A.I. really transformed the culture in the league. He is the reason why players like Westbrook and D Wade can dress how they dress, and why players have tattoos and wear headbands, arm sleeves, and compression tights. Much respect to this man!

Wade and Westbrick fashion have nothing to do with Iverson, Iverson had these players dressing like rappers. Wade and Westbrick just got creative because of the dress code.

I went to SJU from 97-01. They practiced at PCOM & SJU Fieldhouse so I'd sit on the baseline & watch. We'd know AI was there if his maroon Bently was parked in the handicap spot (true story, LOL). They'd run w Jameer Nelson, Delonte West & guys from Nova/Temple. All summer, almost everyday they'd be playing ... ironic how people think he didn't practice, which is the furthest thing from the truth. He didn't run drills and watch film as much as some people would've liked, but they'd play almost everyday, & not just during the season, the off-season too. You don't get into the HOF if you don't practice!

Too bad AI didn't get to play in the "pace and space" era. Imagine Iverson playing on a team surrounded by 3 or 4 three-point shooters going one on one with some overmatched defender who can't even touch him or it's a hand-checking foul and all the help defenders spread around the three point line instead of packing the paint. He would be putting up James Harden type numbers I'm sure. Probably even better.

The Legend Himself
He the reason why combo dribbles were created, He changed the style of dribbling. He made a way for smaller guards.
My Fav player of all time. And always will be. One of the smallest guys in the league during a much more physical era and still was king. People feared this man and rightly so.
Forever my all time favorite player. This man was special.

A.I. is truly a fan of the sixers and the sport. Anybody from Philly would agree with him, trust the damn process. Go through the struggle, wear the shame, and when things start going your way you keep your head up high.

Hinke...wasn't some master at the craft...he dumped good talent and bad talent, he made sure loses happened...his draft picks weren't flawless, but when people praise him like he is genius as if Celtics/Spurs type franchises didn't master losing with purpose in spots while still building to a more successful level than Hinke did... Anyone singing his praises is underestimating how bad the franchise was before him and how those young guys at the time played over their head that he dumped...Jrue Holiday shouldn't have went anywhere because even then he showed to be the best PG defender with scoring potential in the league... If the Sixers win a championship THIS year...2 guys where Hinke luck of the draft guys...the reset were "woulda ya know" and this current front offices work...Covington was a D-league that struggled and just figured it out last year...still struggles now, but Hinke didn't have a vision for him. Saric was a guy he got because he was over seas and not coming over for a year or two no one envisioned him as a 39/40% 3pt shooter... The Process was shuffled cards and a nicely dealt hand finally have few times to put you back in the black...

That the process!!

AI exudes swagger at the highest levels, like he's swagger himself!
San Hinkie is watching this somewhere and smoking a cigar. Somebody needs to hire that man!
A.I is one of the best player to ever played the game. He changed the culture and how people approached the game now. He carried the franchise to the finals and lost to Kobe and Shaq Era Lakers. If he had more helped they could have maybe won.
That dude high again.
I still remember AI tried to carry Sixers against Lakers for final.. Surprisingly they won game 1 and lost 4 in a row against Shaq, Kobe and Philly was over matched.. But 2018 Philly squad has height, Physicality and Youth so I say they have better chance to win compare to Sixers which advanced to finals last time.. BTW Mutombo Ratliff? They were great but in Philly in later stage of their career not as helpful as you may wished for. They cant score or shoot like Center now..
