AI in a lot of ways defined 2000's basketball and definitely brought a sort of unapologetic street mentality to the game. He was also part of the reason David Stern cracked down on player dress codes and conduct etc. But he definitely kept the game fresh and sort of ushered in a new era of street style players in the NBA, but none were at his level. He was small for a ball player, but yea his impact can still be felt today.

I feel old as fukk. Are yall seriously asking if Allen Iverson was influential? Anyone in the 25+ range has to know how much impact this man had on basketball and hip hop culture. Outside of Jordan I don't think any other athlete had his level of impact with the youth, particularly Black youth (the only kind of youth I care about :mjpls:)
