Allen Iverson Accomplishments

Most knew him as a leader. At the center of a revolution he made his mark. The start of a change began slowly. Those around the world learned of the controversy. His accomplishment led to the presidency of a certain college.

He won four championships in the 80’s and would have been even better in the 90’s some people say. I think that if Magic Johnson would have stayed in the NBA Michael Jordan wouldn't have gotten as much accomplishments as he did. Even though magic johnson did come back to play a couple more years, he would have been even greater if he hadn't retire. But some NBA players were scared to play the game with someone who had HIV because they didn't know much about the virus and didn't want to get infected with that virus. Magic Johnson has changed basketball and people will forever know and speak of him. That is how Magic Johnson changed basketball in the

I know that hard work got me here. And the day I stop working hard, this can all go away.Kevin Durant is one of the most talented basketball player I know he works hard every day. When KD plays he averaged 28 points per game. KD played for OKC but this year got drafted by Golden State. He has been increasing with the hard work he does the stats show that he is better than Lebron James right now Kevin Durant is 6’9.

Firstly, Michael Jordan’s whole entire career was incredible. All those years of him soaring through the air slamming the basketball ball with absolute authority, and owning the rim. He took controlled of the game basketball with acrobatic drives at the rim that defy the laws of

Jordan burst into the league as a rookie sensation scoring in droves with an unmatchable first step and acrobatic drives and dunks and concluded his career as a cultural icon. Hard work, dedication, and the desire

Watching Jordan play and seeing how great he was, influenced many teens and kids around the world.

On March 18, 1995, Jordan announced that he would be playing basketball again. He ended his short baseball career and rejoined the Bulls near the end of the 1994-1995 regular season, eventually losing to the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

One of the greatest things about Jordan was the legacy that he left on the NBA when he retired. After the Chicago Bulls retired his jersey, the Number 23 has been made legendary in basketball because of Jordan. When people like Lebron try to wear Jordan’s number, people will always see him living in Jordan's shadow. His shoes are still one of the highest selling shoes. Who wouldn't want to wear the shoes of the greatest basketball player of all time? If you ask a random person if they know who Michael Jordan is, it is very likely they will know who he was, what team he played for, what his number was, and that he was the greatest basketball player of all time. Not too many people in the history of sports have that kind of reputation around the world.

Many people believe Iverson shouldn’t be in the top-10 due to not winning a championship, but Iverson always wanted to be the best he could be. Allen stole the spotlight from many big stars such as Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’neal, Tim Duncan, Steve Nash and many, many more. The altercation at the bowling alley may have ruined his career, if he wasn’t given a second chance he would not have inspired many future stars such as LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, Stephen Curry, Carmelo Anthony and more.

While he didn’t win as many championships as some players, he changed the game by introducing a new style of play and, by staying humble

On the court, Johnson is unrivaled. His physical domination, unselfish no-look passes, and ability to assist and steal were apparent from his first games in Lansing, Michigan, where he first earned his nickname. The tallest point guard in NBA history, he led five teams to the championships, was a 12-time All-Star, and won a gold medal with the original Dream Team at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. In 2002, the player that his friend and fellow great Larry Bird called “head and shoulders above everybody else” was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

First off, he played 1,045 games in his NBA career (Sachare 28). It is hard for any player to never foul out in his career. It is even harder for a big man, especially one that other teams wanted to not be in the game due to his dominance. He was also averaging over 40 minutes per game every season and sometimes played the

Kevin Durant wins the most valuable player award in 2014. He gave one of the best speeches that talked about his teammates and his mom. Kevin Durant averaged twenty points and six rebounds a game.

The Supersonics drafted him in the first round and the second pick. Kevin Durant made the all NBA first team five times in a row and NBA All-Stars five times in a row as well.
