Revisiting the trade of the season

In related news, Dan Patrick said this morning that Iverson's back problems were a result of sitting at casino tables for too long.

Iverson: Poor sport gambler

The Detroit News has reported that due to his "boorish behavior," Allen Iverson has been banned from both MGM and the Greektown Casino in downtown Detroit.

When I googled "Allen Iverson casino" I also found this gem (among many others citing his unruly behavior at casinos):

On February 24, 2004, Iverson, a noted regular casino patron, was spotted at Bally's Park Place in Atlantic City urinating in a trash can in full view of staff and patrons. He was told by casino management not to return.

Unfortunately for Iverson, he'll have to find something else to do while he's faking a back injury to avoice the embarrassment of coming off the bench for an eight seed.

Now I get it

Ever since they traded for A.I., the Denver Nuggets have perplexed me. This year they have two of the top five scorers in the league (Melo, A.I.), they have a good low-post presence in Cambe with a a solid partner in crime in Kenyon Martin and they have Kleiza and J.R. Smith to fill the holes.

So I always wondered, how do they suck so bad? Iverson was once known for his quick defense and Camby has led the league in rebounding and blocks.

Well I finally discovered why they suck so bad after watching this clip of the coaching staff:

Daily Dunk: Allen Iverson

I didn't even remember Camby playing for the Raptors...

A.I. Returns To Philly

People weren't sure if the city that once booed Santa would embrace their former star or blast him. But his introduction answered all questions:
