, he’s not in the league anymore. Nonetheless, I think I got the better of Kiki…muahahaha
