Iverson, defensive specialist?

Every few weeks I check 82games fishing for a new esoteric statistic.

OK, I'm scanning this and it looks reasonable... "savvy veteran" who flops a lot (D Fisher)... center who can't block shots (Bogut)... center who can't block shots (M Moore)... young undersized point guard (Lowry)... OK, that's a bit odd... center who can't block shots (Pryzbilla)... IVERSON?!

I'm sure people will slag this stat as "best flopper"; in fact, 82games made that joke themselves. But I'm still pretty impressed that a soon-to-be 33-year-old 165 pound guard would crack the top 10. Obviously you're tough if you have a spiderweb neck tattoo, but given that so many blue-chip scorers mail it in on defense as soon as they hit their late 20s, ranking in the top 10 in charges drawn is still impressive.

Complete list here.
