So I read this last night at Indycornrows:

Bayless = Iverson.

He can get his shot & he can get to the line, but can he win?

Lets look at high school.

A four-year letterman at St. Mary’s High School for coach Dave Lopez, where he averaged 33.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 2.0 steals per game in leading his club to a 19-13 record and state tournament RUNNER UP in the State Finals.

College

Arizona had a great team the 1 year he was forced to play (thanks NCAA) and they went out in the 1st round.

NBA

He will not become a winner becasue he will not be able to incorperate his teammates beacuse the game is about him and his skills not winning. He is stuck behind Sergio, Rudy, and Blake for a reason.

I’m just saying look at Brandon Rush and his record of winning and winning teams.

I would dare to say the info above and Jarrett Jack are the reason that trade happened.

Personally I hate AI and have long said he will never get a ring because he is all about himself.  However, I love Bayless for his intesity and Jarret Jackesk willingness to step up or throw down when the situation arises - something this team desprately needs. 

What do you think of this comparison?  Are we looking at him with rose garden colored glasses, or is this bunk?
