Every second he's on the court. He has the biggest heart of any professional athlete i've ever seen.

He does well on crappy teams where he can run the show, but then when he gets put in a good position to win (e.i Nuggets) he doesn't fare well. Why's that?

So many people view Allen Iverson as more dreadful person than what he really is.

LOL. He was traded 3 games into the season to a team that he knew did not want him there to help them win. The Pistons' goal in that was for financial relief once AI's contract expired.

Despite that, Iverson STILL averaged 17.4 ppg and 5 assists, which is still considered upper echelon in the NBA. The only reason Iverson did not start was because Rip Hamilton fits their scheme better (which is a given, considering he's been in Detroit for 7 years).
