However, he never won a championship. Iverson is one of those top players who never won a ring, but his legacy is one of the strongest in the league compared to other players who did win championships.
Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson faced off in the NBA Finals in 2001, when Bryant’s Lakers defeated Iverson’s 76ers. That was the year when Iverson was named MVP.
What are the three players that Iverson named in the Goat conversation?
In a recent interview, Allen Iverson said that Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Michael Jordan should all be in the GOAT conversation. He noted that Kobe is often left out of the conversation because advanced stats favor LeBron and Jordan.
