Is He The Answer?

For a lot of teams, probably not.

Allen Iverson is a great player, a fierce competitor, a true warrior. He earns every dollar paid him whenever he steps onto the court. Yeah, he doesn't like practices. And yeah, he's a head case. But you can't deny that he is one hell of a friggin' player.

Where should he go, now that Philly doesn't want him? Boston wants him, but the Sixers would be crazy to trade him to a division rival. I mean, can you imagine AI going back to Philly in a Celtics' uniform? He's going to shove it to the Sixers. He's going to make them pay for treating him like crap. So giving him to the Celtics... suicidal.

About the only team with a coach who can handle him is the Lakers. I mean, if Phil Jackson can handle the likes of Dennis Rodman, and the ego of Michael Jordan, he can handle AI. I guarantee it. I don't know if an Iverson-Kobe backcourt will work out, but if anyone can make it work, it's the Phil Jackson.

God, that would be such an ill backcourt.
