Allen Iverson

Allen Iverson is an American basketball player who competed in the NBA from 1996 to 2010, primarily with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Standing under six feet tall, he became one of the league's most prolific scorers and a cultural icon whose cornrows, tattoos, and streetwear influenced a generation of players.

His famous 2001 press conference rant about "practice" became an enduring sports meme: We're talking about practice.
