Game 5: Pacers, Thunder set to play swing game, with winner grabbing 3-2 lead in the NBA Finals
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The back-and-forth of these NBA Finals has been constant. Game 1 went to Indiana, so Oklahoma City had to bounce back in Game 2. Indiana reclaimed the series lead in Game 3 , only to see Oklahoma City answer yet again in Game 4, knotting the series 2-2. And now, Game 5. The swing game, as some call it. The winner on Monday night — Pacers vs. Thunder in Oklahoma City — will take a 3-2 lead in the NBA Finals, moving one win away from hoisting the Larry O'Brien Trophy. Odds are, the Game 5 winner will go on to win the series. It's happened that way 23 times in the previous 31 instances of the NBA Finals being tied at two games apiece. 'It's the ultimate effort, endeavor, whatever you want to call it,' Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said after his team lost Game 4. 'I mean, it's long. It's arduous. But it's the greatest opportunity going. It's the greatest opportunity going. It's really hard, and it's supposed to be hard. It's supposed to be hard. This is where we're going to have to dig in and circle the wagons and come back stronger on Monday.' Oklahoma City is a league-best 44-8 at home this season, including the playoffs. Indiana is seeking its eighth road win of these playoffs, which would tie the Pacers for the second-most in a single postseason. Houston has the record for road wins in one playoff year with nine in its run to the 1995 title. Game 6 will be in Indianapolis on Thursday night. If a Game 7 is necessary, it will be back in Oklahoma City on Sunday night. ___ AP NBA:

"I don't think I should defend myself anymore, I'm done with that in my life" - Allen Iverson on why he's had enough trying to defend his public image
"I don't think I should defend myself anymore, I'm done with that in my life" - Allen Iverson on why he's had enough trying to defend his public image originally appeared on Basketball Network. During his career, Allen Iverson was always the subject of primetime debates, panel discussions and newspaper editorials. Advertisement Not because he lacked greatness — his Hall of Fame career is etched with MVP seasons, 11 NBA All-Star nods, and a lifetime average of 26.7 points per game — but because he insisted on being himself in a league still struggling with how to receive that. From the moment he stepped onto an NBA court in 1996 as the No. 1 pick, Iverson was not only contending with defenders on the floor but with coded language off it, fighting a decades-long battle against image politics that always seemed stacked against him. Moving on from narratives Just over a decade and a half after his last professional game, Iverson has made one thing clear: he's no longer interested in fighting a battle that never seemed to care about the truth anyway. Advertisement "At the age of 40, I don't think I should defend myself anymore," Iverson said in 2015. "I'm done with that in my life. I'm done with defending myself. I'm a villain to people that don't rock with me. I'm a superhero to the people that love me." Iverson isn't a man searching for closure. He's already lived it. The journey from a teen imprisoned for a bowling alley brawl in Hampton, Virginia, and later pardoned to one of the NBA's most electrifying stars was paved with both myth and misunderstanding. Even at his athletic peak, Iverson often found himself typecast. He was a cultural disturbance. That persona never sat easily with him, though he wore it anyway. Now, at middle-age, the burden of justification no longer seems worth lifting. In the years following his retirement, Iverson has mostly remained out of the spotlight, making select appearances at NBA events, tributes, and cultural panels, often greeted with a reverence that once eluded him during his prime. Advertisement This post-career embrace wasn't always inevitable. In 2010, just months after his final NBA game with the Philadelphia 76ers, Iverson faced rumors of financial distress, alcoholism, and alienation. None of these were ever confirmed outright, but the public frenzy spoke volumes about the appetite for sensationalism when it came to him. Iverson's stereotype There was never any doubt about Iverson's impact on the court. The Sixers legend played through pain, carried underwhelming rosters, and dragged Philadelphia to the NBA Finals in 2001, claiming the league MVP that same year. That season alone — 31.1 points, 4.6 assists, and 2.5 steals per game — told a truth far more honest than any back-page headline ever did. His image has always been at the center of discussion, not for lack of talent, but because he challenged the NBA's comfort zone. From his braids to his sleeve tattoos to the hip-hop beats that accompanied his walk to the locker room, Iverson carried himself like the neighborhoods he came from. Advertisement "It's just a stereotype," he said. "And then with my hair and the cornrows, people talk about it being a thug thing … I guess it's just [an] Allen Iverson thing, not agreeing with the fact that I wasn't going to try to look like somebody else instead of looking like myself." In 2005, the NBA implemented a dress code, widely interpreted as a veiled response to Iverson's influence on player fashion and identity. The league, concerned with its public image, required players to wear "business casual" attire when representing teams. Though not named directly, Iverson's name always hovered behind the press releases. What he was expressing wasn't rebellion; it was representation. His refusal to bend didn't stem from arrogance but from the understanding that, for kids who looked like him, saw themselves in him, and came from where he did, the power of authenticity meant everything. Today's NBA is filled with players whose fashion choices are praised as bold and whose ink and hairstyles are just as visible as their skill. The culture Iverson brought into the league now thrives unapologetically and is often celebrated. That evolution owes a debt to his stubbornness, to his resistance, to his refusal to conform.
