Outcast Larry Hughes was shipped out, and NBA Defensive Player of the Year Dikembe Mutombo was shipped in. Also, veteran Aaron McKie has improved his play, earning the league s sixth-man award. It s hard to believe Iverson s scoring average increased with the players who have surrounded him this season. Must be his unselfish play. Michael Jordan was a ball hog plenty of times and no one ever took anything away from him.
Image is everything The difference is the image.
Jordan represented the league with class. He does more than play basketball. You could list the last 10 MVPs and find similar qualities in all of them. Not once this season has there been a news conference where Iverson has worn anything even resembling a suit. Nor have their been many news conferences that I can understand what he is saying.
