Allen Iverson Earns Kudos From Team
While Allen Iverson was with Philadelphia, he carried the team alone in the playoffs. Now that he is with Denver, he does not have to do that.
Ever since Iverson was traded from the Sixers, he has been comfortable sharing his superstardom. When the Nuggets take on the Spurs in the first round of the playoffs, he has no intention of toning down his intensity.
The fact that he is sharing the limelight with Carmelo Anthony does not bother Iverson. He says that he has better mind set now as it is easier for him. He further added that he was not taking it easy but playing just as hard as he has always played. Iverson thinks that having Anthony at his side is a great help.
Iverson feels that Anthony helps to take a lot of attention off him. He said when Anthony gets double teamed, he gets the chance to penetrate the defense and make plays for his team and himself.
In the regular season Anthony has averaged 28.9 points while Iverson averaged 26.3. Iverson"s career playoff scoring average is 30.6 which is second in the history of NBA after Michael Jordan"s average of 33.4.
Anthony was the star of the American team at the world championship last summer but in the NBA playoffs he has yet to create a stir. His playoff scoring average is 18.6.
Iverson feels that Anthony has to develop confidence in himself and the team in the playoffs to be effective. In 2004 Minnesota"s Trenton Hassell limited Anthony to just 15 points while in 2005, Bruce Bowen of San Antonio held him at 19 points.
Anthony since then has learned to handle Hassell and he is confident that this time round he will be able to handle Bowen. Coach George Karl thinks the Nuggets have never had better chemistry in his 2 1/2 seasons in Denver and he gives all the credit for this to Iverson.
