Playing Hurt
May 24 - "I've had some tough injuries in my career, but this ranks up there as one of the toughest because it takes away most of my speed and the lift on my jump shot,'' Iverson said of his badly bruised tailbone. ``It's frustrating having to settle for jump shots.'' The NBA's MVP and scoring champion missed 15 of his first 17 shots and scored just 16 points as the Philadelphia 76ers lost 92-78 to the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 2. "This is my dream to be here, but I never had to play with an injury like this one,'' Iverson said, adding he doesn't want to hurt the team. "The last time it hurt like this, I missed five games.''
