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. I've been waiting for someone to point that out (it's just that unlike Merlin, I don't brag about how I know the flaw in my argument, and no one else can guess it). Leave it to the thread header. Yes, this is absolutely true. I have been disappointed in Iverson, although I do think that when he's at his best (as he was in game 1), he is better than anyone else at his best. He just doesn't seem to be at his best often enough this series, whereas Shaq and Kobe are always at their best. (I give Phil much of the credit for that). But there's no question that Shaq has been the MVP of the series thus far (just as there's no question that Allen has been the MVP of the playoffs, but they'll never give it to him). BTW, I don't believe that "a good big man will beat a good little man every time." I just think that a great big man beat a great big man this time.
