@@QuestionEverything562 Wdym he revolutionized the sport, if anything the fact that you demean other on social media tells me that you're life is clearly a wreck.
@@QuestionEverything562 I get you on downsides of AI, but even the legends affirm that things AI accomplished in the culture of this game cannot be denied. He made mistakes but his influence on the Culture of the game beats even MJ aside from the rings
@@joelcoachman No offense, but only simpletons care about useless culture like that. AI never did anything actually positive or progressive for the league or the black man other than just trying to bring in fake gangster rap/thug culture into the league, that helps no one in terms of production. MJ changed the game so much that players can survive without playing now, all of them can say what they want on Twitter because the cash keeps flowing in from outside NBA business ventures like shoe apparel contracts, movie roles, etc. Unless they say something bad about the totalitarian Chinese government, they're living very easy lives nowadays. AI's bs "cultural impact" is nothing compared to MJ's positive impact and legacy that makes athletes' lives easier. AI is a nice guy and all, but he did so many stupid things as a player, a husband, and as a man. He's not a hero, and MJ ain't a hero either, but MJ changed the game for the best, not the worse like Iverson. I used to look up to Iverson as well, but as you get older you realize over time that he was just a great scorer, and all his antics and defiance accomplished nothing at the end when he was still looking for a job in the NBA, and nobody needed him anymore. He's not a good role model, if anything, he's a toxic role model to follow.
Seeing him handle the ball with so much style and finesse better than anybody else. Is just always something to see in my eyes. There will NEVER be another AI.
Lol.. If you Look at Allen Iverson Highlights.. He looks like a current gen player that got to play against Jordan and the greats like he was in the reverse time Warp!!
Allen Iverson was definitely a Master class ball handler.. His flashy play style would transition to this era very easily that's why the current generation kids can relate to him!!
It was awesome to see him having fun taking them kids to school I know his heart was racing from memories like man I remember I crossed this person just like this 🤣
Kyrie has way better handles than AI. AI had the crossover, he didn't put up dribbling clinics like Kyrie did. Kyrie is much more precise and clean with his handle.
@@QuestionEverything562 AI looked like he was dancing out there such beautiful and fluid body movements with his short height therefore being closer to the ground, long arms and long legs. he reminds me of a leopard and how a leopard moves. Kyrie looks a lot like Lebron out there and they're both beasts with muscles and agility but AI had that extra dose of grace.
He modernized Dean berry's crossover...the walk on w,/ no number on his jersey who taught Iverson...every interview Iverson & they ask about the cross over,,he always mention Dean Berry...pure love & reconizition
@@jermondcraigwilliamsjr.6046 Hardaway crossover basic!? His crossover is evne harder to do than AI's and AI is in my top 5 favorite player ever. Tim's used his crossover at any time and would go between his legs at full speed. I prefer Tim's over AI in terms of crossover.
I watched this like 10 times in a row man because it hit me hard....I grew up on Allen Iverson, I was these kids age when this man was in the NBA ripping shit up...dude it just takes me back man because I remember being 10 and 11 years old when A.I was in the 76rs...it's crazy man how time flies I'm 35 now and this man is retired
Love AI... He is the only combo guard that has 4 scoring Titles and a MVP and a Finals apearance because of his leadership. No Lambeer... Rodam... Joe Dumars.. John Salley.. Dreamon Green or Klay.. Just Eric Snow... Theo Ratliff... Tyrone Hill.. and Aron Mckee... Mad Respect for Allen Iverson. Love seeing you give back my brother💯🫡🏅💪
His mentor for the crossover(Dean berry) a walk on with no number on his jersey at Georgetown university was nasty with it..Iv erson took ( Dean berry) & Tim hardaway crossover & modernize it....Dean berry cross over was better than t hardaway crossover to me. And you never lose what you perfected( Iverson)...it'll be 50 yrs from now when a player take Iverson's cross over to new heights...just like Kareem's sky hook
These kids will have a great story to tell their children one day. Big ups to one of the best to ever do it. A.I. giving him his flowers while he's still here.
Back in the 90s I used to stay outside until I couldn't see practicing his crossover. My favorite was always the first studder step to see if they will bite and then you almost have to contain your excitement so you don't give it away. I loved showing up to little league ready to show it. Good times
Still giving them the work. I love seeing my all time fave inspiring a whole new generation. Man if only they knew 20 years ago what this man meant to the nba and did for the sport and culture.
