ESPN's J.A. Adande seems to think so.

I politely disagree. Yes, both share a lot in common in terms of body structure, fearless determination to attack the rim and mad basketball skills in general. That is where the comparisons should stop.

Why? Well, Brandon Jennings actually likes to work. You will never find Jennings hiding out in a bathroom avoiding practice. Jennings is usually the first guy to show up at practice and the last to leave. Iverson was always the last guy to show up and the first guy to come up with excuse to leave early.

 Oh, and, Jennings actually likes to get his teammates involved something Iverson neither had the time, patience, or desire to do. In fact, I think research is still be conducting to see if the thought ever crossed Iverson's mind.

 Jennings gets most of his points in the second half because that is usually how long it takes Jennings to realize nobody else can really score on this team besides Andrew Bogut and Michael Redd. Iverson never even took the time to figure if anybody else on his team could score. Jennings usually is on shot 13 at halftime. Iverson would be at shot 13 three minutes into the game.

So maybe Jennings plays with the same swagger that Iverson had but Jennings also handles his business in a professional matter. You never heard Jennings whine about the NCAA being out to get him when he could not get into Arizona. He simply went to Europe and played. You never heard Jennings whine when Ricky Rubio got more draft day love. He simply stated that he outplayed Rubio in Europe.

 Iverson never had a problem whining or pointing out how great he was without practice. Plus, something tells me Jennings is low key enough to keep himself out of police blotters. Iverson would probably think low key is a good locksmith.

Iverson does not need to hand over the torch to Jennings because there is no torch to pass. If Jennings lives up to the hype and becomes a legend like his first couple of games are suggesting he can, he will become his own legend. A legend that involves unselfish play, taking over games when needed to and one that might actually play defense. You know all the things that Allen Iverson was never known for.
