Succored Divinity


Shoefly at his blog, Boxiana, has written the seminal piece on Allen Iverson's intrinsic constitute of character. And he did it all in a single paragraph.

"Personally my feelings about Iverson have never been constrained by any team, or game, or victory paradigm, but more on a moral, religious level. His is a will to overcoming that has long left me with the feeling that, had things been different, he might very well have been the modern day Ray Robinson, all the tools and spirit to be a welter and middleweight destroyer. There is something about what he has done, that, like a great boxer just past his prime, makes one hope he steps away, so that his will can be preserved, perhaps as a gentleman farmer, world traveler, and collector of rare and exotic orchids."
Allen Iverson has always represented some larger intangible virtuosity to me. His reverence and luminous should be preserved as whole and complete as possible.
