Basketball Bad Boy “Who is This Bad Boy'” In the November 6, 2000 issue of Newsweek magazine, Allison Samuels and Mark Starr wrote an article “Basketball Bad Boy,” which put NBA superstar Allen Iverson under the microscope. They believe Iverson has always been under a critical eye, but “his incendiary new rap album has folks watching his every move and word.” I agree Allen Iverson is an attention getter and his off court antics and new rap album may have him getting negative attention. This was an article about the life of Allen Iverson and how most people can love him for his on court ability but hate him for what he does off the court. And according to the authors “basketball can’t afford to alienate its largely white, middle-aged ticket buyers is a slumping post-Jordan era.” People want teams to be represented by men that can be a talent on the court and also a good role model off the court. Many can say that he’s a talent on the court, but not many can say he’s a good influence on people. Samuels and Starr’s first point was describing Iverson’s looks and actions.
