Default "We're Talking About Practice"

http://tsn.ca/nba/story/?id=257525&l...headlines_main

Looks like Iverson did it again. Missing practice on US Thanksgiving. Sounds like he's going to get fined and possibly benched for the next game.

And for those who didn't get the reference...



Looks like he spoofed himself at the trade to Detroit presser...



Iverson could have been one of the most dominant players to ever play the game, dropping 50 at will in his first two seasons. But his head, and mom, got in the way of what was a promising career. He's a shell of his former self, and no rings to show for it. I don't think he has the same arguement at this stage of his career to miss practice.

This move will only be scrutinized in 2010 when the Pistons try and land one of the big 3 FAs

That practice take is one of the greatest ever ... but I do love "They were who we thought they were" as well ...

He's right. The guy gets so banged up in games and excels at his position. I'd give him a practice off here and there as long as he performs. I'm a firm believer there should be star treatment. The team will only be as good as their best players. If they keep performing, then no practice for them!

Or two. Sign Bosh and both LBJ and DWade would look long and hard at the Pistons. Wouldn't be a stretch to see two of the three end up in Mo-town. Can you imagine an LBJ-Bosh one-two punch?

How could I forget about "I'm a man! I'm 40!" That is a classic of the highest order!
