AI is older and doesn't have the impact he used to. Teams are going to be less tolerant of this type of behavior. Besides freeing cap space at the end of the year the jury is still out on his contribution this year. Can you get the most out of Hamilton and Iverson playing together?

""He let me know how things are run around here and let me know it wasn't something that can continue to happen," Iverson said. "He let me know it was unacceptable."

AI- you are not 22 anymore.....this is bu!! sh! t
you've been in the league for a dozen years -
it is unacceptable ANYWHERE

Looks like Iverson is skating on thin ice already...

You can't teach an old dog new tricks....if he's not house trained by now he never will be.

Awwww....time to "Hug it out"!

What I can't accept is Curry's plaid jacket. He must idolize Craig Sager...

Why wasn't AI suspended for a game? Curry needs some balls. If it were one of the "scrubs" would the other players accept his absence? I think not!

The only thing missing in Iverson's statements is any actual remorse.

They know they need him ha ha !

Pistons accept Iverson's apology

*************************

That's great then, since you will be asked to accept Iverson's apology many more times before he's through. Enjoy the ride.

What's the big deal? They surely knew what they were getting when they made the trade.

"We Talkin Bout Practice..."

Dumars and Curry are FOOLS....there wasn't any games plus it was THANKSGIVING players want to be with their families and friends this is what INEXPERIENCE Coaches do ....FOOLISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe you have a point that scheduling a practice under these circumstances wasn't the right thing to do, but first of all, while Curry may be inexperienced as a coach, he played the game for years and I'm sure took knew the players' perspective and took it into account; as for Dumars, he's a consumate professional - when he played, and as a GM - he's no fool. Remember, AI reports to them, not the other way around.

The bottom line is that Iverson is the fool - whether he liked it or not, it is his responsibility to be at practice. I sure hope you're not using what might have been poor judgement by the coach/gm as an excuse for AI. Enough with making excuses for these spoiled, entitled athletes.

Iverson wasn't the FOOL this time....You don't have conditioning during this type of HOLIDAY when the TEAM is OFF...Teams very rarely have off.....if this was PLAYOFF time it would be different

What kind of Organization would schedule a CONDITIONING DAY on Thanksgiving when Family is comes first...................PLEASE

I agree that scheduling a practice on a holiday is wrong. If Iverson wanted to spend time with his family he should have asked. All his teammates were at practice when they could have been spending time with their families and that was who he let down. He was right to apologize for handling it the wrong way.
