Eddie Jordan Wants Iverson to Start

Well, that’s certainly one way to ensure that A.I.’s return to Philly won’t be a total disaster: “We’re looking at a couple options,’ said coach Eddie Jordan when asked about his rotation once Iverson is in uniform. ‘One of the options we’re looking at is obviously, I would like him to start. I haven’t talked to the team about it, but it’s a thought process. When I make that decision I will talk to the team first and then will tell you guys. I’m really looking to see if he can fit into our starting lineup, but it’s not etched in stone.’ It would be hard to imagine Iverson not starting come Monday, particularly after his disdain of sitting on the bench led to his parting with the Memphis Grizzlies earlier this season. Add to that what the fan reaction might be when he is announced, it certainly would be a nice change to what has been a very quiet Wachovia Center.”

    @rikson-read ur earlier comment that prompted my response. People who have to always say “that’s not what I meant” should keep their 2 cents in their pocket. period.

    @travoris: I never said “thats not what I meant” all I said was “Thats not what I said” -> there is a big difference. In addition I dont get your problem with “thats not what I meant”, as conversation will ALWAYS bring misunderstanding with it…

    @rikson, this is getting tedious, but what do you mean by “Thanks Philly, AI hasnt learned a thing – again!”? How do you know that-by EJ saying he plans to start Iverson? Could it be that Jordan is the only coach he had of the last 3 that actually CARED ABOUT WINNING? Or should Iverson come off the bench behind Willie Green and Royal Ivey?

    Iverson back in Philly….. I LOVE it!!! Iverson can still play, it may not be the 2001 Iverson, but The Answer still has something left in the tank. & this team is better than when he left, Iggy & Thadeous fillin the lanes; Big Brand inside, it’ll be fun to watch & see what happens in Philly.

    @travoris: Maybe just a misunderstanding! YES!!! AI should come off the bench, not because of his talent, he is without doubt better than those two, but to learn a thing or two. Or do you think that he has made the right decisions the last 2 years? He will never learn learn like this, thats my point dude!

    rikson, ur last comment just proved my point about your earlier comment.

    Rikson
    So, you’re advocating that Iverson should be taught a lesson. Like a child.
    At 34-years old.
    Yeah, that’s not going to happen.

    Allenp-he said that he didn’t say that. But, then he said it again.
