P.S. I am very happy that Allen Iverson found a team that wanted him. I feel A.I has not got the respect he should get in his long career.

The media has pointed to him for the blame for teams not winning. Saying he shoots to much. Dribbles to much etc. This is wrong.

AI is AI. He is a scorer. He was that way at Georgetown and in the NBA. That is what he does best. Score. And he has done it very well. To the point of him being on the best little guards in the history of the NBA.

People have labeled him a “thug” etc because of who he hangs out with and the hairstyle he used to have and his tattoos. Yes he has had a few problems with the law. But in the end it has all worked out.

Iverson has a foundation that helps inner city kids BUT the media hardly says ANYTHING about that. But let Allen get in trouble and it is all over the place. This is wrong.

It will be very interesting to see how Memphis handles AI on the team with Mayo and Gay and Randolph. That’s why I love the NBA. Can’t wait until the season starts!!! G.C.
