2 things: 1) Nobody seems to remember the context of AI's "Practice" Rant. One of his friends that he had known since childhood had just died and this was his first press conference after he found out. Instead of anyone asking about that or how he was doing, they wanted to talk about practice. And 2) Imagine what AI could have been with a team that didn't have an old fashioned coach!

[@frizzyrascal1493]

I'm laughing at the 2nd point, I'm sorry but Larry Brown was not the problem for AI's career. They clashed against each other but look what Larry Brown did with the 03-04 Pistons. AI was great, but he just couldn't make that leap with any of his teams besides the 76ers.

[@IvIidnight]

@@frizzyrascal1493I honestly feel Larry Brown didn't know WHAT to do with a star the caliber of AI, but he knew how to coach a team. Shame Philly never gave AI a team. Straight up Barry Sanders'd him.

He truly is the pound 4 pound GOAT. Kobe said we were lucky he wasn’t 6’6. But if AI was even 6’3 and just lifted weights 1-2 times a week for his career, his prime would’ve lasted longer. He got by on true grit, toughness, athleticism and a killer mentality. But Father Time hit him in the face once he hit Detroit and his body started to fail him. He’s truly 1 of 1.

[@amaimon8031]

@vinnyvorhees Pulling this narrative that he didn't have help is insane cope, the 2001 76ers was a genuinely good team, built arould Iverson and had excellent defense to cover him. The problem is that he sucks, him being used at his best is him being naturally a ball hog and inefficient. His team had to cover for him and that tanked their numbers as well. AI doesn't even deserve to be in the top 150 players. Not hall of fame caliber

[@penndawg3534]

He’s not forgotten but he is underrated and under appreciated. The league today has been influenced by him specifically in both playing styles and overall culture than any other player in nba history. The sixers did him dirty by never putting a good team around him and now he doesn’t have a ring. In today’s stat driven ring glorifying days he gets overlooked. No one should over look him, he’s the greatest little man of all time, 3rd greatest 2 guard of all time, greatest pound for pound player of all time, greatest combo guard of all time, second leading ppg avg holder in playoff history, all he was ever missing was a competent front office to consistently put good teams around him. The summer right after the finals run they basically redid the roster minus the core. But that team got far because from the starters to the bench they had an identity and they lost that identity over the summer thanks to the front office just fucking things up. The team was never the same and wasted his prime on mediocre teams. But individually he for sure is top 10 of all time for the modern era, and top 5 guard of all time in the modern era.

[@lukacostanza5793]

Luka is 2nd all time in playoff ppg by almost 3 points? Also 3rd best 2 guard ever? I can't stand Wade but he's the clear number 3

[@penndawg3534]

@@lukacostanza5793 don’t count Luka yet he needs way more playoff games to be in any real conversation. Wade is the only other player who could arguably be 3rd best. But it’s AI though AI was the bigger killer and that’s what the 2 guard spot is all about.

Allen Iverson is often regarded as one of the greatest scorers and shooting guards and one of the most influential players in NBA history. People have forgotten how good he was in his prime. He started the cornrow braids, tattoos and wearing street clothes before the players were forced to wear suits every game. He was a trendsetter at that time. I definitely didn’t like David Stern for the way he handled him. The Answer is the nickname he gotten. He played 14 seasons in the league and made the Basketball Hall of Fame.
