AI's debut, making a lousy statement

Allen Iverson played his game debut with the Memphis Grizzlies against the Sacramento Kings yesterday. Fans expected that AI will contribute for the said "not-so-much" competitve team. But this didn't happened as they lose against the Kings 127-116.

Where is AI's presence in his game debut? He only contributed 11 points and 1 assist, making a lousy statement for his team. I believe, this is only a fact that AI's skills and glory days already passed by. This may be one of the reasons why teams are not taking a strong grip with him as a player in their team. His effectivity in the court obviously collapsed in his past career years.

Some may say, it is very early yet to conclude. He may only need some time to get his rhythm with his new team. But with an obvious perception with the game and his past career years, it may be an affirmation that AI's presence is not a factor for the Grizzlies.

If we recall the Nuggets-Pistons trade, trading Billups for AI. It was obviously seen how the Nuggets go up and the Pistons go down in the league's team standing. It was a great mistake for the Pistons, making their team's competitiveness to be on the bottom list.

AI may have started a great career, but now, with these obvious stats and analysis, he may have finished it rottenly.

Back in his game debut, Zach Randolph, OJ Mayo and Rudy Gay were the ones who lead their team. They scored 30, 22 and 21 points respectively. But the 48 points of Kevin Martin and the help with his company are too strong for them. Kevin Martin lead his team to defeat the Grizzlies.

Here is a video of the game's highlights.
