    Even though i made a promise to boycott the Allstar game, I sneaked a peak at the 4th quarter, and well worth it. Iverson was all over the place. Thankfully for him, he didn't have Steve Francis man-marking him, or else we would be seeing the MVP trophy coming back to a certain Houston house.

    Yea, but i put it here because I wanted to see what you guys had to say about Francis being a better player than Iverson, especially after last week's game.

    lived,

    I have recently changed something as a courtesy to others. Posters like you are about to spoil it and force me to change my sig back to the way it was.

    Since it would have been Francis' first all-star game, I don't think he would have been able to shut down, or match Allen Iverson. He would need experience playing in all-star games to duplicate a performance like Allen's. Also, he probably wouldn't have gotten very many minutes. He wouldn't have been playing when it counted. I know for sure that Francis-Iverson is going to be an amazing all-star matchup for years to come.

    Mango: Say what? What was your sig?

    Yea, Kobe was trying to hog the ball and finish the game. But he did a lamers pass to Duncan when he knew he couldn't get the shot off.

    Steve would have done a helluva lot better than Finley, who just bricked fadeaway after fadeaway. The other team just left him open on purpose.
