Iverson’s Manager: Turkey Talks ‘Very Serious’

damn, what happened yesterday? id guess some slam writer went at dude hard. id guess crawford. what happened??????

I, personally think someone posted in his name.

All you have to do is click on his name, man.
And, there is something for everybody.
PAPALOUKAS is my guy.
They all were cool.
That whole team…
Man, you’d better look them up.

For those who think they were so “annoying”, and what have you, I’ll say this.
I can vouch that many up here consider themselves with high regard intellectually. See themselves as learned, and smart.
Self righteous.
If some people were so “learned”, then dealing with different personalities, ESPECIALLY on the internet should not be such a chore.
This is worldwide, brethren.
Not some little back yard in a corner somewhere.
There are worldly views up here. Not everyone is trapped in a bubble.
One can argue that some people on these very threads have never taken the time to even view another person’s opinion from an angle that is not their own angle. Never have put themselves in another one’s position.

@Philosopher: Wait…are you telling me that you think greek dude was actually a pro just because his name links to a baller’s page? The dude went by several aliases during his time on SLAM and all of them linked to different baller’s pages. I mean, I could link my name to Michael Jordan’s page, but you wouldn’t think I’m Jordan would you? But besides that point, being a “pro” doesn’t excuse anyone from being an ass.

I think your first guess was right.

@lorenzo
He doesn’t have to be a pass first point guard…because he’s a two guard. There are plenty of players in the league now who don’t make their teammates better and don’t have rings. The fact that a man with the career that AI has had cannot get one offer from not one team in the league is a disgrace, no matter how you cut it. He should not be playing in Turkey, China or anywhere else besides the NBA. Period.
And who cares if Fotsis used to play or does play or whatever? His comments about AI and everything else on here are idiotic, plain and simple.

Many of us want to “make a name” for oneself trying to humiliate a pro, and people go out of their way to try to make that happen.
It HAS to be bothersome to them.

Damn.
Well…
It is what it is.

@Philosopher: It seemed pretty obvious to me that it was one guy. Unless all those different people all called Iverson “Anna” and had the same terrible grammar and writing style with all the (annoying) parenthesis and ALL CAPS and the >>>>>>>exaggerations. I don’t have a problem with his opinions or viewpoint, I just had a problem with how never listened to other’s viewpoints while making outlandish comparisons, how he kept belittling other commenters and kept spamming his jibberish over and over again. Trying to read his comments gave me a headache — for real.

I’m curious as to what happened. Can someone point me to the thread where this occurred?

Could it be cause Bryan Crawford gave us his real name and was willing to share his email address?

And if BC reads this, I didn’t mean to bust you out like that. My bad.

Final thoughts on the funny fella from Greece:
-He only means about 70% of what he says. The other 30% is just to make his point heard loud and clear
-He knows basketball
-He knows how to press buttons
(You can only be annoyed at him, if you take what he says at face value)
-He is funny.
All in all, I will miss his comments. He was something different and always elicited interesting responses.
And Brian Crawford, I admire your candor, but for your sake, you seriously need to chill. You’re like Rasheed Wallace. Unfiltered. It’s fun to watch, but us viewers have nothing on the line. You kind of do.

@ Antonis Fotsis: I hope this isn’t really your last time commenting. It was good getting to talk basketball and read your comments, even if I didn’t agree with all of them. Good luck learning all those languages (including Zhong Wen!) and following basketball from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Peace, man.

I still remember when Greek dude said that JR Smith, yes, JR Smith. Could have led the 2001 Sixers to the finals.

i miss ai already

i read the comments from the post, unless stuff was deleted, i didnt see anything too bad. crawford calling him by actual name might be bad, depending on how he obtained the info. threatening to post his email was def bad. those things are def unprofessional, but not to extreme. i dont know if something else was posted, then later deleted.

Shout out to the Chilean government.
They are performing the greatest mining rescue effort of All Times.
Shout out to the Chilean miners.

All I know is, I would much rather read B.Crawford’s comments than many, many other peoples on here so I hope ya’ll aren’t giving him the hiatus treatment over the greek guys baiting and trolling. Honestly, the greek guy was text book violating the “commenting rules” here at slam, so maybe if there was more actual enforcement of those rules (especially with someone like the greek who violated most of them in a run on sentence in one post)then it would not have gotten to this point. The fact that he had to point out that he thought it was unprofessional and it insulted him and that SLAM apologized just reinforces my perception of him as a spoiled little brat (a Kiddie?) who has t point out how he is always right (even when everyone wants to punch him in the face for how wrong and disrespectful he is). The greek dude was like the Eric Cartman of SLAM online…when his own actions brought upon some serious Karma, he managed to spin it somehow into his favor (at least in his own mind). I have never really mixed it up with greek dude and although I found some of his comments worthwhile, I mainly just wanted him STFU! Or at least tone it down. You reap what you sow. The only person who created this situation was SPanny himself so…spare him the sympathy everyone…it just encourages him.

Another great player that will never see an NBA TITLE, and the list continues…

The only rule BC broke was THREATENING to reveal his e-mail, which he never did.
There’s no rule that says real names wont be published.
On the other hand, Spany broke countless rules for personal attacks and trolling.
Good riddance.
Also, Philo, c’mon bro! You couldn’t figure out Spanny was one disgruntled Greek fan? He never claimed to be any of those players, and actually revealed a lot about himself quite a lot (he played basketball, but it appeared to be amateur or semi-professional). He never was in any professional league.
For someone who gave me a 45 minute diatribe about trusting no one, you fell for that one pretty bad.

Look, if the question is whether or not i have violated the conversation rules here i say that i have done so 100% and many-many times. To the question “why i was never banned” i always thought that this happened cause ALWAYS i’ve been attacking guys ONLY after i’ve been provoked repeatedly from the other part(but maybe i’m wrong). The bottom line is that there is a HUGE difference between banning/insulting/whatever somebody in a virtual forum and going on and publishing part of his/her personal data.It was not my name, it was a part of my e-mail address (that Bryan considered it to be my name). To me this is serious, this is on a completely different level(believe it or not i ALSO wanted through this to protect in a way others in order not to have similar problems in the future). Anyway, tihs now belongs to the past.
P.S.: There were some posters that i have attacked in the past, (Eboy a million of times,Philosopher,tealish,teddy,etc) that were able to see ABOVE&BEYOND their justified dislike towards me and see the BIG PICTURE and what was at stake. This doesn’t change their opinion towards me and my ideas. BUT it does say SOMETIHNG about them. Now, does this really matter? i think that in a place were you never actually meat somebody( and everything is virtual) PROPABLY not. But,luckily there is also real life and some certain human characteristics usually are aproprietelly awarded.

I don’t care.
Spanny is a pro until someone proves to me that he is not.
Period.
Shout out to the Greeks.
I’m reaching.
But…

Philo: Click my name…….is that all it takes to make you believe im a NBA player LOL
