While Allen Iverson never won a championship, his captivating ball-handling and scoring ability makes him one of the best to ever play the position.

Iverson was a talent that few NBA point guards have ever matched. He was and is the face of the “crossover” move, and caused ankle-breakers that will be replayed forever.

While his ball-handling was the strongest part of his game, Iverson’s ability to score despite his size was impressive. He won the scoring title four times (all with the 76ers) and averaged an extraordinary 26.7 points per game over the course of his 15-season career.

On top of that, Iverson was an 11-time NBA All-Star, three-time All-NBA First Team selection, Rookie of the Year, and above all, the NBA MVP in 2001 with the 76ers. He also led the league in steals three years in a row from 2001-2003. His efforts in a Philadelphia uniform resulted in his #3 being retired by the 76ers.

While Iverson never won a title, he will forever be remembered as one of the best point guards of all time. People won’t forget about his “practice” rant either.
