Living in Alaska, we saw Boozer score 57 points in a game VS North Pole High School, as a Junior. Unreal. I have some good friends in West Philly, one got drafted by Boston in 1993 and never made the team, but made a good living until last year playing ball in Europe. Him and his buddies said Boozer was too lazy in college to make the jump, he needed to work harder, and hit the glass harder. Sure enough, he's done it. He used to school us around in high school. I only played him once though. The other time I had already left school for college. Best player I've personally ever had the privlage to play against. Bill Walton ever went far enough to say he should have been an All-Star when they played LA on Wed. (Or Tuesday? can't remember)
Iverson is just Iverson, he's great at eatng up passes in the lane, but his post up defense leaves somthing to be desired. Bigger guards toss him around.
Defense, Ben Wallace is a bad ass, one dimensional or not, it's the NBA Defensive Player of the Year. Not the NBA's Most Well Rounded Player award. You don't have to be good at anything else to win that award.
