Allen Iverson & The Dallas Cowboys w/pics

[Bob Sacamano]

Tyrone Lue was his name.

I defy anyone to name a less talented team that ever made the NBA finals. That team had AI and a bunch of guys that tried hard to play decent defense.

the '99 Spurs were pretty talentless, a bunch of old guys and Tim Duncan

luckily they were playing Latrell Sprewell and Charlie Ward

 

[the kid 05]

no he admitted it during a monday night football when the giants were playing somebody like 2 years ago.

then i stand corrected

I never thought I'd see Big G (Anwan Glover) on Cowboyszone. Peep the tall darkskin dude in the last pic on the first page. He's a "go-go" music legend and an iconic street figure in DC. He also played Slim Charles from the HBO series "The Wire".

Yea I peeped him too. But tell me this? *** is he doing wearing a Bmore jersey? I neva thought I'd see a dude from the city EVER rocking anything Baltimore lol. That's worse than wearing the silver and blue

And I thought I was the only one on here who recognized him (other than maybe a few "Wire" fans)! And Caes, in case you didn't know, US COWBOYS' FANS RUN DA CITY!!! Just look around!

David Robinson was still around back then - future HOFer. Sean Elliott was still pretty good back then before his kidney problems started. Avery Johnson was also a decent PG back then.

AI played on a team with Eric Snow, George Lynch, Tyrone Hill and Dikembe Mutombo - every single one of them were below average offensive players. Snow and Lynch were good defenders and Mutombo could still rebound and block a few shots.

I still think Iverson is the most unique player I've ever seen play basketball. No one plays the game the way he does. Others are better, but I can't think of anyone you would ever say plays like him.

 

[Deep_Freeze]

Yeah, I'm just a huge Iverson fan really, have email addresses with his name still in it. He has always been a Cowboy fan, so this comes as no real shock to me at all.

His football skills have been mentioned, as I will add he was both Virginia state football and basketball player of the year.......that should tell you enough about his football skills.

The quickness and speed he shows on the court are second to noone who has ever played the game. He has always looked like he is running around on ice skates, and it looks even crazier in person.

that is a good point..Big G made the Zone

 

[The Panch]

for some reason i doubt that, seeing how hes very proud that hes from new york, i'd guess hes a giants fan

And I bet he celebrated when the Giants won like all the other bandwagon New Yorkers.

There are sooooo many Cowboy fans here. I wonder if people in Dallas know that there's a huge Cowboy fanbase in DC. I knew they were up here. But not this many.

Might be a little late to respond to this , but what the hell.

The one key guy you missed was Aron Mckie. He was HUGE for that team. He was the sixth man, but it was more like 6 and a half. He was the back-up Point Guard, Shooting Guard and Small Forward. He'd end up playing 40 mins!

The starting line-up was all defensive specialists surrounding Iverson and they'd move Mckie from spot to spot to juice up the O.
The last 5 mins of the game they'd basically go 3 guards with him, Iverson and Snow to close it out.

Aron was not known as all-star type guy or a prolific scorer. What he was though was clutch. He had good range and was actually the teams best 3 point shooter.

With the game on the line you wanted the ball in Iverson's hands. But for the last second open jump shot that you had to have, Mckie was the guy. I don't care if it was a 12 footer or a 3 pointer, it was money.

I've seen a lot of better players, but I've never seen a player whose game improved as much as the pressure mounted. He might shoot 45% for the game or the season, but with 2 mins left in the game, it seemed like he shot 90%.

There's a Cowboys bar in DC that I forget the name of. I used to get weekly emails from there, but have since changed email addresses. Anyone know?

Yeah, I just wish injuries didn't slow Mckie down so much, he was never quite the same after that season. But for that season, he was money in the bank.

They were all one on one defensive specialists, not really going to put up pretty numbers on the stat sheet, but were lock down defenders one on one. This is a very underrated aspect of defensive basketball, their defensive FG% that year was very good. Course they ran into the only 2 players they couldn't shut down one on one, Kobe (even though they did a good job on him) and Shaq.

I hated that Deke trade at the time, but then again, I hated the Iverson trade too. Least Brand is in the house now.

McKie was good that year but also clearly a role player and spotup shooter who could not create his own shots. He fed off open looks that Iverson could get him and was never really an upper-echelon shooter.

I still say that is one of the weakest starting lineups to ever get to the finals and they managed to do so because AI played over his head that year and in those playoffs.

While Snow was a good defender, Lynch was a positional defender who was slow and could get taken advantage of on the perimeter. Hill was a decent rebounder and positional defender but lacked explosiveness to intimidate down low. Mutombo was a decent post-defender but his quickness and agility were shot by that point in time.

This was really a remarkable coaching job by Larry Brown - capitalized on an incredibly weak Eastern division and the heart of his team to get them to the finals where they were unfortunately beaten by the Lakers - man I hated that team.

Do three or four pics have players flashing signs?

Why are yew guys so excited over this tiny but great basketball player with a ganstah profile in much of his life, wearing the Cowboys blue.

Cowboys blue should mean something.
Like good guys wearing it. Also fat guys.
But the point is, I don't feel comfortable with anybody associating the Cowboys -- through merchandise or personal appearances or associations -- with the Allan Iversons of the world.

Not the image the Cowboys want or should be associated with.
If I hurt your feelings, play G.O.A.T. and get over your persecution complex.

Womp womp womp. We had worse characters on our 90's dynasty teams.

Characters who play.
There is no upside to the Cowboys and their fans associating with this, uh, wannabe gangsta.
Womp.

Let's take back our NFL football.

Wish I were a rich gangsta with no criminal record like AI. It's cool how the playing field is starting to even out as time goes by.

So he's supposed to please you and your friends? Just like the biker dudes and their weird look, guess what, I could care less what they look like as long as they are a productive member of society and not hurting anyone.
