How many of us do you think it would take?

We may have to wait for a few generations and some genetic enhancements before we'll have anything like that in the NBA.

You may be missing the point here. Iverson is the same size he was when he was named the league's MVP. And this isn't the first series where he has been double teamed and dealt with physically. We have to judge his effectiveness in this series based on what he is accomplishing, not what he might have accomplished if he was something different. Besides, if he were bigger and stronger, he probably wouldn't be as quick.

Willie Pep could have kicked Mohammed Ali's butt if he were 8 inches taller and 75 pounds heavier, but he wasn't. There's an old saying in boxing that a good big man will beat a good little man every time. That's what's being proven in this series.
