He's in the twilight of his storied career and this can and possibly will be the last opportunity he has to play in an all star game. The fans voted him on, meaning at least 2mm people wanna see this guy play and people, like myself just love watching AI ball.
On the other hand, he's played sporadically, had a huge debacle in the beginning of the season, and has been finally hit with the injury bug, and on top of it his averages this season are well below his career averages. Statistically this is the worst year of his career.
I am honestly at a cross road on this myself, its really a tough spot to be in. The right thing to do is to relinquish your starting spot and give someone who's younger a chance, somebody like Rajon Rondo, he's been carrying the Celtics all season long, plays the one spot and should finally get his just due. Iverson moves to the bench but still remains an all star and it would be considered a classy move, passing of the torch so to speak. It could essentially wipe away any tarnish and shit from his storied career over the last couple seasons. He could go out the right way.....
But that's wishful thinking, we're talking about the NBA, after the NFL the biggest egos in the sports world are here. Let's see how it shapes out and how its perceived by his peers. In my opinion the venue this year is crazy, the cowboys stadium, but so far these two all star teams are a little blahhh...
They really need to change things and bring the prestige back to the NBA All Star weekend. My predictions, hmmmm....
East wins by 12....Lebron James wins your all star mvp because even in a recreation game, Lebron is still looking to pad his stats.
