The Sixers won? Again? It's true! Four in a row. Last night they took down the T-Wolves, who may be worse than the Knicks these days if that's possible. OK maybe it isn't.
But moving on, in his latest blog, Gilbert Arenas takes aim at the contracts of several NBA players looking to get raises. Andre Iguodala is one of them. I'ma just let him do the talking here:
Same thing with Iguodala. I know after A.I. left, you were supposed to
be that No. 1 guy, but, the way he plays the game, he doesn’t have
that. He’s not that type of player. He’s a second guy. An assistant
coach told me a great story about him. When he was in Arizona, he said
he was like 9-for-11 from the field and he apologized to the team for
shooting 11 shots. From that day on, I just called him Scottie Pippen.
He’s a Scottie Pippen type of player. A great, overall player. He’s
your glue player. You need a superstar and then you need him. So $12
million is good for you. Nothing more and nothing less. Be happy with
the $12 million.

Damn! We'd love for Gilbert to be that superstar, but we're not so sure how AIg would feel about it.
