Allen 'The Answer' Iverson is the reason why big men in the NBA today have developed their ball handling skills. Iverson's killer crossover also provided the sports realm with a highlight that caused Michael Jordan to fall on his backside. His aggressive style of play allowed him to get to the basket with ease and he never conformed to the aesthetic of the NBA which caused the league to enforce a dress code.
Iverson was drafted first overall in the 1996 NBA Draft by the Philadelphia 76ers and spent ten years with the ball club and brought the team to the NBA Finals in 2001 where he faced the unstoppable Shaq and Kobe Lakers. Iverson then spent three seasons with the Denver Nuggets alongside Carmelo Anthony and a final season in Memphis which resulted in him being traded back to the 76ers in order to secure his legendary legacy in 2010.
