Gov: Fuck Mavs signed George! Painful man!
Ken: What's good about it is they got him cheap!
Gov: Yeah tangina! Fucking hurts man!
Ken: Ok lang he can't play with Kobe anyway. Well, not like Kobe can play with anyone.
Gov: Fuck you! It stings! George is the spark off the bench every team needs!
Ken: Not when Kobe's there to douse everyone's spark! His nickname shouldn't be "Black Mamba". It should be "Black Hole"!
Gov: Fuck Battier!
Ken: At least he's more useful than Odom even if it's only because Lamar can't function as well as he can with Kobe sucking the life out of everyone!
Gov: Kobe has found God man!
Ken: God of rape and infinite jumpshots!
Gov: Better than back spasms and having a cousin that plays better!
Ken: Fuck that! Back spasms are unavoidable! Ballhogness is unacceptable behaviour!

Questioning The Answer
Well done Ken, well done.
The point guard has indeed revolutionized the way the game has been played as of late. They have been able to capitalize as the NBA has enacted rules that have favoured the vertically challenged. And there isn't a better example than the reigning 2-time MVP Steve Nash and two thriving futures in Chris Paul and the feisty Kirk Hinrich. However, like you said, 'shoot first little men' just never clicked.
Allen Iverson is one hell of a competitor. He is an animal. He drives the lane with no regard. Not giving a shit for elbow swingers like K-mart or nut-grabbers like Reggie 'The Fondler' Evans. He has been referred to as one of the top 10 players in the history of the sport. That's what makes A.I. the ANSWER. What do I think? Make way for the zensei's initial attempt at a controversial sweeping statement...
Allen Iverson is the most overrated player in the history of the sport.
He stands 6'O, weighs 165 lbs, and has averaged a whopping 28 ppg over his stellar career with Phili. How then, does a diehard Laker fan like myself, have the nerve to mock this midget with the heart of Spartacus?
Over decades as sports fans, we've witnessed a number of athletes who've worn their heart on their sleeve. However, in the next section, you will notice differences in heart that cannot be noticed by the naked eye of the lay sports fan...
A). Heart of a Lion - King of the Jungle. Michael Jordan. No explanation needed. Lance Armstrong. None needed. Boris Becker. Nothing. Bret 'The Hitman' Hart. Nada. Michael Corleone? Hell no!
They were all masters of their respective domains. Nothing further.
B). Heart of a cripple - When every sentence concludes with 'for his size', you know there's trouble. Iverson's incredible! For his size. Tough! Strong! Tenacious! For his size.
The other kind of heart applies to undersized, congenitally and physically challenged athletes. This is where special olympians come in. That rare category where will power rises above all obstacles.
Nate 'Tiny' Archibald. Tyrone 'Mugsy' Bogues. Rey Mysterio. The chicks in A League of Their Own. The Mighty Ducks in Mighty Ducks 3. Wheelchair athletes. One-legged sportsmen. And finally, The Answer, Allen Iverson.
They are the underdogs. The men and women that compete no matter what the odds are. And if I may steal a line from the good people at Converse, they are those who fall seven times, get up eight.
For Category B, winning isn't everything. And for A, it is the only thing.
This is where Iverson comes short. Over 9 years as a premiere player in the league, Allen Iverson has been considered among the best of his generation. What do I think? Iverson had one outstanding season. He's played 10. He can't win. But he's great for his size.
