Not to get in to any arguements, but I think Iverson is not measuring up to MVP status. His shooting percentage is truly awful. He looks like he's running out of steam, understandably. He's moving at only 100 mph, rather than his usual 150 mph. That's still faster than anyone else, but not fast enough for what his team needs.

I agree. He just deflated after game 1. I was incredibly annoyed at his comment prior to game 4--that people shouldn't rely on one offensive player to pull Philly through the games. Maybe he meant well, but it came across as whining, and incredibly naive. Does this kid realize that Larry Brown did a masterful job of surrounding allen with good role players with OK offense because few offensive talents are willing to play on a team with a guy who takes 25 shots a game? He needs to be willing to step up every game--if he can't do that, he needs a lower-key style, and a way to keep from alienating other scorers. And he certainly can't sulk for a quarter after every technical.

I said about a week ago that unlike Shaq (free throws), allen has no obvious chinks in his armor. I was wrong, he does: inconsistency.

He's still a dream to watch, though, and the most lovable star since sir charles.
