I started writing your name on Grantland in all caps, and with an exclamation point at the end. It has randomly caught on. The Bucks tell me they use it sometimes in internal communications. Do you know about this?
Yeah, yeah, I do. That’s awesome.
And, most importantly: Are you OK with it?
Oh, yeah! That’s fine! It’s cool.
Good. I mean, I just felt like your game merited that kind of treatment. Part of that was the emphatic shot blocks, but I have to admit, the stuff with the referees and the ejections played into it.
That’s funny. But it’s cool. Keep doing it.

His biggest struggles, obviously, were off the court during his time in Philadelphia. The guiding force for Iverson, and the man whose name he couldn't bring up without crying, was former teammate Aaron McKie.

wish he could play forever
― Clay, Thursday, 31 October 2013 17:57 (ten years ago) link
"But I'll watch tapes of AI, too. I don't take anything from AI. Well, I do -- his will. They say he was 6 feet, but AI was like 5-10½. Do we even want to say 160? 170 [pounds]? Do we even want to give him that much weight? And he played like a 6-8 2-guard. He was one of the greatest finishers we've ever seen. You could never question his heart. Ever. He gave it his all. AI was like my second-favorite player growing up, after MJ."

Asik had 14 boards last night, so he and Dwight combined for 40. Pretty good.

― Aimless, Thursday, 31 October 2013 20:42 (ten years ago) link
probably, but at the same time i really buy that they want Asik/Howard to work. (there's just no cool way to combine those two names, sadly. Asward? Howsik?) in much the same way i think Lin/Beverly are kind of a cool second team wreck crew. how many teams can transition from a two towers rebounding and paint protecting behemoth to rapidfire small ball like that?

im sure dwight will figure it out (the stupid name, that is) if asik sticks around.

i got a lot of pleasure at asik's hang dog and exhausted looking put-uponness last year--paired with dwight he seems like the long-suffering straight man in a bad comedy routine.

Shaw is a Triangle guy and it's a post offense.
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 31 October 2013 23:07 (ten years ago) link
IMO when they get Gallo back they should run the post with him a lot since he's the best passer on the team.
Apparently the Kings declined Fredette's option.

the asik-howard dynamic reminds me of perfect strangers except the straight man is the euro and the wacky guy with bad fashion sense is the american
also they're not cousins
― z-time champion (agent hibachi), Thursday, 31 October 2013 23:42 (ten years ago) link
im sure someone will give jimmer one more cheap contract- probably a contender looking for threes off the bench- but the league is p close to full employment right now and there is a deep draft coming
of course the likes of daequan cook and james jones hung around forever so who knows

feel like seeing Asik's slumped shouldered dejection in the background behind Dwight beaming his huge smile is gonna be my enduring memory of this season. i dont think i've ever seen Asik smile once and i watched like 95% of the rockets games last year.
― ryan, Thursday, 31 October 2013 23:50 (ten years ago) link
