I have to side with the author here. I’m only a casual NBA fan and I know that, while short, Bogues and Webb were nowhere close to MVPs. And while I didn’t know Iverson was the shortest MVP ever, I knew he was relatively short and an MVP who played for the Sixers around that time.

The podrace stands weren’t CGI. Not that there wasn’t tons of CGI in the prequels but there were more practical effects than what most people assume. I’m not saying it doesn’t look bad, but it’s not because it’s CGI.
