If those who run Don King's America ever wanted to come out of the closet and openly promote their cultural cesspool, they couldn't find a better choice as their spokesman than Alan Iverson. "A.I." was involved in a racially charged melee in a bowling alley, as Don mentioned. He actually smashed a bottle over the head of an elderly white woman. He was sent to prison for this, and believe it or not, he was recruited from his cell by the despicable black racist Georgetown coach John Thompson. Even more unbelievably, Thompson petitioned then Virginia Governor Doug Wilder (the only black governor in Virginia's history) and Wilder pardoned Iverson.
Think about this- an almost assuredly illiterate, violent criminal like Iverson is recruited from his prison cell by the coach of a university that has some incredibly high entrance requirements for all those who don't play basketball. Then, the governor of the state pardons this thug, just so he can attend this prestigious college (i.e., play basketball there). While John Thompson filled his all-black rosters every year with uneducated, less than upstanding young men, Iverson really stood out, even among that crowd. If you've ever heard Iverson speak, you realize how laughable the notion is that he EVER attended a legitimate class at an academic powerhouse like Georgetown. In a just world, John Thompson and Georgetown should have been slapped with a huge class-action lawsuit from all the well-qualified white kids who were denied entrance to the university, while utter morons like Iverson, "Sleepy" Floyd, Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning, etc., were permitted to masquerade as students there.
Over the years, "A.I." has been in one scrape after another with the law. Predictably enough, he has always managed to escape without any punishment, as athletes invariably due in such situations. For supposedly educated and morally upright white fans to vote for this nasty excuse of a human being, over a nice, white superstar like Steve Nash is just another indication of how difficult a task we face in ever overturning the Caste System.
In addition to being an incredibly uneducated, criminally prone thug, Iverson is wildly overrated as a player. This nonsense about him "playing his heart out" is a joke. In reality, Iverson is a typical "gunner," which only black players are allowed to be. He is a horrendous shooter from the field, and the only reason he averages as many points as he does is because each game he is given double-digit free-throw opportunities (and that is about the only thing he is good at). He plays "hard" defense, which means he is allowed to do what every other black player, especially those considered "stars," are allowed to do. Again, as was noted earlier, any white player who played defense like Iverson does would foul out early of every game.
Let's simplify it here, as much as possible. Iverson is a bad guy. Nash is a good guy, and a much better player.
