No Crossover: The trial of Allen Iverson aired last night on ESPN. It’s no secret that AI is one of the reasons my love for basketball flourished. His story has been chronicled several times however, this particular story reminded me how deeply entrenched racism still is in our society. The same traits that made AI one of the game’s best can be linked to the raw emotions that divided “Bad News” during the trial. I’m a huge fan of the 30 for 30 series. Quality original programming. If you missed it last night, you owe it to yourself to watch it here.
