Allen Iverson Opens Up on Bringing Hip-Hop to the NBA & Being Misunderstood

The future NBA Hall-of-Famer opens up on how he changed sports

Over the weekend, Showtime aired their IVERSON Documentary, showcasing highlights from his long journey to the NBA and still drawing criticism from media. In a recent interview with Complex TV, the former Philadelphia 76ers basketball player opened up on being relatable for fans of the game and inspiring youths in the inner city to live out their dreams. With bringing a new fashion sense and urbanizing the league, Iverson was initially under-the-radar being himself, until his style became mainstream around the world.

David Stern would soon implement a dress code in 2004, which was a direct result of Allen’s influence on the entire game. Watch more from his interview, including not wanting to talk about the practice rant, his controversial top 10 rappers list that left out 2pac and more in the 12-minute conversation.
