Allen Iverson - First introduction at the Palace

[swishablowa420]

If only we knew this would be the final chapter of the downfall.....

[MrDurant123]

the intro just dosent fell the same without chauncey :(

[ThePistons4life]

why do pistons fans think pistons would have won another championship with Billups?...i loved Billups but the pistons were on a decline...he should have broke them all up long ago....we werent gonna win another ring with that team even if they kept Ben Wallace...The League changed from 2004, everybody was faster and the NBA didnt allow the pistons to play defense like they did then,..2008..we blew it vs Boston what makes you think the next year we were gonna do better?

[TrueTalkTV]

Listen to that crowd reaction for Allen Iverson

[holton620]

It was the dame coach fault!!!!!! If we still had brown or flip and they added iverson, it would of been championship city in the D

[drbnzballa1]

I love AI. He's a great player and will probably be a future hall of famer. When I heard we got AI I was excited because he's one of my favorite players, when I heard we got him by getting rid of chauncey I knew it was a mistake. He's a talented player no doubt, just wasn't a good fit here.

[adi1096]

Allen THEE IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IVERSON

[cnajor1019]

if we got wade, bosh, melo, in that draft then we still would of got sheed we would still be winning titles even in the 2010 season we didnt even need ben he got washed up when he went to chicago and then how stupid to give ben gordon a big contract r u fkin kiddin me

[goblue237]

sad to think billups wasnt here

[patron1202]

what is the name of the song playing in the background during the intro???

[DarthRevan70]

Even Chauncey Billups said the Darko pick was a bad one. If they got Carmelo... they would all be still in Detroit killing it.

[cnajor1019]

@DarthRevan70  dam dumars fucked the pistons up for the next 5-10 yrs

[adi1096]

@cnajor1019

Pistons kept losing in the Conf Finals so he needed cap space to get new players so he made the trade

[Radcliffe16]

RIP CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BORN2HATE666]

man i wish this trade never happend..

[mj234595]

hello amigo nao tem como voçe colocar esse jogo ou algum outro do iverson no detroit inteiro por que eu queria um jogo dele inteiro nos pistons tem como voçe por por parte thanks

[MrJohnnyazn]

i cried just reading your comment...........GAY! yeah, detroit isnt goin anywhere, they can blame a.i. but i think it was the coach. didnt use A.I. the way he should have....breakin down the defense.

[walkingfridge81]

EVERYTHING that could have went wrong last year did.

AI refused to accept a 6th man role.

curry was an awful coach.

sheed played the laziest ball i've ever seen.

now we got gordon, CV31, and wilcox.

gordon averaged 24 ppg in the playoffs last year, and he embraces the 6th man role unlike AI.

per 36, CV31 averaged 22 ppg, 9 rpg, and 1 bpg.

wilcox was a 14 and 8 player only a few years ago, and he's still only 27; he has never played in a winning environment.

[MrKdogg123]

Also....the organization tricked RIP into signing that 3 or 4 year deal. But I think a few hours after he signed, they traded away possibly his best friend, Billups. I was so sad to hear that, how they did that to him. In the Deroit paper, it said that RIP and Tay marched up to where Billups was staying and broke him the news, they all started crying (well except Prince lol), as gay as that sounds, I would too with all the memories lol. WallaceX2,Rip,Tay,Billups=No star talent but...04 CHIP! =D

[MrKdogg123]

i'm a huge fan of DET but people need to realize, this was for future, this was for salary cap space, if A.I. agreed to come off the bench that would be a bouns to the trade. The goal though was cap space. I remember when I got a text from ESPN, I was like "WTF!!?? are you kidding this is some bullshit! but i realized what the trade was for.

[ieddiej]

Every Pistons fan was happy that Iverson was going to the Pistons.

Once the TEAM started losing, they blamed Iverson. Iverson can win all by himself but doesn't do it. I don't blame Iverson, I blame the trade.

[Brewhaman]

I never was happy with that trade....EVER!

[mustanggt12382]

Iverson is a bum he can't play as a team player.

[ieddiej]

That was true when he first started. He has many assists in one game. Look at what he did for the Sixers, he made them playoff material. Too bad being on the Pistons didn't work out.

[rkccballer2011]

shut ur mouth dude i live in detroit and am a die hard pistons trade. most people thought it was a dumb trade and iverson deserves to be blamed. before he came the pistons were dominant

[ieddiej]

Really? I think I hear loud cheering once his name was announced.

Please don't talk for your population. You were mad about the trade but most people weren't mad till AFTER they started losing.

[rkccballer2011]

everyone knew in detroit why we traded chauncey...for the future. i mean look who the pistons picked up this offseason...

[nintendopistonsfan45]

that trade sucks AI needs to go to a bad team he is a ball hog detriot was a team that was a bad trade billups is way better

pistons are good

[iLuvNikeBlazers]

Dude are you serious? The Pistons suck. They don't even sell tickets.

[BORN2HATE666]

they led the league in attendence for 7 years straight, this is the first year they didnt sell out every game.. portland sucks also.

[DraikonZ3]

the trade did suck but a.i doesnt hes just not a good team leader but he can play good.

[Brewhaman]

AI in the Red, White and Blue=Disaster!

Hope JoeD learned something on this one, look at what Chauncey is doing right now, he's about to beat Kobe cheese again!

[datboicold77]

You r wrong Kobe beat billups

[Brewhaman]

yeah, yeah, yeah....just saying for Billups to be traded for AI messed up the team we had in Dtown.

Kudos to Kobe, he's been under scrutiny since shaq left LA. Glad he shut the critics up.

[MrJohnnyazn]

ummm....pau gasol trade help that out alot...look at his support staff.....look at his coach...dont give kobe all the credit. now that he has artest...the team makes kobe more than kobe makes the team...i mean...they almost lost to houson without yao or mcgrady....i'm gonna have to go check how kobe did that series..

[lakers15xchamps]

@MrJohnnyazn ur a duche, artest aint more important than kobe,r u serious, whos the one hitting clutch shots at the end

[MrJohnnyazn]

oh really? u must be talking about the game winner against MEMPHIS!! ha, yeah memphis is good, oh i think he missed a 3 to tie the game with 25 seconds left last night...and i think the lakers just went 4-1 w/o kobe...i never said artest was better than kobe u dingleberry, i said that Kobe needs the TEAM more than the TEAM needs kobe. go put Kobe on the Nets and see what happens..plus Artest shuts down the other teams best player. one less thing kobe has to worry about.

[lakers15xchamps]

@MrJohnnyazn lol u cant hit a shot every game, pulus we were tired it was a back to back, they arent back 2 backs in the playoffs

[MrJohnnyazn]

oh yeah, tired from going to memphis to dallas. quit making up excuses, its not like they've never played back to back games before.

[fletch2240]

@lakers15xchamps

a lakers fan here watching pistons videos imagine that.

[horror3112]

the most dummest trade i have ever seen

[MrJohnnyazn]

really? i thought any trade involving shawn bradley was worse....

[horror3112]

well ya it prob was. but i`m a jazz fan but i stil know a lot wat go s through the nba..

[Reynmane]

Ever since i was little ive wished AI was on Detroit, When he was announced almost cried a lil......FUCK JOE DUMARS

[xxxballerxxx23]

A.I sucks that was a stupid trade

[bryantwade]

i kind of agree wit u on that comment yes that was a stupid trade for the pistons. the should of know that a.i wasnt going to makea difference. but A.I. dosent suck hes a good basket ball player. and that was the proablly the smartest trade that denver could have done billups helps the nuggets so much u dont even know. he has made the nuggets a playoff team they will go deep in the play offs

[MrJohnnyazn]

until they run into the lakers....i hate the lakers.

[tonycibrionni]

you sound dumb..i agree the trade was dumb but a.i dont suck he just fit in with the pistons

[MrJohnnyazn]

no it was a financial trade, look how much money u guys saved and look who u signed with it....i'll take one bad season if it gets me young talented players to play for the next few years...championship..not so much though.

[maj27]

wow thats a good first five except Amir, i honestly think the problem there is the coach!

[BballPlaya1297]

the pistons used be the best team in the leauge with the best fans and now look at them A.I messed them joe dumars is the worst G.m ever for firing flip saunders and trading Mr. Bigshot

[dingtong]

song?

[papereater32]

Final Countdown - Europe.

[stockmaster1982]

tayshaun has the best last name.

Prince, lol~

[jzhang123]

AI is a good baller but he doesnt work with the pistons very good

[dowrk333]

we need too get rid of that peice of garbage. bad trade. we should of not traded for a nother pg! wtf try a center. this trade is up there dumars with the darko pick , reatarted

[tonycibrionni]

i kno man that darko pick was some bullshit...and marcus camby would fit perfectly with th pistons

[DaFaygoChugga]

I love my detroit pistons... but it was a bad trade... i didnt think it was a good trade to begin with.... but eh shit happends.

[Semir313]

Naw its a good trade it bring something different to Detroit A.I is still a great player he did his part when he came to the D everyone else didn't....maybe A.I coming off the bench is better maybe not....but he sacrificed so much and played team ball......and remember we don't have to bring him back or lazy Sheed soo it was a good trade

[DaFaygoChugga]

Yeah i mean we will have major cap room to pick up somebody but you know Sheed is my Favorite player while he may be lazy it just seems he's not motivated anymore I dunno. But i mean we've won 3 in a row without Iverson they say he should be out like 2 weeks. So we'll see what happends when he comes back.

[Semir313]

I Love Rasheed He is a character lol and I wish him and A.I can come back A.I still has a lot of ball left in him... the problem is the coach he doesn't know what to do with the Veterans he is better understood when he deals with younger players...But I believe A.I Coming off the bench with Walter,Affalo,Max,and Amir or brown...Is a great second Unit and A.I can well finally ball hog a lil lol..something he couldn't do in the pistons and he is one scoring machine when he ball hogs

[DaFaygoChugga]

lol yeah exactly i agree with you on that coach deal you couldn't be anymore right.

[sublIME2s]

iverson always kills :) crossover time

[dasff4]

iverson is a beast

[shsuboy]

Detroit does have the best PA in the NBA without a doubt, and thats coming from a Rockets and Spurs fan. I like the intro with Billiups and McDyess. MccccccMac McccccMac MccccMac dyes! I'd get hype listening to this in the stands!

[milan3baller]

mason is the king!

[hypnotiq313]

we have the best intro in the NBA and the best PA anouncer. No one can top that!

[kngjames83]

Nobody does it better than Mason! If you're not fired up after that, you don't have a pulse!

[JessikahAznBabyy]

@kngjames83 guess i aint got a pulse

[wogboy43]

billups is BETTA

[899004]

Go Pistons !!! I LOVE THEM !!!

[canadaonstrike1]

Mason is the greatest PA guy ever

[legit2344]

yessir!

[Disthaman]

I actually met the guy he's very cool!!

[lancecryor]

Man I made SURE I watched this on tv that night and I loved every second of when he was announced on the court. thanks for posting.

[mindset]

I don't care what no one say, I like AI wit Detroit, once they accept him and stop complainin about him shootin the ball, they'll all click well. He's a playmaker and they can go all the way. AI deserves that

[tonycibrionni]

im from detroit and ai is my favorite player but hes garbage with the pistons along with mike curry

[mindset]

its cause the Pistons don't know how ta use him.. I feel bad for AI, I don't know if he's gonna ever get a ring.. but he deserve one.. smh

[tonycibrionni]

no not at all the pistons play good ass a team and ai needs to learn to be a team player and work off other guys or he a never get a ring

[ClearHeatVision]

if anyone has watched any game, you can see AI wasnt himself, he was a selfless player. its just that hamilton and prince were too depressed over losing billups and didn't ever make cluthc shots.

[andrewgmen]

the song is the final countdown
