NBA Legends And Players Explain Why Allen Iverson Would Destroy Today's NBA

Folks dont realize jordan was saying that about AI during his ROOKIE YEAR...let that sink in.

"Yo, webb... i gotta go hard. Some of these dudes may never seen me play before.'

Paul pierce. “I’d just let him go by, I didn’t want to end up on a highlight” MJ-“he might cross me over again but I’m gona get out there and try”.. that’s the difference

I had the privilege of seeing Iverson play a few times live. The time I remember the most was the 97-98 season. The Sixers were playing my Heat in the old Miami Arena. There are two reasons I remember that game so well. 1. I had the best seat I'd ever had for an NBA game. Right under the basket ( a corporate perk at the time). I was standing RIGHT next to all the players, including A.I. I was amazed that he and I were about the same height , about 6'1. But his ARMS looked like they were 6 inches longer than mine! I'd never seen a guy my height with arms that long. 2. He was on the opposite end of a Dan Majerle baseline miss. A.I. grabbed the rebound and in about 5 dribbles ( LIGHTENING FAST) , he was at the other end of the court making a layup , leaving EVERYBODY in the dust. A.I. was one of the most jaw dropping players I have ever seen.

Imagine AI with today's size and spacing... unguardable.

ALLEN IVERSON is the King of Crossover. With his Wicked Crossover, Athleticism, Assorted Ways to Score, Mental Toughness, and Basketball IQ, HE would be UNSTOPPABLE in NBA'S CURRENT ERA 🎯

That man was a walking highlight reel. A.I. is the reason i started watching the NBA.

It's not a story from the video, this is a personal one. I was in 7th grade in Philly when Stackhouse got drafted, and so in my middle school lunch room my art club was doing a mural of him. A year later we drafted AI and we never finished the Stack mural because everyone wanted to do the AI one more. I love what AI met to my childhood. As a Kid in Philly we would see him everywhere and he always had time.

Remember when AI destroyed the Western All Star Team single handily.

AI cooking everybody in the nba i swear 😂🔥

What makes Iverson scary in today's league is that for one, he would have shooters on his team all the way down to the center. Teams can't really double him because nowadays every one not ball dominant has to have a 3 ball. So u can't go 2-3 zone and double A.I on top of that like his era lol. That's going to make his efficiency go all the way up, just that alone he dropping 40 a game. Most of his shots was fading while doubled or going in the paint after getting past a double trying to layup over a shaq lol No help in the paint and u gotta try to stop him 1v1 sheeshhhhhh

If you’ve spent any amount of time watching the NBA even just from the 90’s til now, you’d realize how insanely physical the NBA was from 90-07, compared to 05-24. Malice at the palace is pure proof 😂.

Dude was a one of a kind DYNAMO

1:24 my fave AI crossover you hardly see it anymore in his highlight reels

A.I. CROSSOVER ALOT ANKLES!!! 😂😂😂 ICE UP SON!

Iverson is just that one of a kind athlete...I wish he would have been in the NFL and NBA... He is really just that guy.

Listen with no handcheck now, iverson would murder this league

iverson would have been a hall of fame football player

After his legendary career was over. All he wanted was to be on somebody's coaching staff And not one of those NBA Teams would give him that opportunity.

I've never seen that MJ interview. Wow, that's props. He hardly gave props to other players because mentally still playing them he had to get an edge, keep that hunger. But that's a massive comment from him on AI. AI was unbelievable. FULL STOP!
