Wade once said on social media that Iverson was the reason why I chose No.3, and Paul once said, "When I was a child, I wanted to wear a braid like Iverson. My idol is Iverson, and I wear the No.3 jersey because of Iverson! "
Because of the age, many people don't know how strong Iverson was at his peak. The only thing I know is that Iverson led the team to the finals on 200 1, and when facing the OK Lakers in the finals, the powerful Lakers received the only defeat in the playoffs that season. Even so, we underestimated Iverson's strength, as Kobe once said: "Young people today have no idea how strong Iverson is. We should be glad that Iverson's height has not reached 1.95 meters. "
As we all know, the NBA draft of 1996 is called "the golden generation of' 96", but Iverson, who was only 1.83 meters tall at that time, was able to force many talented players to become undisputed champions, which shows how strong Iverson's physical quality and strength are. If Iverson's height is really 1.95 meters, maybe the development of the league situation will really be different.
Iverson averaged 23.5 points and 4. 1 rebounds and 7.5 assists in his rookie season, and he didn't shy away from the basketball god Michael Jordan. He still remembers the scene that almost knocked Jordan down.
When Iverson entered the fifth season of his career, he was able to lead the 76ers to 56 wins and 26 losses, ranking first in the East and second in the league. At that time, he averaged 3 1. 1 point, 3.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists, and won the first and only MVP trophy in his career. Then in the playoffs, Iverson led the 76ers all the way to the finals. I believe everyone knows the final result. In the case that everyone was not optimistic, Iverson defeated the powerful OK Lakers by 40+ in the final G 1. Although the 76ers still lost the finals, Iverson's competitiveness in the game really surprised everyone.
Seriously, it's great that a basketball player with a height of 1.83 meters can have such outstanding strength and become an MVP.
