Allen Iverson

Intro Allen Iverson was always a controversial player in the NBA because he broke the mold of what many expected out of an NBA superstar at the time. When many NBA players tried to present a wholesome family image for the media, Allen wasn't shy about staying true to who he was, as he grew up in the streets. Allen Iverson may have talked like a gangsta, but he always played with a lot of heart on the basketball court. Granted, he was often criticized for not taking practices seriously enough by his coaches, but Allen Iverson just wanted to do things his way. Allen Iverson never won an NBA title, but he had the heart of a champion nonetheless. Allen Iverson won rookie of the year and an mvp a few years afterwards. He wasn't a great defender, but he had quick hands that allowed him to rack up steals easily for his team. Allen Iverson led his Philadelphia 76ers team to the NBA finals, after being crowned mvp. Unfortunately, they would get outmatched in the NBA finals by the Lakers
