Michael McCann of the Sports Law Blog -- who has worked with at least one of Iverson's attorneys, Alan Milstein -- applauds Iverson's legal team for taking the $20 million case to trial. Even if the case was without merit, it must have been tempting to quietly write a check for some fraction of the total to make the whole case go away. But they have made their case and put the decision in the hands of the legal system. I have yet to see anyone give any meaningful analysis of the quality of the plaintiff's claims in the case, but from what we have been able to read in the media, it's very tempting to see the claims as frivolous.
