The former star of the Philadelphia 76ers, Allen Iverson, was more than an icon of the NBA. Before acquiring international recognition on the professional scene, Iverson made a name for the college level. The 6 -foot star was an icon for Georgetown for two seasons before deciding to continue a larger league.
University players are different today. At the time of Iverson, the athletes could not earn money, even if the leagues and the university teams used their name, their image and their resemblance. This time, players have the chance to earn a living at the start of their sports career thanks to new Nile agreements.
As a university star who has not won much, Iverson is not one of the former bitter players. He pleads for university stars to have a chance to win Nile offers. The renowned temple player spoke about it during his interview for his new memories, “misunderstood”.

“Because I was them. I was the guy who went in the refrigerator and there was baking soda, water and cockroaches everywhere. I was this guy,” said Iverson (2:29). “When they say:” You don’t think they are paid too much? “They are not paid enough.”
Even if he did not win as much at the start of his basketball career, it allowed him to forge a name and become recognizable in his first years in the NBA. Throughout his professional career, Allen Iverson has won more than $ 155 million on the basis of his salary as a player.
With the money he earned thanks to the endorsements, Irson’s career revenues would be around 200 million dollars.
Stephen A. Smith wants to see Allen Iverson wear more costumes after being 50 years old
In June, Allen Iverson achieved a great personal feat by celebrating his 50th anniversary. Even if he is older, he always dresses as if he was 25 years old. During his recent interaction with Stephen A. Smith of ESPN, the longtime journalist encouraged the former double MVP of the All-Star Game to wear more costumes.
For Iverson, it is not new to hear Smith asking him to wear costumes since he harassed the former NBA star on this subject even during their first meeting.
“You have always been. Since I have met you. You and Aaron McKie,” said Iverson. “You enter the locker room and you both do that, the same thing you do now in the series. I’m talking about your dress codes. You both talk about dress codes.”
Smith achieved his wish when Allen Iverson wore a costume during his enthronement to the fame of fame. He also told Iverson that he could help the former star athlete in his costume game. Most of the time, the journalist is seen in costume.
