However, he made some lifelong friends on the court, some of whom were on his team and some of whom he played against.

The 76ers? Legends Walk features NBA greats like Wilt Chamberlain, Moses Malone, Charles Barkley, and Dolph Schayes to name a few. It?s high time Allen Iverson also got his due credit. Despite his immense fan popularity during his basketball career and incredible individual achievements in the NBA, his off-the-court life was riddled with problems.
From spending time in jail at a young age (before entering the NBA) to constantly being in the NBA?s bad books because of his nonchalant attitude, the NBA legend has seen it all. His journey has inspired millions to fall in love with the game and the NBA Hall of Famer will always be an integral part of Philadephia 76ers’ history.
