Who do you think had a bigger impact and influence on the NBA, Allen Iverson or Michael Jordan?

When Allen first went to NBA, he dreamt of shooting over Jordan because we know how terrific of a defender MJ was. After doing that world renowned AI crossover, dribbling a couple, and a footback, Iverson just did his dream.

Everybody back in the 90's wanted Jordan, and Allen was no different. Allen was interviewed on why being in the college football he chose to play basketball too, he answered it's because of Jordan. I was a young kid back in the 90s and i can remember holding a ball first before holding a pen. I cant shoot the ball because it's damn heavy for me then, but i already knew how to dribble than write my name. Its all because of Jordan. You could always ask AI himself on who made the biggest impact on NBA and he'd answer it's Jordan. MJ overshadowed everyone including long time idol Dr J. Gotta tell you what, no basket ball player wont shed a tear when the day MJ passes this earth (knock on wood) ..and we'll see most NBA players with chewing gum and bald head when that happens. That's how big MJ was and his influence reverberates not only in NBA but throughout the sporting world

Are you kidding? Michael Jordan is arguably the best and most important NBA player ever, he won six championships and he helped make basketball popular all over the world. Everyone wanted to be him in the 90s. Iverson was a great player who achieved a lot, but his relevancy did not last that long.

If you're talking on the court MJ. Everyone wants to play like MJ.

But let's he real here everybody wants to look like allen Iverson. Hahaha you see all these guys with tattoos? Hmmm? Sure Jordan brought baggy shorts but guess who brought the arm sleeve? Allen made it what it is today. Come on now how many players have you seen rocking the corn rows and headband combo? Even light skinned players like Birdman. Allen wore glasses off the court before today's players did. (Russell westbrook does it the most today) allen brought the newly found swagger to the game, that you see these young long sock foam posite, and florescent short kids wearing. That's AI, he started that fire.

If you combine Jordan on the court and AI off the court then what you get is Dr.J the smoothest and coolest player of all time. Wooooh him and George gervin were ice Eee

Jordan. Anyone buying Iverson shoes these days? I don't think so.

MJ is brought up in every NBA conversation so I'm going to go with MJ you never hear about allan

this is a very good question, but i say MJ, everybody wanted to do everything like him, you even wanted to chew gum like him, i even think he should be the nba logo instead of jerry west

absolutlly is Michael jordan, jordan is great and make a big affection

Are you being serious right now?

MJ
