Iverson is has been labeled as a villain, and has been surrounded by controversy throughout his carrier, so expect there to be some problems. I'm just surprised no articles or complaints have come to life yet. The media loves bringing Iverson down, so this is a surprise. But rest to sure that there will be some controversy regarding Iverson remarks.
What KG said during the playoffs was just stupid though. He could have used a few analogies (ex. "I've got my troops lined up, and my guns cocked and ready), instead he went on for a good 30 seconds talking about his "arsenal" of weapons. Ridiculous. What Iverson said is not as bad....BUT, he did say it during international play.
While the media loves to bring down Iverson, as someone already said, I am surprise everyone hasn't been screamin OMG yet. With KG's comments,though they were harmless, he did go on to name everything on a military base and then some. So I wasn't surprised about that. But I wont be surprised if they do make him apologize.

"We need a game where everything is definitely going to be against us," Iverson said yesterday, a day after the U.S. was shocked by Puerto Rico, 92-73, in its opening game. "We need a war. After what just happened, we don't need a cakewalk and then go back to thinking that everything is going to be peaches and cream the rest of the tournament. The U.S. would have a better chance of winning if it were a united squad. There were rumblings of discontent yesterday. There's no scoring champions, there's no assist leaders, there's no steals leaders, rebounds ? there's no individual goals," continued the U.S. co-captain. "The only goal is winning the gold medal. We were supposed to leave all that back in the States. We're over here to do this together. And if we don't understand that, if we got one or two that don't understand that and they're out there on the basketball court, it's going to hurt us."</div> <div align="center">Link</div>
