Iverson’s effect on the Detroit Pistons

Allen Iverson was a shining star in the Detroit Pistons’ lineup and the team depended heavily on him for its victories.

It was an accepted fact that the team’s victories were due to the excellence of that one man alone. He was a very good player who was approached by many teams even when he was playing for the Pistons. At that time there was a situation where if Iverson scores, the team wins, and if he doesn’t score, the team will be in big trouble. The entire team looked to their best player to deliver every time they hit the arena.

But it was not such an easy task for Iverson. It was mainly due to the frequent changes in his playing position in the team. The trainers changed places according to the strategies they introduced into the game. It was due to the fact that coaches always need their best man in key positions and that has influenced his game a lot. He is known to be a great scorer with his special shooting abilities. Changing his position will only result in reducing his chances of scoring and this was the main reason behind his loss of game advantage.

The change of position would bring a change in his way of playing. Even his teammates had a hard time adapting to this change and that was the reason for the team’s failure. This was considered a huge mistake on the part of the Detroit Pistons management by all the fans and other critics of the game, but it was the need of the hour. When they realized the mistake, they were ready to clear it up, and the result they got was amazing.
