Iverson showed the league's most dominant team, the Lakers of Los Angeles, why he, not Shaq or Kobe, is the NBA's most valuable player. But that's what it's all about. You've got so many basketball experts, but the only guys that know are the guys on the floor. We got heart. You expect people to be like that, but, I mean, anybody that's betting on it, there are some broke people out there.
Some people have their feelings hurt.
I'm glad they didn't bet their life on it, because they'd definitely be dead. Iverson was fearless. They are nothing compared with the scary sights Iverson has seen over the years. We've been in games where we're down in the last minute, two minutes, or made comebacks, kept fighting and proved it to ourselves we could win if we played every game like it's our last. So where other players would shy away from driving into the immovable force of Shaquille O'Neal, Iverson did not.
