Instead of speculating where Iverson might move to, and when, and for who, and why....can I just say how little I care about where Iverson's bloated ego ends up? Who is the most complete all-round player in the NBA today? It's either LeBron, or it's Kobe. LeBron is a quiet, respectful, unselfish ballplayer. Kobe became twice as good when he BECAME a quiet, respectful, unselfish ballplayer and stopped squabbling with Shaq, Phil Jackson and pretty much the rest of the planet. Allen Iverson is a loud, disrespecting, arrogant, self-effacing ballplayer and a member of a dying breed of b-ball stars unlikely to be seen in the sport again. Again he's the centre of attention, and again it's for the wrong reasons - unlike guys like James, KG32, Kobe and Pau, who make the headlines for the RIGHT ones. All he wants to do is yap, yap, yap. Who really wants to listen? Iverson should realise the shame that comes from being kicked out of your own team and learn some HUMILITY. Kobe did it - so can he.

As a footnote, I'm not the biggest Kobe fan either - I'm Fightin' Irish, I'm a LeBron man - but for a guy to change his persona to make himself and his team better...you have to have some time for that.

Thanks for the comments on Kobe. You do have to respect the guy for the changes he has made these couple of seasons. And I do agree on u about Iverson bein a cocky, arrogant, and overpaid player. But u should actually care about where he goes because it can greatly affect the entire league. U don't have to like him, because I don't, but u should have some concern of where he goes.

Iverson demanded a trade. He led his team to a finals appearance and several playoff appearances. I care where he goes. Basketball fans care where he goes. None of the players you mentioned are on the trading blocks (except for the occasional Garnett rumors) so what do they have to do with an Iverson trade? He is an historical scorer and a solid player who is going to make some team different, not necessarily better or worse, but different. It is things like this that make NBA basketball interesting. Who cares if he's a jackass. It's the media's fault that we even know stuff like this. I don't care what kind of a guy he is if he helps his team win ball games. If you think Kobe is humble you are insane. Kobe is into to doing whatever Kobe has to do to solidify his place in NBA history. The only growth he has experienced is discovering that he can't win a championship by himself. In closing, I care about where Iverson goes. Regardless of his personality. You need to stop reading the sports pages and check out the gossip pages.

I strongly disagree. He is among the greater gamers within the league, principally for his dimension, and he carried Phila to the finals on his again. He is an wonderful participant to observe play the sport and I wish he wins a championship with Melo over in Denver. I'm a brand new Nuggets fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!one million

all of what u have said is true....but the reason for the huge amount of speculation is because of his talent. it is hard to deny his talent (6 time all star and mvp). he can change the face of a whole team/division/confrence. but im pretty sure most will agree with you in that allen does not have a very good personality.

Yeah sh$t, who wouldn't want a player who is the league leader in PPG, averages over 7 dimes a game, 2 steals and plays his butt off in games? Well I want him on my Twolves team w/ Ticket. KG is unselfish and wouldn't mind giving AI his 25-30 shots a game.

whoever he goes to is going to be a much better team. i would be worried if he ends up in dallas or denver or even boston. he would make any of those teams championship contenders. that's why people care so much.

i care because i am a HUGE fan of his...and if you don't care about him and where he ends up, then why did you take the time out to not only ask this question but to also back it up with 11+ sentence paragraph...that's a lot for someone who doesn't care
