Looks Aren't Everything

Adams, N.Y.: "His angry young oppressed black-man image is b———.... I am white and not prejudiced, but I do not feel sorry for Allen Iverson."

Another e-mail: "[The] stare, tattoos and pants to the waist showing his jockstrap sum up the reason I have not watched an NBA game in years."

San Diego: "The picture of Allen Iverson is revolting."

Lindon, Utah: "I object to this grotesque and irreverent picture."

Hundreds of people were obsessed by what's on the outside of the man, not the inside. Not a word about will and loyalty and effort. Not a word of praise for a young superstar who has stuck with one team, one woman his whole career. You see him, but you don't see him.

And he lives with this crap every freaking day.
