The respect AI gives to Kobe always. Makes me like him that much more.

[@SCBB24]

Fr I respect that so much cuz mfs really be tryna play Kobe man.

[@thsu8]

"Killers respect killers" in AI's words and Kobe had the same respect for AI. Ernie Johnson asked Kobe "Who are the best competitors you've faced?" in 2016. Kobe didn't even think about saying LeBron and he said two names, MJ and AI.

[@diablejambe3460]

Yep, plus he dsnt disrespect the younger/current players. Plus, if i remember correctly, he always shows love and respect to those who came before him as well. AI was one of my favs growing up and i guess its kinda sad to say but another reason i love and respect the dude even more is cuz hes one of the few who respects all, his "elders", his peers and his "underclassmen". Crazy how thats kind of such a novelty now.

AI is really a humble and chill guy.

[@user-xc2vk7uk5e]

AI just balls man. He doesn't give a shit about much but when it comes to ball he respects the game. He's probably the most skilled ball handler in the history of the game but he knows his limits and knows that he's gotta put kobe and steph over him cause they are that fucking good.

[@soloistdeve]

@@user-xc2vk7uk5e I miss the old players. They weren't distracted by social media and didn't need player empowerment. They got out and ball like their life depended on it. It's a sad situation that kids nowadays will never know how watching real competitors inspires people. They count stats, watching highlights because there isn't anything worth to watch.

As someone who worked for years in the casino industry. Iverson is none of those things. He is one of the worst people I have ever met in my life.

[@AfroWasiu]

@@67Lichexplain

[@67Lich]

@@AfroWasiu I can't name the casino for obvious reasons. But I worked as a Pit Boss there. Now casinos (This one specifically) will pretty much let you do whatever you want if you're spending that kind of money, or you're a VIP. I'm talking ANYTHING. Be rude to staff, make an absolute ass of yourself. They will tell us to do whatever to keep you there and happy. I have seen VIPS do the wildest of things up here. Allen Iverson to this day is the ONLY millionaire that is banned from that casino for behavior. Despite how much he spent (And he was a big time gambler) We used to have to get specific dealers to deal to him (He played three card poker mostly) because he would berate most dealers so badly that they would end up in the back crying or outright quit (2 dealers straight up quit and one threatened to quit if we put her on that table with him) On more than one occasion he sexually assaulted a waitress by groping them, he even spit on a dealer after getting a bad hand. Everyone was so happy when they finally banned him. Iverson is a terrible human and everything bad that has ever happened to him he deserves.

[@Sup4ast4r]

I wouldn't call AI a bad kid. He just dressed differently so the media narratives made him out like a bad person. His only crimes were asking out of philly in a dramatic way. That's it 😆

[@bleekeat4964]

People underestimate the impact Steph had on modern basketball. Defense is played different, offense runs different, recruiting is done different, team building is done different, player development is done different, every player is expected to be perimeter threats and defenders now. All because of curry’s shooting ability no basketball player has had a global impact on basketball like him

[@kylebourne6839]

FACTS! That why AI is so respectful of Curry...although AI is one of the all-time guards in NBA history.

[@ComradeTrav]

AI is one of the few athletes where the more I hear him talk, the more I like him. This dudes game is like the opposite of his personality. He’s been super humble in every interview that I’ve heard him in.

[@tc851]

AI wasn’t a selfish player that was a myth propagated by Phillys roster construction at the time. Idea was to get 4 cheap defensive specialists who could save all their energy for defense and have AI generate the offense. Derrick Rose’s Bulls functioned similarly except he had Boozer and Rip Hamilton not Tyrone Hill and Eric Snow.

[@csl9495]

I dont really know, but i think his underatanding of not winning a championship just makes him humble by default. If he wasnt Shaq and anyone else would be getting at him like shaq does chuck.

[@mybestnugget7514]

Dude is under 6 feet with shoes off but had the most heart in the league. He wanted to win more than anybody, and he carried the 76ers in a fashion I haven’t seen since.

[@IGH414]

⁠@@mybestnugget7514 true but he also had long arms, a stupid vertical, amazing cardio and a heart of a lion

[@gemreemangilit7786]

Same feeling here. I even hated him way back and then I watched his interviews and saw how humble the guy is. AI is now one of my faves. Dude is great beyond basketball.

[@brandonb.5304]

From all the interviews I've seen with Iverson, he seems like a really chill guy--someone you'd want to hang out with. Confident in himself but no ego. And unlike a lot of players from his generation and prior, he doesn't non-stop shit on the current era of NBA players. He gives them their props when they deserve it.

One of the craziest guard duos ever would be Steph and Shaq. Both players changed the game in the opposite way. Steph with his range and shooting spreads out the defense from the rim more than any player ever, while Shaq with his power size and strength contracted the defense to the rim more than any player ever. I think of other duos (guard/wings and bigs PF/C) that would be unreal and I have to say MJ and Dream with their footwork and dominance on both sides of the floor would be unreal. Imagine KD pairing up with Kareem. So many options to think about.

[@auchtierehabenrechte]

There is no best team without Steph. Every other great on his position needs the ball in hand, which would take it away from four other greats. Plus: spacing from another planet. Steph is a lock.

[@Phat-rj3jo]

Yep, every “all time” team needs Steph, the ultimate floor spacer and a guard who doesn’t need to dribble the air out of the ball, especially those old timers likes to pick players who can’t shoot three well and tends to be a ball hog. I have seen some people put Kobe, MJ, Shaq, Lebron, and Magic on the same team, how is that even going to work? None of them shoots 3s well, lanes would be clogged, Magic and Lebron would be fighting over who gets to dribble the ball.
