No, Iverson was making a different point. He was beaten up and injured, and he was skipping practice to recover more between games. But that was spun into him being a prima donna black athlete who was too lazy and undisciplined to practice. In fact, Iverson was a warrior (in athlete terms), who played hard - going to the basket against much bigger players, getting knocked on the floor, getting banged up and injured, but still kept going to the basket during games.

Have one team do a one month camp and another go into the season without camp. See which one wins. Even with guys like Donald who don’t really ”need” it, all of the offensive linemen who get reps against him are better for it. All of the teammates on the defense are better for it for being on the same page.

I feel like it comes down to work ethic, and camp is in place because a majority of players don't have the discipline or dedication to have themselves ready for the season... But guys like AD put in crazy work during the off season and in his spare time... So for guys who can actually hold themselves accountable and put in the work, I can see how they can view camp like this... But for most guys, If they didn't go to camp, they wouldn't be ready.
