Allen Iverson: League
built 220 days ago
This is the most common style worn by Allen Iverson. The hair is braided in lines. Allen started wearing braids since his second year in the league. The only braided hairstyle he has worn before this one were the tight line braids in his first year.
Iverson's trademark look includes cornrows, tattoos and a compression sleeve on his right arm due to elbow tendonitis. He is seen as the face of the hip hop culture that became part of the league starting in the late 1990s. He has even release a couple of hip hop CDs.
Iverson has reinvented himself as one of sports' most transcendental stars, rearming his high-octane game and recasting his image. It only seems appropriate that Iverson has found himself through his children. From the moment he stepped into the league and challenged the big boys inside, he has been a magnet for kids. They flock to him, even in China, drawn by his big heart and sheer will to beat the odds. Sales of his jersey are second only to Heat guard Dwyane Wade.

Among the 350 celebrity-athletes in the DBI, Beckham ranks at No. 99, ahead of well-known American athletes such as Allen Iverson, Michael Vick, and Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees. Freddy Adu, one of the league's most popular players, is No. 284 among sports-celebrities in the DBI.
Nights like the one against Orlando generated buzz about Allen being the league's MVP. But Philly's final record, 43-39, wasn't good enough to turn the talk into anything more than speculation. Allen continued scoring at a blistering pace, including a pair of 48-point outbursts, in wins against the Bucks and Carolina Bobcats. He finished with incredible numbers, improving on his scoring (30.7), shooting percentage (.424), 3-point percentage (.308), free-throw percentage (.835), rebounding (4.0) and passing (7.9) from the previous season. Allen ... shook off his injury woes to play in 75 games.

Over the years various off-court issues have led to bad press for Iverson. Nevertheless he will be long remembered as one of the league's most prolific scorers despite his small physical stature and the killer crossover dribble he patented during his early years in the league is unforgettable. Ask Michael Jordan.
