He wasn't just a great player AI was an icon. One of the game changers

[TheFly]

33 points per game and nearly 7 in a half assists per game... Holy shit.

[jsmith]

One of the most entertaining players of all time

[treyfromdas]

My favorite player of all time and one of the best shooting guards of all time. Well deserved Allen. Good luck in all future endeavors.

Hey Coach, you said something that got me thinking. You mentioned how it was the beginning of the new "No Hand Checking Rule" when Iverson came in the NBA and how it made it harder for a single defender to guard any decent ball handler. I think it'll be huge if you did a video COMPARING the old hand checking rule VS the no hand checking rule and the effects it had on the game.
If anyone out there agrees with me please add your thoughts on this idea.

Why he is in the hall of fame? Because he was amazing

[ohgodwhyimtrolling]

I fucking hate when people use the " not a game, practice" because 90% of the time they doesn't know the context.
His best friend died few days earlier and lost an important game. And the journalist asked him a question about practice

[Convisis]

Arguably the most naturally gifted talent to ever play in the league.

[empty]

Because he was fucking good that's why

[paulgross]

Hey I'm a 76ers fan I used to watch Allen Iverson play basically never seen anyone play the way he did he absolutely change the sport forever

[LuideMulumba]

The only two players people tried to emulate when I was a kid were Jordan and Iverson. Not Shaq, not Nash, no other...just Jordan and Iverson. Lays testament to the impact he had on the game.

[annawilson]

Please mark that Iverson had a range of first step which is incredible, his flexibilty, mobility and dimensions of speed, changes, unstoppable when isolated.

Allen Iverson is deserving of the Hall Of Fame

[grey]

He's in the hall of fame because he's pound for pound the Greatest Ever

[Suspect]

A.I. is my hero and I've seen them all since Magic... Truly a Warrior and a real man´S man.

[chiefsolo]

It's sad that some people don't think he's a HOF'er..

[yeon]

kid these days will only look at the numbers. They will never know how dominant AI was

[razmc]

To me AI was also an icon of basketball. He brought fashion to the NBA, street style of play and hustling. He had a hard up bringing and despite being undisciplined he deserves to be in the hall of fame. AI!

[jasons]

do Yao. it seems a lot people does not agree that he should be a HOF
