    When I see Allen Iverson, I always think of rap music, 2000s, 50 Cent, baggy shorts, headbands and everything related to the 2000s. He didn't just make a legacy in the NBA, he made a legacy in HISTORY.

      ​@randyholliday5626 you can't compare KD and AI with those stat lines because they are 2 different types of player. KD picks his spots to be efficient. That was not who AI was. His virtue was in his competitiveness and played at full speed the whole game. He got other team in foul trouble with his aggressiveness and speed as a 6 foot guard. And he was clutch as anyone in league's history.

    As a Sixers fan for the last 43 years, I don't really remember Allen NOT having it going! That's not to say that he didn't have some bad games but, even in his bad games, we NEVER really felt like it was a bad game! No matter WHAT kind of game he was having, you were entertained! You knew at ANY MOMENT, he could get hot 🔥 and then it's on! And trust me, he didn't have many bad games at all!!!!! We could ALLLLLLLWAYS depend on him to give us whatever he's got and whatever that was, we loved EVERY MINUTE OF IT, EVEN PRACTICE 😂😂😂😂😂

      I also remember Malone aka The Black Redneck that turned out to be an even worse person in real life than I thought.

    Iv watched hours and hours of NBA tape and I truly think he was one of the most masterful at the game of basketball. Using your body, getting your shot on your spot on the floor, finishing at the rim, and he was like 5’11. Showed so many kids you don’t gotta be 6’4 to be great.

    You have to realize that AI was pushed into basketball, but he is actually an elite football player and you could see it in his play style, he loves the contact.
