Allen Iverson, the former professional basketball player from America, left an indelible mark on the National Basketball Association (NBA) during his impressive 14-season career. Demonstrating his skills at both the shooting guard and point guard positions, he gained renown as one of the greatest scorers and shooting guards, defying expectations despite his relatively small stature (listed at 6 feet, 0 inches, or 183 centimeters). His influence solidifies his place as one of the most impactful players in NBA history.

Iverson is widely acknowledged by numerous media outlets for revolutionizing NBA culture and American sports culture at large through his prominent adoption of the cornrow hairstyle. Adding a personal touch to this cultural shift, there’s a memorable video capturing a unique moment during a game when his mother, Ann Iverson, was braiding his hair, creating a distinctive and lasting image in the minds of fans and observers alike.

Iverson, an 11-time NBA All-Star, not only showcased his skills but also clinched the All-Star game MVP award in both 2001 and 2005. His remarkable contributions to the sport earned him induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2016. Furthermore, his legacy continued to flourish as he secured a spot on the prestigious NBA 75th Anniversary Team in October 2021.
