Iverson, who is currently appealing a 1993 conviction on three felony counts, has taken the law into his own hands on the hardwood, quickly becoming the most dangerous young gun in the East; hell, maybe the country. This 6-foot lightning bolt can handle, dish, dash, leap, scrap, create, shoot and score, and on his next trip down the floor, he'll probably find another way to hurt you. Just ask Providence Friars, who Iverson dropped 30 on his coming out party early this season.

"The Big East is real intense," says Iverson, who spent time in prison for his part in a bowling-alley brawl in his hometown of Hampton, Va., while St John's Felipe Lopez was writing his acceptance speech for the National H.S. Player-of-the-Year award.

Since that time, however, Iverson has emerged as the real beast of the east, as one of the most gifted players in the country.

"It's real fun," says Iverson referring to life in college. " The best part of it is learning from my teammates. They've been through a lot more than me."

Before he said his words to America, we learned that Iverson is not shy whenever he is dancing behind the rock. And after coach Thompson waved his magic towel, we learned that the Hoya's smallest destroyer isn't shy behind the mic either.

Question: is Felipe Lopez as good as advertised?

Answer:" I don't know."

Question : Is Allen Iverson as good as advertised?

Answer: "Yeah, I believe so." Yeah so do we.
