  IVERSON IS GOD
  YiLiang Wen
  ENGL 110
      The summer of 1996, when Larry Brown selected Allen Iverson, the shortest NO. 1 pick who is less than 6 feet, the whole world was surprised. The autumn of 2009, Allen shocked the world again leaving Grizzlies with his proud and awards.
       There was Jordan before Allen, and Kobe who was the 13th in 1996, but I don't believe in them. To me, Iverson is the only God in NBA, and in the basketball field. If Jordan and Kobe are the symbols of the NBA generation, Iverson is the one who can define the generation. Compared with those super heroes with halos above their heads, Allen is different and better. He is the only one play with heart and attitude instead of body; he is the only one surviving with instinct, clinging to his principles; he is the only one who doesn't have the fear, weakness, hesitation, or confusion as those so-called VIP gentlemen all do. Iverson is not a ideal person, he has his forces and helplessness which is like our real sufferings; and compared with all the heroic and moving stories, Iverson brought us more happiness and bitterness which made our black and white more glamorous. What Jordan and Kobe contribute to the Union are fabulous games, unbelievable audiencerating, and super high accessories sales volume, while Iverson's contribution is far more beyond the Union. After him, more and more children stand up and look up to the sun after falling down, more and more children dare describe their dreams of NBA with proud, more and more children and adults still believe in "only the strong survive". Who can stop me is me, and that is a soldier's word, a God's words. People believe in God not because God is almighty; God is the best human being.
      Iverson broke through Jordan, and who is the next? Iverson stopped the once untouchable Lakers empire from winning the whole Union in the series, and who else can do this, alone? Iverson won the MVP and Scoring Champion at the same time, and who is the last one won these awards besides him? Iverson is 10-times NBA all star, and the only one who can compared might be Wilt Chamberlain. Iverson led the 76ers to the playoffs and the finals; he brought this sinking team to great brilliant era in the history. Iverson's height limits him play as the PG, but he believes in his talent that he can score, in front of anyone; and he made it.
      So many years later, when people talked about the 90th NBA, they remembered Jordan's omnipotent scoring skill and Kobe's 81 points; while mentioned Iverson, people will know that he is a soldier who can't be valued by the number of champions he got. Iverson light up the fire of hope to all the people who believe in him in the world, and that is the most valuable award, and that is what God do. He might leave NBA, but he is always here, because NBA still owe him a title ring, and the world still own him understanding.
      Those people who hate Iverson, please go; because if you cant kill him, you make him stronger. There might be "misunderstood" on his gravestone, but there surely will be "not everyone" following. I believe Iverson is the best, the survivor, and the God.
