"You think I'm lackadaisical on the practice court, huh?"
"Well, let me show you how I can be lackadaisical on the game court!"
The next day, the Pacers had a home game against the Philadelphia 76ers!
After Allen Iverson left, "Little AI" Iguodala proved he could never become the true "AI." His stats were pretty good for his fourth professional season: 19.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.6 steals per game, with a decent field goal percentage of 45.6% and a three-point shooting percentage of 32.9%.
But he was always one step shy of becoming a real "superstar."
His team-oriented playstyle made it hard for him to draw fans.
Even though the 76ers were ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference under his and Andre Miller's leadership, just one place behind the current ranking of the Pacers, their media exposure had plunged straight down compared to when they had Allen Iverson.
