They seldom called Michael for traveling if you watched back then. They happened to call one travel here, because it was very obvious. you used the one play alone to make a broad, inapplicable statement. Jordan basically invented the legal travel.

@@grillbuster1519 you seriously think the travels people get away with today are comparable to the ones before?

[@grillbuster1519]

A P I believe the superstars traveling today are very similar to MJ. MJ really was the first to get “superstar” treatment, or no foul outs/travels. They would blatantly call fouls on other players instead of MJ so he wouldn’t foul out. I don’t blame the players, it’s the league that allows it. Why wouldn’t they take advantage of it?

There are a lot of lessons to learn from clips like these, AI was an amazing player but never won a championship. You can be great but end it all feeling empty handed... others not so great can have amazing careers with all the gold in the end.

Iverson didn't leave feeling empty handed. Iverson had a generation, Iverson can say he reset the margin for the NBA players of today. Prior to Iverson they wasn't bringing the street basketball element to the NBA. They was all by the book and shit. The day after he left the sixers for Denver half of the Philadelphia stadium or whatever was empty because he was gone. Even the sixers of today were nothing like the sixers of the Iverson Era.

In Alen Iverson's Hall of Fame speech, he describes the moment when he saw Michael Jordan for the first time in that game and what he felt. He said I went onto the field and looked at him and for the first time in my life a person didn't look real to me. I saw his aura around him, which glowed. It was as if he was floating above the field. He was my hero and my idol and I always wanted to be like him. Alen Iverson's respect for Jordan shows that he was very honest. In this video you can see Alen Iverson sitting on the bench, looking dreamy. An incredible moment for him because he is going to play against Mike and he is very happy about it and full of emotion. I understand him very well. For many, Michael Jordan is the top of the mountain of the best players of all time in the NBA. Alen Iverson is also a legend and one of the best of the best players.
