It is impressive how after retirement, NBA players have constantly pushed envelopes to strengthen their position in the world. Several have proved that they can thrive in other spheres as well and even revolutionize. One such legend is Allen Iverson. Is it even surprising to watch the Philadelphia 76ers legend take another huge step in his business? Back in 2021, Iverson joined hands with his friend and former NBA player, Al Harrington’s million-dollar brand Viola.

Together with Harrington, he continues to support the purpose of the brand. All set to launch his latest product line under Viola, he decided to promote the brand in the country which molded him into the person he is today.

Harrington’s initiative ‘Viola’ was born out of his desire to give recognition to plant medicine. With Iverson, he has successfully extended his business in Pennsylvania. However, the former Philadelphia 76ers was quite clueless when he first came across Harrington’s business plan.
