This is my tribute to one of the greatest basketball players I’ve got the chance to see LIVE and in person. I remember going to this actual game at the Capital Center in Landover back in 1996, and it was a loud wave the whole night around the entire arena. It was scouts, NBA players, celebrities, and everybody else who was somebody in attendance that night. My uncle and me were up on the top floor section at awww with all the common folk. I don’t want you to confused my saying this with seeing the greatest player…. but this is the greatest player I’ve seen LIVE. Against Ray Allen and Uconn, rocking the Jordan 11’s, CRAZY! I was 12 with dreams of playing point guard and I just want to thank Allen Iverson for giving the little guys hope that they too can achieve success in a mostly big man dominated game. I’m sure if you grew up in that era like me you know how A.I. must feel right now when teams don’t need him as a starter SMH.
