Iverson was the entire offense at one point. They'd just feed him the ball. He could miss 10 in a row and they'd still run the O through him. That is legend status. When everyone in the arena and on the court knows you're getting the ball and they still can't stop it.

Lived in Philly my whole life. But for some reason in the last 2 days I been watching AI highlights and stuff. Got so used to seeing my guy do this on a nightly bases I kind of lost sight of just how truly special he was. He had such a repeatable attack plan. Well for him it was repeatable. And at a huge cost of injury. But my guy had a shot out to 10' , nasty layup ball control, handles like crazy, and was a prolific passer. Although he never really had guys to pass it to. So the world really didn't get to see that. His style of play is one that I think would have transcended time. Allen one of the few players that could have played in any Era of the sport. Including the future. Nothing he did was outside of pure basketball fundamentals

Hes humble and he did have all around game one of the greatest in my eyes in nba
Easily my favourite basketball player of all time. For this guy to be barely even 6 foot he had to be super tough to get knocked around the way he did night in and night out by the monsters he played against was incredible. He didn't cry or bitch and moan like these girls do nowadays he just got up again and again night after night and showed everyone that if you're good enough at something then size doesn't get to stop u. Seems like a humble down to earth guy and I've heard things from people who've met him say he's an absolute gentleman and I believe every word of it. He was a dog in his day but so chill in his mature years now.
Pound for pound this guy has to be considered the best player in nba history talent and will-to-win wise. I mean imagine him with James Harden build, let alone Kobe Jordan and holy shit if he had a lebron build lmao that's crazy. This guy was insane for a 5'11 guy who can jump out the gym and do it all offensively smh

or just be the quickest athlete in the league by far. I saw AI play live his rookie year and compared to him, everyone else looked like they were movin in slomo. as quick as he looked on tv, tv still didnt do justice to his quicks
Always been my favorite player. He's a huge part of why I started playing, I was the same height at the time and have always loved street ball. Seeing this makes me want to look up my local rec league and get back on the court!!
Ever since his days at Georgetown love this dude, NBA all material, love him!!🏀
Players that should've won at least one championship- John Stockton, Ai, Steve Nash, Elgin Baylor, Malone, Barkley, Pistol Pete, TMac , Vince Carter, Gilbert Arenas + Dominique Wilkins.

+SayItAintZay That would be a great 1 on 1. I'd give it to Iverson, due to the fact that Curry has a more team oriented game, whereas Iverson has a more adaptive game. That said, Iverson's ability to change his game and the fact that I give AI the athletic advantage as well, I believe further supports my stance.

Growing up, I was fed what the media gave me. AI always acting up at pressers and whatnot. Then I watched his Documentary and understood what he had been through. Very Very Eye Opening. What a player. Weaker men would have never made it. He's unreal to watch.
He had one of the greatest crossovers in basketball. Great skills to be the answer.

Pure athleticism wise second to none. His speed and explosiveness was insane

One of my fave players of all time. So entertaining, so electric.
Iverson is my favorite player (along with MJ), because with him I dreamed that a person of normal stature can do extraordinary things in the NBA .. In life before the talent necessary luck to succeed, Iverson was not so lucky.. Thanks Allen, you are the best ever seen in relation to your height !

Wingspan is more important than height, his wingspan is 6'3"-6'4". He was also the quickest player in the league, you can't do much about agility, or lateral movement. Or your vertical jump, which was definitely not a weakness for AI. Or body control in the air, AI is one of the greatest ever in that regard. You can't really train these that much. He was physically lucky in some aspects, to the point of being a freak of nature. And I always say that if you are a starter in the NBA, and can play with the level of intensity these guys play for 2 consecutive seasons without your body breaking down, you are a freak of nature. Even if you are an average looking gut like John Stockton. Some things are genetically determined. Nowadays people think they can just train to shoot like Curry. Yeah he trained so hard, but he is "neurally" superior in the first place, it helps his precision and release that takes more than just hard work. Physical advantage is not just height.
Next to Jordan, Iverson was the 2nd most "must see" player in the NBA in my lifetime and I'm 54. Bird was crazy insane as well. Thankfully being from Philly and a Sixers fan, I saw Iverson quite a bit...
In the early 00's he was amazing and top scorer.

Growing up at my school it wasn't Jordan, it wasn't Kobe, it was Iverson. A.I was IT! We all had his shoes on the basketball team, wore his Jersey's, tried to play like him, everybody else took a back seat. He was so fresh and exciting to watch. He'll always be my favorite.

Greatest players of my generation King of Crossover/The answer 🏀👑
True legend of the game. Kept it real and always stood 10 toes when confronted with hardships.
For those who had the opportunity to watch this man play will agree with me when i say he was hands down the best guard and the most entertaining guard i have ever seen. He had incredible skills and most of all he had the heart of a lion and he didnt care if your name was jordan, shaq or kobe, when he stepped on the court he was going to give you the business.
A.I. vs Jordan was the nastiest crossover of all time.
Iverson dominates the game without a gifted body, wingspan, athleticism, or height. The reason he's so inspirational and popular among kids because he gave hope for those who are short and who are not born gifted he can dominate the game by just relying upon his work ethic, techniques, and more intangibles that can be made by working hard.

I hear what you saying but he was gifted… extremely long arms, big hands, and close to 50” vertical… he was smaller but extremely athletic
And who do remember that at the end of his career Iverson played in Europe? He played in my favorite team Beşiktaş.
