For 722 games over 12 seasons, Allen Iverson dazzled the fans in the city of Philadelphia. He threw the 76ers on his back averaging 27.6 points, 6.1 assists, and 3.9 rebounds while winning MVP in 2001 and guiding the Sixers to their last finals appearance in the same season.
The man they call “The Answer” provided one on a nightly basis leading the Sixers to improbable wins and deep runs into the playoffs. No matter what ailment he was dealing with. No matter how his body was feeling. No matter what was going on with him personally. Iverson showed up to play and gave it his all every night.
