Why are people always talking about AI like he's somebody?

Question

People compare him to Kobe, D Wade ...etc.

He's never won anything important

Answer 1

cuz he is somebody. when you think allen iverson the first thing that comes to mind is that he crossed jordan and then the legacy began. Yeah he may not have won too many things but he still is very good right now and very important. I could see the nuggets in the championship in like two years. They need to pick up some players though...

Answer 2

except 2000-01 NBA MVP [kind of a big deal]

Answer 5

Great question ,But i don't have an answer..................

Answer 6

of course he is somebody. he is a future hall of famer, one of the most prolific scorers of all time especially in the playoffs. he is pound for pound the greatest nba player of all time. remember this, iverson carried his 6er team on his back to the nba finals by himself. his best players were george lynch, eric snow, mckie, and matt geiger.

Answer 7

when he was in his prime in like the early 2000s, he was a beast, he won an NBA MVP. he is not really washed up, just not as good as before. D Wade was just like A.I in his prime, so he is respected

Answer 8

He used to be something great but hes pretty much irrelevant now.

Answer 9

Championships don't determine the caliber of the player. MJ couldn't have done with he did if his teammates were all Kwame Brown clones.

AI is still top 10, and he IS somebody.

- best crossover of all time
