Mark Jackson and Van Gundy...

omg...

the only thing they have in common is neither play defense.
One cant, and one wont.

He was trying to point out that Iverson opens up the offense for other players as well as Nash does. And that... is absolutely ridiculous.
Jackson may have just been trying to disagree with Van Gundy's assertion
that Iverson dribbles around and does not use screens properly,
no one on his team really knows what to do except watch.

One is a point the other is a 2. One sees the whole floor, the other sees
the rim. One is/was a fantastic athlete that does not understand the team game. The other is a mediocre athlete with a great feel for the team game. Have you every seen Iverson actually use his positioning to make a screen obvious and easy to set ? I see him just run past screens set for him. He completely confuses the majority of his team on offense.
So the skill sets are very different.
