After some early battles between the NBA’s commissioner’s David Stern and the toughest little player in the league Allen Iverson, the two seem to have made amends.
"It's actually pretty good to be thinking that this was our senior statesman at the Olympics, and did a good job representing the country," Stern said. "I guess there are four players who have won four or more scoring titles... Pretty good company. That's pretty good.

Ben Wallace's career-high 29 points and 16 rebounds weren't enought to stop Allen Iverson on Friday night, as the Sixers defeated the Pistons by a final score of 115-104.
Iverson scored 37 points and 15 assists on one of his most efficient nights in his playing career. He shot 15-26 from the field, including 2-4 from 3-point land.
Larry Brown was impressed with his former player's performance.
``From a personal standpoint, when you know what someone like that is capable of, it's not a comfortable feeling,'' Brown said. ``We all know what he does, and I haven't seen anybody stop him. The reason we've been successful is we've stopped other people.''
The Pistons now lead the best-of-seven series by a count of 2-1.

Allen Iverson became the latest victim at the Palace of Auburn Hills. This time an unidentified fan hit the Sixers guard with a quarter.
Iverson spoke briefly with Auburn Hills police and Palace security. Teammate Chris Webber witnessed the incident and pointed the fan out to security officials who immediately rushed over and detained him.
It has been an embarassing season for Pistons' fans, who in November began a brawl after a fan threw a cup of beer at Ron Artest and when the Pacers returned to Detroit several months later, there were multiple bomb threats.
