The Answer my friends is blowing in the wind

ESPN.com readers have incorrectly voted. 64% of them say that Allen Iverson would not be a good fit in Miami. And they are dead wrong. Miami landing AI puts them back in the finals and winning another championship. Right now Wade has to carry the team. Shaq won't be back for a month. You put 2 legitimate 30 point scorers on the same team with Shaq in the post and you tell me what is going to happen. Someone has to get double teamed which leaves 2 other guys wide open. I think with that combo you all of a sudden become a threat for years. Shaq doesn't have to be as much of a cornerstone as he ages. I think AI has a couple of years left - he's shown no signs yet of slowing. Get rid of everyone else and pick up 2 league minimum guys as forwards.

The Ego gets in the way.
Remember Shaq and Kobi didn't get along because neither wanted to share the ball.

You raise fair points. Shaq though I think learned during the playoffs about humility and was overcome by the desire to win. And on Wade, Shaq has always praised him as a young respectful guy who knows his part. The question will be AI's evolution and is the desire to win greater than the desire to be the guy.

I still want Iverson to be in Minnesota. KG got along with a bigger ball-hog in Stephon Marbury and got to the playoffs...put him with Iverson and it'd be time for KG to finally get back to the playoffs. A man that talented should not be stuck with such a depressing team. He's like Barkley with the 76ers.
