He earned what he had, and he had a chance for even more.

Even if that made him a jerk, it was one worthy of respect. The older I got, the clearer it became that A.I. was going about things all wrong. The braids were a lot cooler in 2001 than ‘09, especially since they were worn by someone 26, not 34. The one-man offense was more defensible when that man, at the very least, was a capable NBA starter. He maxed out what he could do through force of personality and little else...." http://mobile.sbnation.com/nba/2012/1/31/2761217/the-tragedy-of-allen-iverson
