Allen Iverson is the sole reason I am a basketball fan today. As a kid, I was more than amazed by his swag and skill on the court despite his small frame. AI didn’t back down from anyone and continued to prove the critics wrong during his 14 seasons in the NBA. Although he never won a NBA title his legacy will forever live on as shown by the kind words shared during his 40th birthday party.
Iverson turned 40 on June 7th and was overwhelmed with emotions as he watch former teammates and friends express their love for him. AI did a decent job holding it together until him mom brought him to tears as she shared some thoughts on his life.
Iverson will forever be a icon in my eyes. It’s great to see that he is doing well, his family continues to support him and that he may have some opportunities in the near future working in the NBA soon.
