I remember him scoring over 50 points several times early in his career and leading Philadelphia to the NBA finals. even Michael Jordan had a hard time trying to stop him.

He was known for having an entourage as big as 50 people. He helped popularize in the NBA the hip hop fashion sense of neck tattoos and absurdly large diamond jewelry. He traveled with a hair stylist, and spent lavishly on everyone around him.

...maybe one of his 50 “peeps” will help him? Or he can work in a tatoo parlor? Or sell his big gold dollar signs he wore around his neck? Lots of stuff!

I quit watching NBA basketball the year they went to the Finals. There is no question that the NBA wanted the Iverson/Kobe match up in the finals that year and screwed the Milwaukee Bucks out of the Finals with biased officiating.

Since then I’ve taken the NBA for exactly what it is - fixed.
