Allen Iverson

A lot to report on in the NBA lately, including potentially the greatest Hall of Fame class being inducted this week, but that will be covered later in the week. The big story in the NBA today was the potential signing of Allen Iverson to the Memphis Grizzlies. Iverson broke this news to the greater public by way all mainstream stories are seemingly broke now-a-days…Twitter. This is an interesting signing and for all the Grizzlies may or may not lack in team chemistry, they make up for it with overall team talent. Let’s look at what the Grizzlies are bringing [...]

  Full disclosure: In a matter of days I will become the managing partner of the Los Angeles Clippers.    I’m very excited about the challenge ahead of me and am quite confident that the Clippers will be a winning basketball team starting this season.   Even though I will be extremely busy, I want to assure you that I will continue to post on a weekly basis at Sir Charles In Charge.  Although it has been a relatively slow week in the NBA, here are a few links to get you through the day: Hamed Haddadi is a big star and the Memphis Grizzlies just don’t [...]

I had planned today to do some writing about Stephon Marbury – only to find this article halfway through what I had intended to post, so I scrapped my origina plan and decided on something else. The author of said article was John Krolik and it was written for SLAM Online. Again, it is very well done and is titled – Requiem for a Shooter: How Did Steph Get To Where He Is Now?  – seriously click over and read, it is well worth the time. And since a piece on Marbury has been done, I am going to go in [...]

  The man who pulls no punches is back to answer the questions of the week… 1)  Do you think Anthony Randolph will become an all-star caliber player next season?  The last Warriors player to make a splash in the NBA Summer League was Marco Bellineli and for the most part he’s just been a scrub on the end of the bench during the season.  That said, I really like Randolph’s game and think he could develop into a more athletic version of David Robinson.  Apparently Jay Bilas thinks so too.  After reading Justin DeFeo’s article on SCIC yesterday about Randolph, Bilas sent the following tweet:  6 references to length in [...]

Allen Iverson The Answer?  These days Allen Iverson is more like The Cancer.  The Denver Nuggets started gelling as a team immediately after Iverson’s departure and the arrival of Chauncey Billups while the Pistons imploded thanks in part to AI’s reaction to coming off the bench behind Rip Hamilton. Now an unrestricted free agent, Iverson is threatening to retire if his next head coach also has the audacity not to make him an every day starter.  Although I don’t have an M.D. after my name,  I feel reasonably confident in diagnosing AI with an acute case of Favreitis. Symptoms of this vexing condition include an inability to recognize a [...]
