“I can’t tell you how many photos I’ve seen of me and you guys, on the free throw line, talking nonsense and just smiling. Every time someone asks me,
“Who is the greatest of all time?”
“I will not persuade you. MJ is always Number 1. I know you guys will say the same thing. Black Jesus, that’s a GOAT.
“But Number 2?
“Number 2, I would always say it was Kobe Bryant. No one is tougher than you. Nobody gets more than me. We are connected forever in this game in this life. I just wish we had more time.”
Iverson was one of the people who deeply felt the loss of Kobe. They met in the NBA Finals in 2001 and although the Lakers dominated the Sixers, Kobe knew he had a great rival in Allen. That duel is a thing of the past, but will never be forgotten like Kobe and his incredible legacy.
