Allen
Iverson
Sports Dickhead of the Week
Allen Iverson... smallest NBA
MVP of all time,
but possibly one of the biggest dickheads
in professional sports.
Allen Iverson has been in the news
because of his off court problems just as often as he
does for his on-court heroics. "The Answer"
as he is often called, is once again finding himself on
the opposite side of the law after allegedly breaking
into an apartment complex, and threatening the two occupants
while carrying a gun. An arrest 
warrant
is rumored to be on the way. If convicted, he could
face up to a year in jail.
If the question is "Who is this week's biggest sports
dickhead?" The "Answer" truly is, Allen
Iverson. And here are just a few reasons why:
• After being asked by police to stay within the
confines of his mansion until her turned himself in to
the authorities, Iverson threw a party with all his friends
where they played basketball, and swam in the pouring
rain.
• Most recently got in trouble for kicking his naked
wife out of the house after a fight, then went looking
for her while carrying an unregistered gun. He took his
uncle along for support.
• He was arrested in 1993 for taking part in a large
fight in a bowling alley. He allegedly hit a woman in
a head with a chair. Spent 4 months in jail.
• Was recruited by colleges and allowed special treatment
while serving time.
• In 1997, Iverson pleaded no contest to a gun charge
after police stopped a car in which he was a passenger
and found a gun belonging to Iverson and two joints. He
was sentenced to probation.
• In 2000, Iverson recorded a rap CD about violence
and street life that was denounced by women, gays and
the NBA.
• Was disliked by most NBA players because during
his rookie season he got into fights with his teammates,
and others thought he showed little or no respect for
the game.
• Led his team to the 2001 NBA finals, then decided
not to have surgery until later that year, causing him
to miss training camp and the beginning of the next season.
• Always wears his baseball caps slightly turned
to the side.
• Refers to himself in the third person during press
conferences.
• Has missed team shoot-arounds before games because
he had better things to do.
