To people more than a decade later, he may just be a thin back in the No. 3 76ers jersey.

He may also be the "Iron King" who has been seized by people and played with enthusiasm.

He's not the strongest on the court, and he's not the most accurate shot, but he's certainly the fastest.

You can build a wall under the basket or you can foul him viciously, but his determination to charge inside again and again is unshakable.

You can question him for being riddled with negative press, and he is a cancer in the eyes of the media and the team, but the fans, in the hearts of the fans, the answer is eternal!!

......

On January 8, the Wizards will host the incoming Philadelphia 76ers. The name of "Philadelphia Boss" Allen Iverson is loud enough, but the former "Philadelphia Boss" is already on the Wizards, and it is Charles Barkley, who is a 76ers celebrity.

In the '84 Golden Generation Draft, the 76ers selected "Fliggy" Barkley with the fifth pick. Eight years with the 76ers were the prime of Barkley's career. During this period, he won the rebounding title, was selected to the All-Star team for a while, and also appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

It wasn't until 10 years later that he ranked in the top three in the Philadelphia 76ers Best Player Selection, and you must know that there have been bugs in the history of the 76ers, such as "Big Big Dipper" Chamberlain and "Dr. J" Irving.

"Answer" Iverson, the shortest champion in history, claims to be 183, but the actual situation may be about 178.

He is the memory of the times.

Iverson's mother, Ann Iverson, was 15 years old when she gave birth to him. Later, Ann discovered that the violent and drug-prone environment of Iverson Jr.'s biological father, Bruton, was not conducive to Iverson Jr.'s growth, and Iverson Jr. and his mother left Bruton at the age of 3.

In the easternmost part of a small town called Newster, Virginia, Ann meets her new boyfriend, Michael Freeman, with whom she lives in a cheap Sttward Garden apartment. But the environment here is worse than in Hartford, where you can see the drug trade and shootouts in broad daylight. Although Ann worked all over the place to make ends meet, Iverson's home was still in a poor environment, with no electricity, no water, no food, and the sewer pipes often burst, leaving the house full of dirty water.

Subsequently, Ann and Freeman had two more daughters——— Brandy, born in 1979, and Lisa, born in 1991 (it was because of Lisa's illness that Iverson made up his mind to join the NBA in 1996).

The pressure of early survival and Iverson Jr.'s physical talent set him on the path of sports. He excels in both sports, rugby and basketball.

Iverson led the varsity football team to the Virginia High School championship in 1993 as a quarterback at Sanctuary High School, and he also led the varsity basketball team to the same honor. On Feb. 14 of the same year, Iverson and three friends got into an argument with a group of white teenagers at the Circle Bowling Alley, which quickly escalated into a brawl involving more than 50 people, in which more than 20 people were seriously injured. The district court quickly handed down a verdict in the case: all four blacks were sentenced to 15 years in prison, and Iverson was sentenced to five years in prison for leading the trouble. In December 1993, with the help of the Supreme Court's National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Iverson was released on parole after only four months in prison.

Although the lawsuit was won, Iverson did not spend five years in prison, but the impact was lingering.

In 1994, Iverson graduated from Holy Land High School, and Iverson participated in the Nike training camp and won the MVP. Due to Iverson's reputation for being in prison, he did not have much room to choose a college after graduating from high school, and many elite schools did not consider him.

Opportunities often need to be found on their own. Iverson's mother, Ann, approached Georgetown University coach John Thompson to give Iverson a chance, and John Thompson agreed to let Iverson join the Georgetown University basketball team. It was this opportunity given by John Thompson that allowed the NBA not to miss this inspirational shortest pick.

......

In the 2000-2001 season, coach Larry Brown, who was highly respected but lacked flexibility, unexpectedly decided that Iverson, who was only six feet tall, would switch to shooting guard, and as a result, the 76ers won the season 10 in a row. He also won four awards at the end of the season, setting a new NBA record: Allen Iverson was named regular season MVP, Larry Brown was named Coach of the Year, Deacbe Mutombo was named Defensive Player of the Year, and Aaron McGee was named Sixth Man of the Year.

This season, the Philadelphia 76ers reached the Finals. In the first game of the finals against the Lakers, Iverson grabbed 48 points, 6 assists and 5 steals throughout the game, leading the team to the first victory of the Finals, but because he could not stop the Lakers' Shaquille O'Neal from wreaking havoc in the restricted area, the 76ers then ended the Finals with four consecutive losses.

No one could have imagined that this was the pinnacle of the 76ers in the Iverson era. Since then, the team has not been able to continue its strong streak, and although Iverson's stats are still impressive, the team's results have regressed year by year. Iverson's absence from the team's training provoked Larry Brown's strong resentment again, and the relationship between the two deteriorated again, resulting in Larry Brown moving to the head coach of the Detroit Pistons after the '03 season. It wasn't until Iverson left the Denver Plateau in 2006 that an era came to an end.

Of course, at this time, people still think that Iverson and his 76ers are still on the way, and the championship window has not closed.

......

The 76ers aren't doing very well at the moment, although Iverson is still averaging 27 points per game and still ranks second on the scoring list, behind Magic No. 1 Tracy McGrady. But the team's record is in a quagmire, with 12 wins and 10 losses and only sixth place in the East, which is not good news for the 76ers, who are aiming to win the championship. Compared with the lack of performance, the conflict between the team's coach and the team's No. 1 star worries 76ers fans.

Of course, the Wizards should not be too happy, and the 8-14 record is already on the edge of the cliff. If you can't get a long winning streak, it's likely that this season will be behind the back of the playoffs.

MCI Center Arena.

The Washington Wizards take on the Philadelphia 76ers.

Both teams start.

76ers: Center Todd McCulculkey, power forward Keith Van Horne, small forward Aaron McGee, shooting guard Allen Iverson, playmaking guard Alex Snow

Wizards: Center Patrick Ewing, power forward Dennis Rodman, small forward Charles Barkley, shooting guard Michael Jordan, playmaking guard Tim Hardaway!!

All the media outlets who got this list of appearances were thinking, Mom, I read that right. Adding up to 200 years old, the average 40-year-old lineup plays the starting line???!!!

The combination of the old men of the stadium was born, setting off a whirlwind of death?!
