This is a rare moment that I agree 100000000% with Steve A. Iverson is the best PG to play the game. Absolutely deserves to be involved in the 76ers organization. It's sad the 76ers never invested in players to surround him. GOAT
@lam34223 жыл бұрын
I have 12 76er jerseys, 76er hats, Jackets and other merchandise. There is only one and the same name on every one of those jerseys. Iverson was the reason I even followed the 76ers.
@phillipsosa33533 жыл бұрын
Iverson is my favorite player of all time. I had his shoes, wore a shooting sleeve, bought his merchandise and clothes and even bought his documentary way back in the early 2000s. He's the reason I became a basketball fan and a sixers fan. The fact that this hasn't been asked to be apart of the organization in some way or form is not only disrespect to AI but it's disrespectful to all the fans AI has brought to the sixers. I grew up in Cali, near LA everyone is and was a Lakers fan when I was growing up except me. And it's simple cause of one man. The answer!!

Citizens of Philly and players aswell need to do something about this BS, Iverson kept your franchise alive and helped bring fresh young players into the league give the man the respect he Fuckn well deserves.

@nicw.13203 жыл бұрын
KGs issue resides with glen Taylor. Alex Rodriguez just bout a ownership stake so hopefully he can up it to a majority and then KG would be integrated back in the T-wolves franchise. But Taylor needs to go before KG even considers coming back

Man I got the opportunity growing up to watch A.I play. The man was the lightest and fastest player in the league but yet had the biggest heart. He didn't care who was in the post, he would just take it to the hole everytime and draw fouls. The man is forever tied to 76ers so they should give him some type of role. A.I prime is better than most these 2 guards today.
