When it comes to leaving the most impact on a generation of basketball players and fans, there is hardly anyone who could argue the importance of Allen Iverson.
During the early 2000s, Allen Iverson was an icon, and he left an unforgettable legacy in the NBA.
Although Iverson could never win the NBA Championship, he came closest to becoming a champion in the 2000-2001 season.
While Iverson couldn’t lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a title, he established his legacy as a legend for the team by winning just a single game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Speaking of his legacy with the 76ers, the organization plans to pay their tribute to him by unveiling a sculpture dedicated to Iverson next month, as revealed via NBACentral on Twitter.

Iverson may have failed to lead the 76ers to an NBA Championship, but he spent the prime of his career with the team and gave everything he had.
Taking a look at Iverson’s numbers with the 76ers proves how talented he was during the height of his career.
Iverson gave 12 years of his career to the 76ers, where he won NBA Rookie of the Year, 1x MVP, 9x NBA All-Star, 4x NBA scoring champ, and 3x steals leader.
He averaged 27.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 2.3 steals per game for the 76ers during his 12-year stint with the team.
If the 76ers had managed to get him a good supporting cast, Allen Iverson could have certainly led the team to at least one NBA Championship during his prime.
