re: Why isn't AI more appreciated?

None of the above. But solid reply none-the-less.

To answer your question Iverson wasn't liked because he was a cancer in the locker room, wouldn't practice, stayed in trouble off the court, and had an entourage of degenterates that follwed him everywhere. Also his tats and thuggish demeanor didn't help sell him to white America. I liked watching him play ball, and did so for years. His skills were up there with the best who ever played the game. His effort was not.
