The diary read March 12, 1996, the Sixers faced the Chicago Bulls and an entire city was left speechless by the abundant talent of the freshman guard … his name Allen Iverson.
Rookie Allen Iverson had not yet developed the reputation he was going to reap years later, but no one questioned how ingenious he was with the ball in his hands. He was later nicknamed “The Answer”.
However, in order to be considered the … answer to every problem, he had to prove his worth in practice and the one who caused him was none other than Michael Jordan. In fact, Phil Jackson had instructed the star of the “bulls” to mark him in this phase. Almost two decades have passed since it was indelibly engraved in the NBA Bible, as Iverson abruptly changes direction, makes the well-known crossover move and although “Air” tried to cut the shot … the story was already written.
Like today 25 years ago … Michael Jordan was on the wrong side – of the few times – of history.
25 years ago today, Allen Iverson crossed up Michael Jordan as a rookie ??
