I haven't complained about anything lately, so here's something. I'm tired of announcers going on and on about how no player takes more of a beating than Allen Iverson.
You know why he does? He initiates it. He throws his body at defenders and is rarely called for an offensive foul because of his size. What he does obvious works because he gets plenty of points and plenty of free throws. Getting beat up is the price he pays for this successful strategy. Sure, he should be praised for not being afraid of taking the ball to the basket, but let's not give him a Medal of Honor for it.
By the way, here's a link to an article from The Brushback: Sudanese Refugees Amazed At How Much Allen Iverson Has Been Through
