The man who was the Question and the Answer finally hung up his Reebok’s formally after not playing in the league since the 2009-10 season.
Iverson was a trendsetter in every meaning of the word, he flashed tats, cornrows and played with a passion that you want a 7 footer to have. He was my size giving everyone buckets.
He made it ok for certain Reebok’s to be worn, yeah think about that for the folks who grew up in Urban areas.
The Answer played for the Nuggets, Grizzlies, Pistons but he will be always remembered as a 76er. During his 14 years he will be remembered for how he led the gritty 6ers to the NBA Finals his MVP season. Not only did he lead the 76ers to the finals he even stole a game on the Lakers home floor during the 2000-01 season.
Iverson averaged 26.7 ppg, 6.2 apg and 2.2 spg for his career. He was an 11x All-Star, 1x MVP, 2x All Star MVP, Rookie of the Year, 7x All NBA (1st, 2nd or 3rd Team).
A.I. is one of the best to ever do it, no matter how you feel about him as a person you can’t deny the man could flat out ball.
