Allen Iverson: Pound for Pound the Best Ever?

When you talking about the best ever; we include all the common names, but we leave out one of the best. The Jordans, Birds, Magics, and Wilts are the first to roll of the tongue.

We even mention today’s players like Kobe and Lebron, but the 6'0", 180 lb guard from Virginia; who took a franchise to the pinnacle of the basketball world, is often never mentioned.

He is the poster child for "Never Give Up."

Playing amongst the Goliaths, this David slays his opponents with an arsenal that includes much more than stones.

With the handles that could rival any And1 player, and an ankle-breaking crossover dribble that has left even MJ himself in its ruin.

Fluidly dancing in and out the paint with the greatest of ease; seamlessly teasing his opponent with his talent.

This MVP is the hero of the little guy, the savior of the small fry, and the slayer of "You Can't Do It."

Now at the latter part of his career, some even believing he’s still in his prime. He is fishing for employment, and sources say he is getting little more than a nibble.

This is a prime example of how the NBA can chew players up and spit them out.

But I believe Iverson has more in the tank to once again disappoint all the doubters.

Where he lands he will bring the game possessing the heart of David, which will slay all the Goliaths.
