However, I had Iverson last year and nobody liked my team because of him.

The reasons people dislike AI are understandable, but he plays hard every game, wears his heart on his sleeve, and is a competitor. If a superstar is available at pick 38, you take him.

I think AI is very popular with both the fans and the media. His toughness and tenacity has completely overtaken his earlier immaturity and his image has changed a lot over the years.
His shooting percentage, on the other hand, is something that's harder to live with.

Yes, but he did shoot nearly 46% last season, which is excellent for a player like him.
