all this he didnt accept his role shyt is stupid
he went to other teams, he just said what any competitive player would say, that he will be competing for a starting spot.
most the dudes you calling great now will be doing the same thing when they athleticism leaves them. the bulls did the same bum shyt to mcgrady. what is wrong with saying you will be competing for the starting spot? especially when you are a former mvp, 11x all star and one of the greatest guards in the history of the league?
lets just be real about this, iverson became the poster boy for the hip hop street young black male that stern deemed bad for the market because he believed he was losing his white season ticket holders across the league because so many players where getting tatted up with the braids and iverson was the leader of that style. that shyt spun the and1 movement. stern crucified that movement to appease those racist redneck b*stards who shunned hip hop and what is supposedly stood for. in his attempt to make the league more marketable to these corny white boys he put a bad word out on iverson, implemented the dress code and stopped youngsters from coming in from high school.all in a attempt to make the league more marketable
if iverson would have cut his braids and tried to clean up his image the league would have treated him better. the fact he said fukk that kept his style cause the refs to put a hit out on him, and the owners of the league to place him in non favorable situations.
that is the real truth.
