The media and the coaches bought into his image ! Braids, tattoos, and hip hop culture. They didn't look at how hard he played, or his balling I.Q. ! He didn't miss games to rest his pinky finger or sore knee. He played for himself, his teammates, and the fans. I was in a Burger restaurant, after a 76ers game one night. I ordered 2 big burgers and a large onion rings ! A.I. came in bought himself some food, and payed for mine. Saved me $19. dollars that night.

The guy plays "hard" every single night. He gives you everything on the floor." Chris Webber said the same thing. He said A.I had a injured knee cap, nearly broken finger among other injuries. He said "Allen, why you playing bro". Allen replied, " Because there is some kid out there that never seen me play. I want them to see me at my best and they paid their hard earn money, so I gotta play". # Respect

I'm from The D and it seemed like AI was given a raw deal coming to Detroit. I believe he came a few yrs too late due to the fact that the Pistons were on the decline andand the league was moving towards a young Lebron at that point, along with being more offensive. There was a game that I saw pure cohesiveness and that was vs The Lakers at the Forum. They ran LA off the floor. Iverson, Sheed and everybody was in total sync that night and it was a beauty. I believe with Chauncey gone that team was totally different and Iverson could of scored more easier with that te than ever before with a Sheed, Rip, McDyess and a plus from Tayshaun. No way that squad shouldn't of met up with Mia or Clev I'm the ECF that year.

He was absolutely right.

To me you the Goat. Your Philly prime Era no one balled out like you and set trends that everyone followed in the future. Goat!

He wasn’t a franchise player by that point of his career. His pride and ego shortened his career. His style of play wasn’t conducive to winning if we’re being honest. Too inefficient and too much of a liability defensively.

My all time player. Damn I remember watching his highlight and moves home on my computer and running out to the school yard where we had a basketball hoop and practicing all his moves 😂

I have and always will be a huge AI fan, but his unwillingness to realize that he had reached a point in his career where he needed to come off the bench definitely shortened his career.

@@Marcus_shawn some people aren’t selfish guys that wanted to do things their way. There’s a clip of a guy talking about Iverson in Denver. Before the season. They’re practicing every day while he’s getting carried out the club drunk. Camp starts and he comes in having not touched a ball all season. Zero chemistry developed with teammates. He is a team leader yet he didn’t act like it. I’m not even a Kobe fan, but imagine if he had Kobe’s work ethic. No team wanted him because he was a bad example to the younger guys

At that time he became a liability. He scored but was a volume shooter. He’s horrible at being a point guard so late in his life. It’s like if Steph leaves golden state, he won’t be as effective with another team. AI was playing the off guard position in Philly. Eric Snow was the point guard and it worked because snow was a bigger point guard who can guard big guards. Once he left Philly it was downhill. Philly allowed AI to basically do as he wants. Talented, yes, but not a team player.

Welcome to America Allen

It's not arrogance when it's facts. So he went from being mismanaged in Detroit to being stuck with George Karl in Denver. In Detroit they had talent mismanaged. In Denver, he had a petty, mediocre coach who couldn't win the big game if someone gave him a cheat code. Apparently someone really wanted him to fail. Salute to your heart and ability Allen.

​@AudricMorrison: When Iverson was in Philly, he carried the load. They were a defensive minded team but grossly limited. Iverson really didn't have the weapons and it showed when the Sixers played the Lakers. His sheer will and ability got them that far. Detroit just flat out lied to him and it showed. Denver was where his career went to die. Put Shaq with the Sixers and Iverson gets his ring. Put Iverson with a better coach in Denver and he might have picked up a second ring before his career ended.

Its true i can't name anyone with all of those achievements that came of the bench

Iverson could have played longer in the NBA if he accepted coming off the bench, but he refused so he retired early

Loved cheering for him the year they made finals against the Lakers! That game 1 was enough for the entire 7 game series. Wow did he show out.

He ain’t lying. Realest baller, EVER. Big Up from Brooklyn 🇵🇷

He had lost a step and was past his prime and did not want to adjust his game or his role to his age and skill level. He wasn't blackballed, he just couldn't contribute to the level expected given amount of money and attention he demanded.

Lifting weights, practice and coming off the bench. Those are just some off the things AI won't do.

What I realize is how difficult it is for some of these players to accept the fact that at some point, the limelight is going to be dimming around them. New and younger players will come on and the game might be moving away from them. Just because you have been an all star, a champion or a franchise player, if your game is not up there, you might not be good enough to start. A coach can either respect your past achievements or do what’s best for the team.
