Allen Iverson - The Answer to The Question!

Allen Iverson is considered to be one of the most prolific and consistent scorers in the history of the game (his career average of 28 points per contest is third all-time behind only Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain).

Iverson ranks third all-time in points per game. He has averaged 27.9 points per game in his career, trailing all-time leader Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain in this category by only 2.2 points per game. Iverson is one of only 30 players in NBA history to score over 20,000 points in his career, and he was the 6th fastest in the history of the game to achieve this feat.

Iverson's trademark crossover dribble is regarded as one of the most effective moves in the game[citation needed], making him difficult for a defender to contain in one-on-one play. Iverson is also known for his ability to draw fouls, at times seeming to get the free-throw line almost at will. He is regularly one of the NBA's leaders in free throws attempted, and in free throw percentage.[9]

Iverson has averaged 6.2 assists per game over his career. He has also averaged 3.9 rebounds per game.

On defense, Iverson is also an adept ball-thief and is known for playing the passing lanes. He regularly ranks among the league leaders in steals and averages over 2 steals per game for his entire career.

Iverson's assists-to-turnovers ratio is actually better than that of some other high scorers such as Lebron James and Kobe Bryant. Iverson's ability to effectively employ such a versatile combination of scoring methods — driving to the basket, drawing fouls, shooting from outside, and creating his own shot off of the dribble — all at only six feet tall, has made him one of the most distinctive and dominant players in NBA history.

People talk smack about Iverson and his work ethic those people are blind he carrierd his team vs the lakers in the NBA finals and he didnt give up on them like Lebron did agasint the celtics,magic,mavericks. He most likley praticed more then msot people in the NBA so people got to stop haten on A.I. They should look past him missing one practice and see that he is one of the greatest players and third greatest scorer in the history of the NBA

Iverson should get alot of credit for his 3rd all-time achievement considering he was only 6ft tall when the average NBA height is over 6ft 6 in. Wilt was the tallest player of his era till Kareem and Jordan was 6ft 6in which is taller than most guards of his era.

i don't think it's so simple to stop iverson..if let him go left would stop him maybe somebody would do it!

Too bad he didnt take him to the hole, say like Arenas vs Kobe.
