AI was arguably more popular than Kobe at one point. Kobe didn't pass AI in popularity until about the mid 2000's.

 

I grew up in that era and Iverson was definitely the most popular player at least around my area. Most kids at school would have an Iverson jersey. 

Yup.  I was an MJ and AI guy my whole life.  Spent tons of money on their gear, shoes, merch, etc.

Until I lived in Charlotte and “met” both personally.  👎🏽 Not good to fans at all, IMO.  Both of them.  Pretty weak.

Yeah I think AI lives in Charlotte. He was at the game vs Philly the other night.

 

Sucks that he was mean to you.

He def lives in Charlotte.  He wasn’t mean exactly, he just doesn’t allow fans to even acknowledge him like the good ones do.  Like don’t even look at me bro.  Same with MJ.

I knew MJ was a jerk. Dude doesn't even have social media. He thinks he's above everyone.

Down 6, Up 7, Down 9 in five game minutes.

Hornets go on a 24-7 run with our stars lighting it up, Clips immediately follow with a 17-4 run.

We had Miles and Rozier both on the bench during that run while PG13, Harden, and Westbrook were all playing.

Steve Clifford WHAT?

That’s basically every Hornets game I watch. They’re all the same. They go down by 10-15, battle back to make it a one possession game, lose by 10. It’s beyond frustrating.

Seriously, what else does Clifford need to do to show he is not it?  We need a new coach to go with the new ownership, are they too scared to do anything?

Allen Iverson.

I was beyond surprised as well, but that was straight from their mouths.

AI was a beast.  One of my favorites as well, but it’s hard to fathom THOSE DUDES idolized Iverson over MJ or Kobe. 

Allen Iverson was great no doubt.  I could see it

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
