Alienated From Superteams, Allen Iverson Discloses the Impossible Dream to Shaquille O’Neal

In the realm of basketball, the concept of super teams has become increasingly prevalent. However, for the man who was considered the Answer for a struggling Sixers franchise, the concept never materialized. While talking to his Reebok colleague, Shaquille O’Neal, Allen Iverson opened up on what his ideal starting 5 would look like.

Unlike Shaq, who had the opportunity to play alongside Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, Allen Iverson’s dream team remained a dream for most of his career. The new VP of Basketball at Reebok includes himself, Shaquille O’Neal, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant in his dream 5.

Allen Iverson’s disclosure of his dream starting five to Shaquille O’Neal not only provides fans with a fascinating glimpse into the basketball icon’s imagination but also stirs contemplation about the hypothetical scenarios and legendary matchups that could have unfolded with such a powerhouse team. But for Iverson, the super team was never an intriguing concept.

“But I could never imagine playing with Shaq or playing with Kobe. You know what I mean? I would feel like it would be too easy for me. I always felt like, I was playing with four other pros, man. So that is a super team,” revealed the 2001 NBA MVP. Though he prefers the David-Goliath game, given the option to hypothetically link up with other stars, AI’s starting 5 displays figures spanning different eras, positions, and playing styles.
