Iverson will help Pistons in the spring
*******************************************************************************

AUBURN HILLS -- Allen Iverson was brought here for one reason: to be the star
that he is.

For years, Pistons' fans cried about not having a star on the roster. They
now have one and it would be silly to ask him to do anything but play the
starring role. That's what he does best.

It's cool that Iverson -- who really wants to win a championship -- is trying
to adapt to his environment, to be more of a team player. This team has won
for a long time playing like a team because there wasn't a bona fide star.


Passed it up


On Friday night against the Utah Jazz at The Palace, Iverson scored 38 in the
Pistons' 120-114, double-overtime loss. It's the second time he's scored 30
or more since coming to Motown. The Pistons are 1-1 in those games.


At the end of the first OT, Iverson had a chance to be Iverson with the score
tied at 106. Instead of taking the potential winner with 1.4 left, Iverson
passed to an open Rodney Stuckey, who missed a 3-point try. Clearly, the
moment called for Iverson.

"I wanted to take it," Iverson said. "But I looked at the way the defense was
playing me.

"I knew everyone on their team knew I was going to take the shot. They packed
in so much. That's how Rodney got the look that he got. I didn't want to take
a contested jump shot. ... You got to trust your teammate in those
situations."

In no way do we want Iverson to be a ball hog. He doesn't have to because he
has a real team around him for the first time.

But there are times you want Iverson to score 18 or 20 points in a quarter or
at the end of the game to win it. He's that kind of talent.

Iverson's real worth, though, will come in the postseason, when he can win a
game by himself.

"Let's face it, there are few guys in this league that you know can go out
and win a playoff game," Pistons coach Michael Curry said. "They can carry a
team to a playoff victory. In the past, we haven't had a player like that." 


Playoff performer


The Pistons -- now 10-10 with Iverson -- always needed two or three players
to get hot to win. But when a team is struggling, it's a lot easier when it
has a Paul Pierce or a LeBron James.

"To have a guy like that on our team looks good and feels good," Curry said.
"Getting everybody accustomed to kind of different roles is a lot of a
challenge, but that's a good challenge to have."

Iverson brings more in the playoffs. In addition to his free throws, Iverson
helps a team with points in the paint and transition buckets.

"Those are the three areas you have to try to win in playoff games," Curry
said. "Then, you're not just depending on making shots in the half court.

"He helps us tremendously in all three of those areas."

Iverson just needs to be Iverson.
