Well thats the hard part when youre an injury prone player while youre aging. I really want Iggy to prove himself again in another team. I want him to get back in shape. Too bad, he got badly injured and teams in the NBA easily forgot he was the Finals MVP in 2014-2015 NBA finals.
I don't think that is the case. Nobody is forgetting anything. It's just that teams have to make a decision not just on past achievement but also on the current conditions of players and even age.
For me, there is no need need for him to prove anything. He's done great and accomplished more than half of the current and retired NBA players.
Yep, nobody will ever forget him that he was the Finals MVP. It's probably because of his age and he accepted a bench role in GS for the sake of championship and that made his career goes down dramatically, although they won many times in championship match and he still got decent salary. Although all of those things, his stats went down since he took the sixth man or bench. But more importantly, it was his age.
Dude, like even LeBron James is finding a hard time to have a star player by his side with the Lakers(before his debut). They kept on luring Kawhi and PG13 but no response. They know that they need to play harder than usual because of LeBron's age. Not to blame him but you can see on his defense his breakdown. At his prime he's always at First team all NBA, First team defense. But he's slacking as Carmelo. I'm not saying that he's a real liability in defense as Melo, but still there could be times he be like that. And he ended up blaming his teammates FOR HIS OWN MISTAKE. Not a LeBron fan, just stating the fact, in fact I'm siding with the Lakers this season.
