Check his %’s when he had legit offensive help in Denver… 27 a night on 46% at age 31/32 imagine if he had that support in his prime & 42.5% is good when you consider he was priority’s 1,2,3,4 & 5 for the opposing defense on the scouting report and how many shots he took with those tight coverages
Allen Iverson is a superstar. The man is an icon. I've read his book ''only the strong survive'' numerous times, this man has overcome struggles few men could survive. On the court he was deadly.
Iverson is and will always be the most naturally talented individual to ever play in the NBA. In his prime he could step away from the game for a year not even touch a basketball but as soon he stepped back on the court he could pick up right where he left off.
Love AI, but this is ridiculous. Oscar Robertson probably more naturally talented, MJ, Charles Barkley (if he'd had Kobe's psychotic drive he probably would have been close to MJ), and arguably Larry Bird (tough to compare those two). Possibly Magic as well. Dunno about Wilt, his natural athleticism was just something else.
@@Xenon-h9z what happened when MJ stepped away from the game to play baseball? He came back and wasn't as good as when he left until the next season. He had to get back into basketball shape then he went on to win 3 more championships. That's a prime example of what I'm talking about
@@JackTorrance-j6g He was rusty for a few games. And yeah, he'd been getting into totally different shape for baseball. Someone being rusty for a bit doesn't prove they're not naturally talented. Basketball's team sport, and (it at least used to be) a complicated one. Iverson never took any long breaks from basketball either, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. Jordan also came in near the end of the season (17 games left).
@@Xenon-h9zits based on his size. Imagine being one of the most dominant players of your era at the size and weight of a fan in the stands. If he was 6’5 he may be the best scorer ever
I used to work 3rd shift as a security guard at Foxwoods Casino, and I remember seeing a nice older lady wearing an AI shirt. I complimented on her gear, and she ended up being Allen's mama! She was such a sweet lady and shared a good conversation with me for about 15 minutes. It was pretty awesome to be honest!
I’d say popular more than beloved, at least back then I’m AI’s case. He was treated like an outcast constantly because he did his own thing. His popularity was undeniable, but the league tried to keep a leash on him for much of his career. He’s unquestionably beloved now though.
@@franklin8618Even if we had absolutely no clue how organs worked or anything else about the world, that still doesn't prove there's a god 😂 The answer can be "I don't know". No need to make up magical explanations that can't be proven
I always felt like AI had a creativity about his game, a sort of poetry in motion, that was the external expression of the passion you're talking about. Very enjoyable player to watch, and enjoyable person to watch in interviews
@@gdc6153 Yeah, I mean I'm white as hell. I have no hood pass whatsoever, and I always got AI. The problem AI has is that he is genuine, and our mainstream culture tries to tear down people that are genuine.
I paid the price in a high school football game at halftime with that icy hot one time. Don't ever rub that stuff on your inner thigh young bucks. I was jumping up in down the entire second half. If you know, you know!😂

Kids today don’t know this man and how AWEOME he was and still is, AI is the MAN!!!! A 6’0 man amongst Giants and was fast as lightning!!! A True Legend!! The Answer!!!!
Allen Iverson is so iconic . I had the Iverson shoes, always rooted for him. Such a great part of a lot our childhoods growing up. Everyone wanted to be AI.
Man, I can watch Shaq and Iverson story tell for 2+ hours. I was so sad when Shaq said Iverson had to leave. The conversation was just getting started.. Even Allen was surprised he had to leave.. Bring him back and have a 2 hour podcast.
@@dirkfade113 I listen to greats on the same level as shaq and ai. arenas never got on that level hes lucky he played in washington where he got minutes
Iverson was a Piranha swimming with Sharks. He may have been the smallest on the court, but his fearlessness, ferocity, intensity and sheer dawg in him to give it everything, everytime he stepped foot on that court made him an icon.
Iverson's a real man. I didn't like him for a long time because I thought he did what he was accused of back in the day, but now I know he didn't. Like Pac: Just not that kind of person.
AI seems like such a genuine guy. You can tell he puts a lot of thought into what he says and really takes the time to process what other people say. He also refused to talk bad about other players even in today's world where public smack talk happens all the time. A true class act.
Iverson is the only player that has to official nicknames the "question" and the "answer" he's the reason why former players that haven't won a title are still considered the greatest in the history of the game
I still remember when I was 10 years old (I'm 34) when I saw a magazine and A.I was there... After that I felt in love with the game of basketball, always trying to play like him, spending hours watching games, videotapes (VHS) etc. I was desperate to learn how to do the the Crossover... I could say that A.I and his influence changed and saved my life. Love from México.
Iverson rocks with everybody that’s great it’s not a surprise at all. In fact you can guess who all he likes in this up coming generation and probably the generation 10 years from now.
I remember going to the after-hours Club Palmers in Philly on a Saturday night and seeing AI in there all the time. 4 am he'll be driving off in his Bentley. Sunday early afternoon he'll be on the television killing it. Or even crazier seeing him in the club at 10:30 pm after going up against players like Oakley, Shaq, MJ, Kobe, ect. Scoring 40 and chilling by the bar an hour later. Word!
Damn those were the days I remember fondly. I was the picture man at Palmers, transit, Chrome and pinnacle from 04 to 08. 2 dollar Tuesday's and weekends were crazy! I worked at suite 450 too before they were shutdown.
Man if Kobe was still with us, him and Shaq having a podcast would’ve been goated. I just wish we could hear Kobe’s stories with all these legends he battled alongside Shaq..
Shit… your comment fuck my day up bruh. Now i can’t help but imagine that knowing the trend rn, Kobe definitely going to do a podcast, and I’m kinda sure that both of them would try to do a Shaq-Kobe podcast.
How wonderful that we live in this time and have the opportunity to watch these wonderful players. I'm 41 years old, i'm from Ukraine, I also played basketball and Allen was my idol👍👍👍💪💪
Man I LOVE the hell out of AI. As well as being a legend and one of the greatest talents ever, he really is one of the sweetest NBA alumni out there. He got a hard reputation back in the day from his background, but he has so much love to give and is just entirely himself. Really truly genuine. So glad he’s around
I'm a Slovenian guy and my favourite player of all time has ALWAYS been AI. Hearing him say he loves Luka makes me feel like a proud dad somehow, even though I have nothing to do with anything lmao
IVERSON IS THE REASON I STARTED WATCHING BASKETBALL SINCE 2005/2006 ish that whole era. It was him and bron but my favorite has been and still is AI That documentary in philly was what set my love for nba off and i had arm sleeves and finger bands all that. Ai still real af and i just love the guy so much. I wish him all the best and hope to meet him one day. Love you AI ❤
Iverson and Shaq together on the same podcast and now in the front office at Reebok together is straight 🔥. These two guys were truly dominant in their era and there hasnt been another like them since they left. Nobody has had the size and physicality that Shaq had. They used to hack him 20-30x per game just to put him at the line bc they couldn't control him in the paint. Iverson could literally get any shot he wanted every single time down the court and he played every single minute like it was his last. Their might be PG's that pass, dribble, or shoot better now...but nobody will ever play with that much heart ❤️. He could put a whole team on his back and keep you in any game. Much respect to both.
The answer, the culture. So good to see AI healthy and doing well. One of the greatest to ever do it. Loved the back and forth stories from him and Shaq. Great episode guys.
So cool to watch these two guys who were rivals have this conversation and be so close outside of the game That's maximum respect and sportsmanship, but also brotherhood.
Oh I love Allen Iverson. My husband and I been together the same amount of time as him and his wife. Allen you came to the gas station I worked at in Philly and I was stuck when you came to the window. 😂😂😂😂Such a great humble man.
It's refreshing and awesome to see the love AI has for Luka. As loved as he is by the world, most old heads hate Luka. (looking at Shaq, Stephen A, etc). That's great charisma by AI in seeing the basketball genius in Luka.
ive been a mavs fan since 2000 but i was rocking i3 stuff pretty much my whole high school life, hats, basketball shorts and shoes. they were expensive at the time but hearing him praise luka that way feels like i got my money's worth!
I wanted to comment earlier on this guy didn't wanna be negative but who tf is this guy..I wish tha Big Fella would have had another basketball player as host..this guy is not it..
I been of fan of the NBA from the 80's and 90's and early 2000's. I'm excited to hear that Shaq and Allen Iverson have team up together with partnership with Reebok shoes. This is going a amazing!!! profitable business venture for Shaq and Allen Iverson. God bless and much success Shaq and Allen.
I love AI being on podcasts and interviews and it shows so much since the all the smoke interview that I think AI is realizing how much the NBA community loves him and his legacy and they respect the hell out of him.
Man just the sheer gratefulness he has. He is the guy who is just saying “I love this game and will play my heart out because this is better than anything else that can happen to me” and he’s just GRATEFUL. no ego, no pettiness, no hemming and hawing. He’s just grateful and loves the game because it’s joyful and he play his heart out. People praise Dame or Steven Adams for saying it’s just a game but AI was the original perspective. They hating on AI for saying essentially the same thing. The fact that AI keeps track of everybody today shows how much he’d just DIE to get on the court today.
Iverson's influence was bigger than basketball. I remember in the 2000s everybody in middle school wanted to get braids because of him. Then the head and arm bands too. Iverson is the best! 🐐🐐
As Salaamu'Alaikum to Shaq; wishing him continued SUCCESS with this podcast!!✌🏿SALUTE to A.I., one of The GREATEST to EVER play the game; and remain TRUE to himself, and OUR culture!!!👏🏿 I'm acquaintances with his family from Hartford, CT!! They said his father, and uncles were phenomenal ballers as well!✌🏿
Dope interview remember I met Allen iverson in Houston at galleria one of my favorite players outside of Kobe glad you have a frame picture with 🐐 most can’t say that
Dermar Johnson was a great young prospect out of the university of Cincinnati but was in a car accident and he was never the same player and still gave iverson problems
The fact that AI always believed he was better at football is amazing and winning State champs in both Basketball & NFL same year is and being MVP in both is truly amazing

Showing love to the city 🔥
He’s trolling us from ‘01
AI is one of the most humble guys out there. After listening to him speak I gained so much respect for him.
“ Dennis ain’t with us “ 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
This is pure gold. So many things to take away from this Interview.
you can clearly see the respect they have for each other....i love this.
I love it "Its only Basketball"! When you love the game, you love the GAME!
So cool to watch these two guys who were rivals have this conversation and be so close outside of the game That's maximum respect and sportsmanship, but also brotherhood.
The best one yet! AI is the reason I’m a Sixers fan, and people don’t talk enough about his basketball knowledge 🔥
the dude on the side does great job of asking "who r u referring to" it really helps the audience 👍🏻👍🏻
low key he's gonna love this comment 😊
Oh I love Allen Iverson. My husband and I been together the same amount of time as him and his wife. Allen you came to the gas station I worked at in Philly and I was stuck when you came to the window. 😂😂😂😂Such a great humble man.
This is a really weird comment.
Its really weird that you commented that it was a really weird comment@@jordanbabcock9349
@@jordanbabcock9349 her husband is sooooo lucky lol
It's refreshing and awesome to see the love AI has for Luka. As loved as he is by the world, most old heads hate Luka. (looking at Shaq, Stephen A, etc). That's great charisma by AI in seeing the basketball genius in Luka.
Man, I hope Mac gets signed soon. He's so skilled, enthusiastic but grounded, and fun to watch. I wish the Warriors kept him!!
that Iverson hoodie is dope as hell 🔥
where can we get that?
Simple sneaker has em on their website
i got mine from simple sneaker website, its clean
Allen Iverson was a movement! We in Philly will always love him ! Always.
His crossover was so killer, if u fell victim u might cross over 😂😂😂😂
AI the only one I seen immediately acknowledge cam and mase for getting everyone playing the ⏸️ game. Respect
You have to love Shaq. Always generating so many jobs for people. ❤ from🇨🇦
ive been a mavs fan since 2000 but i was rocking i3 stuff pretty much my whole high school life, hats, basketball shorts and shoes. they were expensive at the time but hearing him praise luka that way feels like i got my money's worth!
Shaq: "U ain't get no Icy-Hot??? MAN UP" 😂😂😂😂
Loved watching these 2 guys play when i was growing up in the 90s! What a time to be alive!
I freaking love the "Talkin bout Practice!" thing. I could listen to these two all day and AI with the practice bit is pure awesomeness.!!!
I could just listen to these legends they played the best era of NBA history
Tell the moderator or host, whatever he is, to stop ALWAYS cutting the guest off and let them talk.. nobody wants to hear him talk all the time.
He’s corny asf
He’s useless Shaq do your own thing
I wanted to comment earlier on this guy didn't wanna be negative but who tf is this guy..I wish tha Big Fella would have had another basketball player as host..this guy is not it..
Thank you! It's not about you fall back! Remind me of those radio guys who talk over the track stfu get over yourself
Haha it's bc he's toooooo big of a fan, he can't control his giddiness
You can feel the love Shaq and AI generally have for each other 🖤
I watched a documentary on Iverson not that long ago. It was incredible. I instantly became a fan.
12:54 Shaq will always be a kid at heart. He cracks me up 😂😅
AI the truth. Nuff said 💪🏽
I been of fan of the NBA from the 80's and 90's and early 2000's. I'm excited to hear that Shaq and Allen Iverson have team up together with partnership with Reebok shoes. This is going a amazing!!! profitable business venture for Shaq and Allen Iverson. God bless and much success Shaq and Allen.
I love AI being on podcasts and interviews and it shows so much since the all the smoke interview that I think AI is realizing how much the NBA community loves him and his legacy and they respect the hell out of him.
Soon as I saw Allen Iverson, I Liiked, made this comment and subscribed 😂😂😂 let's go A.I.
Greatest 2000s little guard vs greatest 2000s center, those finals matches were EPIC
Man just the sheer gratefulness he has. He is the guy who is just saying “I love this game and will play my heart out because this is better than anything else that can happen to me” and he’s just GRATEFUL. no ego, no pettiness, no hemming and hawing. He’s just grateful and loves the game because it’s joyful and he play his heart out.
People praise Dame or Steven Adams for saying it’s just a game but AI was the original perspective. They hating on AI for saying essentially the same thing. The fact that AI keeps track of everybody today shows how much he’d just DIE to get on the court today.
Iverson's influence was bigger than basketball. I remember in the 2000s everybody in middle school wanted to get braids because of him. Then the head and arm bands too. Iverson is the best! 🐐🐐
As Salaamu'Alaikum to Shaq; wishing him continued SUCCESS with this podcast!!✌🏿SALUTE to A.I., one of The GREATEST to EVER play the game; and remain TRUE to himself, and OUR culture!!!👏🏿 I'm acquaintances with his family from Hartford, CT!! They said his father, and uncles were phenomenal ballers as well!✌🏿
Dope interview remember I met Allen iverson in Houston at galleria one of my favorite players outside of Kobe glad you have a frame picture with 🐐 most can’t say that
One of the best interviews I’ve seen
Dermar Johnson was a great young prospect out of the university of Cincinnati but was in a car accident and he was never the same player and still gave iverson problems
The fact that AI always believed he was better at football is amazing and winning State champs in both Basketball & NFL same year is and being MVP in both is truly amazing
Iverson wasn't a problem, he was an answer
