Allen Iverson Will Go Down An Icon

Allen Iverson will never be forgotten by NBA fans. Whether it be his spectacular showings on the court or his presence off the court, Iverson is looked at as a cultural icon, one that transcended the sport of basketball at times and became a household name for the NBA.

A teammate of Iverson’s once shared a hilarious story of how he paid a Celtics ball boy $2000 to get him a beer, only to see that the ball boy got him a small amount and kept the rest for himself. Iverson let it go, as he was just happy to have something for himself on the bus.
