    Default Would Iverson bring us national games?

    If AI can make it to the All Star game(Rigged?) then he should be popular enough to get us a game on national TV.

    Here is an interesting article i found about AI/Brown

    ^Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't I say all that already? And half the people who have e-columns? LB's been saying the same thing over and over, AI's been around town, and we need a scorer. The AP's a little behind, aren't they?

    And I think AI should get us at least one ESPN game, plus the Lakers games should be on NBA TV at least. We'll get something next year. We were snubbed, but we defied all expectations and we should be one tv now.

    No doubt it would give us national games. I just hope that maybe A.I. could play here so we could become the talk about the league.

    Those beat writers have to steal from somebody in the offseason

    Of course he would. Just because he is older doesn't mean is any less popular than he was 5 years ago.

    after last season and the success billups brought to denver, iverson is much less popular/relevant to the nba. i think you are highly overestimating what iverson would bring us. we will get on national tv, when we start winning. we got national attention at the end of this season because we were in the playoff hunt.

    AI would put more asses in the seats. Winning can only do so much, people like to win sure, but people also like to say they went to a game and saw a star. I mean yeah AI may not be in his prime but he can still score.

    But to the original posters question, it will take a miracle to get us more than a couple of games on TV. Hell we can't even get a contract that lets everyone in the carolinas see the bobcats, much less outside of their 50 mile radius of charlotte bob johnson signed up for.

    yea, winning does get butts in seats, but stars can too. if we can get iverson AND win more, then things will go well

    I wouldn't want to go to games just because of Iverson. Iverson's fame is over. It's not that kind of league anymore. Tattoo's and attitudes don't cut it in the NBA no more.

    Thank you Mike Wilboun for opening this one up. Honestly AI would get the Cats some national exposure but at what cost? Honestly I thought Larry Brown would get us some national attention but it didnt even get us local attention. Lets worry about fans in the Carolinas first before nationaly.
