Allen Iverson

Iverson is the purest identity vote in this league. Too small, too loud, too real — and he still cooked the NBA anyway. If you’ve ever cared about heart, bag, aura, or style as part of greatness, AI is your hill. Voting against Iverson doesn’t feel like basketball… it feels like disrespect. Iverson averaged 26.7 points per game for his career and won four scoring titles — at 6 feet tall.

Case Against: No ring, and critics say brilliance without hardware has a ceiling.
