I don't care if it's old or not. I still want to see it. Clown him all you want now but the guy was a cultural icon from the shoes to the cornrows to the tats. And call him overrated if you will but he paved the way for undersized scoring guards who usually would be deemed a liability cause they were to small to guard the 2 and not good enough to be the point at one time not long ago. Guys like Russy and Steph and Monta etc. Those cats and guys like Kyrie and Rose patterned their games after Iverson or at least were big fans of him. AI is that dude and one of the greatest to ever do it. If he had came along in this era when "PER" and all that shyt was lauded he may not have shot as much and adjusted his game if he really knew he was hurting his team. But knowing him he wouldn't have given a fukk and still would have taken his 25 shots a night. And for most of his career he was justified in getting those many a game up.

Folks can say he's overrated, he was a ball hog, shot too much, put his team in bad positions, gambled too much on defense...but I'll be damned if folks say dude AI wasn't out there playing hard as heck. Dude played like he had the hood on his back:wow:
