Don't quite see this. He's a great scorer, but also a good passer, defender (given his size limitations)...great team player, doesn't whine (a la Kobe), tough as nails. A clutch Game 7 against Milwaukee, a clutch Game 1 and overtime against the Lakers (for those who say he can't finish)...What's not complete about him? Of course you don't see it. Your bias always blinds you. Iverson averaged 4.6 assists per game this year. Given the fact he touches the ball EVERYTIME down court, that's a figure inconsistent with the notion of a "complete" game. "Doesn't whine". You're embarassing yourself here. Watch the series, and watch Iverson with every call and non-call by the refs. He's no less a whiner than any of them. Both he and Kobe should whine less, to be considered Great. "Clutch Game 1.....blah, blah..." Here's the blinding bias part. You mention his terrific games, but neglect to mention the crummy ones, ie Game 2, as though he can't have a stinker, like Kobe did in this last game. ca
