Allen Iverson: Nba All-Star
built 220 days ago
Allen Iverson is an enigma to anyone who knows him. Is he the incredible talent that has been turning the NBA on its head? Or is he the gangsta that he has no problem portraying himself as? Iverson isn't easily categorized, but he has the innate ability to draw very vocal opinions.

Allen Iverson scored the last 11 of 13 points as he led the Sixers past the young Bucks 89-83 in Game Four. With that win, the 76ers regain homecourt advantage and tie up the series at two games apiece. The first team to rack up two wins first earns the right to play Los Angeles in the NBA Finals.

"Allen Iverson is the ideal character to be represented in the All-Star Vinyl line," said Upper Deck sports figure product manager Dave Sanders. "Allen's larger than life personality and charisma, on and off the court, is reflected in the exaggerated features and underground, comic-book inspired styling of the action figures, which makes this line a particularly desirable addition to the All-Star Vinyl portfolio."

After leaving Georgetown after his sophomore year, Allen Iverson was selected with the first pick (1st overall) in the 1996 NBA Draft by the Philadelphia 76ers and has led the team in scoring ever since. As a rookie he quickly gained national popularity for a famous left-to-right crossover dribble which caused some defenders, most notably Michael Jordan, to stumble. At just 6'0" and a slender 165 pounds, Iverson employs his superior quickness, great ball handling ability, and unbending determination to single-handedly carry his team on his back. He had arguably his best season in 2001, leading the NBA in scoring, winning the NBA Most Valuable Player Award, and reaching the NBA Finals. Allen Iverson carried his team to a shocking overtime victory in the series opener in Los Angeles, and nearly upset the Lakers again in Game Two. The Lakers went on to win the series in five games.

On June 26, 1996, Iverson was the first player selected in the NBA draft by the Philadelphia 76ers. He signed a $9.4 million contract and set his sights on becoming the best player in the NBA. If he was not the best on the court in his first season, Iverson quickly established himself as one of the most exciting players in the league. His crossover dribble proved to be so explosive that the NBA issued a memo to referees across the league addressing one individual player's single move. Iverson had to change his crossover dribble slightly to avoid travelling but that did not diminish his achievements. He led his team and all NBA rookies in points (23.5), assists (7.5), steals (2.07), and in minutes played (40.1) per game.
