So, yes, I'll be a bit disappointed if Ben Gordon doesn't suit up tonight (and I'm further bummed he wouldn't go against Hinrich at least for a spell),...

Unlike, say, a Ben Wallace life size bobblehead, there's something vaguely blasphemous, or satirical, about AI as a cartoonish toy, given his standing as basketball icon. In college, I helped do a radio interview with Iverson biographer Larry Platt, who described him as "2Pac with a jump shot". Back then, it seemed ludicrous, but as time goes on, it seems more and more ap...
