Jerry Stackhouse on Iverson: "Scoring titles is the only thing on A.I's mind"

[BFRESH44]

From Ira Winderman's Sunday Column:

WAIT AND SEE: Mavericks guard Jerry Stackhouse, a former teammate of Iverson's in Philadelphia, remains unsold on the prospects of the Iverson-Carmelo Anthony pairing in Denver. "He has aspirations of winning scoring titles, no matter who's on his team," Stackhouse said. "I'd say give it until the end of the season. Somebody might want to get out."

Interesting words.

Especially this coming from a guy who many consider a jacker in terms of his shot selection as well...

I think he couldn't be more wrong though.

Was there ever a feud or Animosity shown with Stackhouse and A.I in those days in Philly? I don't remember...It's pretty evident with these comments that he feels A.I never deferred to him enough.

well if it isn't the pot calling the kettle a selfish ballhog.

Yes and a fist fight resulted.

Coming from Jerry Stackhouse?! :

Oliver Miller on Shaquille O'Neil: "He really needs to work harder on getting himself in shape."

Is Stackhouse still bitter? Get over it already.

Stack is right........scoring titles is the only thing on AI's mind.....just not owning it himself...

While Iverson is second in the league to Anthony in scoring average, his focus isn't on winning another scoring crown. He's already led the league in scoring four times.

"I want Melo to win it," Iverson said. "I want him to have something like that on his resume because he deserves it. I'll be right there to help accomplish that."

Would he have said that eight years ago?

"It depends on when I won my first (scoring title)," he said with a grin. "After that, it didn't matter. Eight years ago, I would've thought I would've won eight championships by now. I'm going to do anything it takes to win a championship."

Perfect comparison.

And this sort of reminds me of Kobe on Gilbert: "He has horrible shot selection"

[Jailblazers7]

If Iverson only cared about scoring titles then he would have stayed in Philly and been content with losing while scoring 32 a game.

Stackhouses posse and A.I.'s posse had beef. There crews got into it somewhere, maybe a game?

stackhouse's posse =

[Brunch@Five]

that was a cheap shot. Especially coming from Stack, who is one of the worst chuckers the league has ever seen
