Iverson is not Human....A

17. Allen Iverson

We entered the "playing with the house's money" stage of Iverson's prime about two years ago. And it's still going. Amazing. You could make an entire documentary of people telling Iverson stories like this one that I'm about to make up (as far as you know): So we're eating at Denny's at 6 a.m. in Atlantic City. … Iverson shows up with his posse and proceeds to order $300 worth of food, they eat breakfast and leave at around 8, and that night I'm watching TV and he drops 48 points on the Nets. I'm not kidding, there are 75,000 Iverson stories like that one; all of them involve him being up late and having a huge game one night later. The man doesn't sleep. He's not a night owl, he's a straight-out vampire. Throw in the ferocious pounding he takes for a little guy and it's unclear how he's still alive, much less playing at an All-Star level.
