Allen Iverson Nicknamed "the Answer", he played 14 seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA) at both the shooting guard and point guard positions. Iverson won NBA Rookie of the Year Award in 1997 and was an 11-time NBA All-Star, won the All-Star game MVP award in 2001 and 2005, and was the NBA's Most Valuable Player (MVP) in 2001. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2016. In October 2021, he was named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team.[3] Iverson is often regarded as one of the greatest scorers and one of the most influential players in NBA history. He officially retired in Oct. 2013. But Allen Iverson also done coaching in the Big3 basketball league. Iverson has done a lot of crossovering in his career. What I mean by that is he accomplished a lot.

Now, I'd like to talk about Allen Iverson’s crossover against Jordan. Iverson bounced the ball between his legs as Jordan stood guarding him, and the ball went out of his left hand to his right, and he made the shot over Jordan. Allen Iverson was a fan of Michael Jordan's but Iverson’s ability to cross Jordan should have told him something. Yes we have our heroes and are inspired by them. Basketball talent wasn't given to just one man. Heroes are incredible, and you can be somebody's hero too. Michael Jordan played his way outstanding, and Allen Iverson played his way outstanding. There is only one Michael Jordan and there's only one Allen Iverson which brought great competition to the NBA.
