Allen Iverson

I grew up a Georgetown basketball fan.  My mom turned me onto Georgetown basketball and I watched most of their games during the Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning, and Dikembe Mutombo years. Although Patrick is and always will be my favorite Georgetown player, I also love the little guy Allen Iverson.

The first time I saw him dribble the ball as a freshman at Georgetown I was hooked.  He is simply one of the most enjoyable basketball players to watch.  He is tiny and yet he never fails to take it right at the biggest and strongest players in the game with an fearlessness that you have to admire.

Last night we took our kids down to Denver to see the NBA All-Star game. It was a blast. The east finally had a team that could compete with Iverson, Shaq, LeBron, Duane Wade, and a host of other great players.

We got there an hour before the start and got to watch these huge stars playing around with each other in warmups.  Shaq and Iverson must be good friends because they were having a great time with each other.

The game itself was like all NBA All-Star games, pure showtime.  There were alley-oops and dunks, big time three point shooting, and very little defense.  The game was close most of the way, but the east pulled away in the end to win 125-115.

And the MVP? None other than the little guy, Allen Iverson, who did everything for the east and deserved it.

It made for a great ending for a great night.

I was so happy to be there to witness it.

allen iverson
you are basically amazingly gorgeous and i have such a good picture of you from the nuggets game when i went to denver and i was wondering if it was possible to get it autographed.
please let me know!

Hey Allen, I am from Philly, but I am currently enlisted in the United States Air Force and stationed in Phoenix, AZ at Luke AFB. I watch all the Sixers games via NBA league pass and I must say that you are by far the best player in the league. I don't know if Billy King realizes how dangerous the current team is. When you and C. Webb do the bulk of the scoring, the games usually go down to the wire, but when Iggy gets involved and the rest of the team contributes, your unstoppable. Look at Wednesday night's game against the Cavs. If the team focused on the Trio (you, C. Webb, and Iggy) instead of the Duo, we would be talking about title contention. The Cavs game showed that you three can all get your points, but you lead the way. 29pts and 12 ast is awesome. Who trades a player that does that every night. If the Sixers trade you, I will be extremly heated! What other player in the league puts it all on the line every night, regardless of how they feel............none, only you.

I'm more than Allen Iverson's #1 fan. Ilove him. And I know everything about him. But my whole life I haven't found his address or some way to contact him personally.

[Loniece aka Mrs. Iverson]

(No offense twanna) Iverson is the most sexiest person in the whole entire world! He also is the best ball player in the world too! He can and will demolish every person who steps on the court and challenges him. He also is a very good role model, if it wasn't for him i would never had tried out for my high school basketball team and give the chance that i have now! I learned from watching him do his thing even if he lost the game he still did what he had to do and because of that i thank him so much. I have any and everything that has anything to do with himm from hats, to posters, to clothes and anything else. My dream goal is to one day meet A.I. and attend one of his games at their house. Hopefully one day i will acheive that goal! I love allen iverson with all my heart and that will neva stop, out of all the people in the world that love him i am number one! My love for him is unconditional!
