Don't forget, one time league MVP. I neg repped him and called him a moron. It felt good, kinda like Christmas.
Single-handedly by choice in one of the weakest conferences of all-time. How did the series with The Lakers play out again? How did Philly do after he left? Did Denver get better when he was there or get worse when he left? What about the Pistons? I seriously forget, guys. Help me out here.

Did you ever watch Iverson in his prime? I mean, I know he was a chucker, but dude was special in his prime and he was far past that when he was with Denver. Also Philly had Iverson and who? Lakers had? Yeah, that's right, guy. Trying to rip on someone by using a Iverson analogy isn't really ripping on them. Especially at the 12th pick guy. Please, it's not that hard to understand.
I'm not going to argue over AI and his career achievements because that is not the point. The subject is AI was overvalued the same way Brooks is. I strongly disagree with the fact that AI was overvalued because that would mean he had to win multiple championships in order to meet expectations. Can you prove such expectations existed when he was drafted? If not then your comparison is false.

Why wouldn't I? You're coming after me like I ****ed your mother (which I did, but that's beside the point).

I don't like the comparison of Brooks to Iverson. Very different games, different positions, roles, etc. Iverson was a game-changer in his day, and he did lead an otherwise nondescript Sixers team to the Finals.
As far as the workout with Burks goes, Brooks is the more finished product and the better scorer right now, so you can't read too much into that. The question is whether Brooks could keep up with Burks physically. Burks is being projected based on his athleticism. Brooks should be a crafty scorer and defensively competent player in the NBA, a thrid-option on offense and a player with a fairly complete game. Despite the comparisons with Kobe, Brooks' athleticism and potential as a scorer is closer to Brandon Roy, though I think he'd be a slightly poor-man's Brandon Roy.

This.
Iverson was the #1 pick in the draft. Brooks will go in the middle of the first round somewhere. I don't see how Brooks is overvalued. Let him get drafted first.
