Iverson, selfish or not?

Allen Iverson. Call him what you want -- selfish, unreliable -- it doesn't matter. What you can call him, though, is a sensational ball player.

Although Iverson does need some discipline between his on-court performance and off-court actions, he just doesn't seem to want to deal with coaches or the media always interrogating and annoying him.

He could develop into a future Hall of Famer as soon as he learns to work with his team instead of trying to score 27.0 points per game on his own. He is a point guard and should be passing the ball a little more.

Coaches need to step it up and kick his attitude out of the door. He needs to become a team player. When he does, then the team he is on will succeed in winning more games.

Iverson can score as many 25+ point games if he wants to, but if the team doesn't succeed it doesn't matter. He should want to help his team, and himself, get that NBA championship ring, instead of trying to lead the league in scoring.

So what's the point?

It's simple. Iverson is a selfish player who has no faith in his team. All the work he puts in will be overlooked someday, because the team he is on will not be contending.

If he doesn't change his attitude, then someday he will realize the mistake he has made when he doesn't have that NBA Championship title.
