A lot of former players love to preach about how good their era was in comparison to current players, but Allen Iverson has been showing a lot of love to the younger guys. He has said repeatedly that Russell Westbrook is his favorite player and now he is showing Steph Curry & Kyrie Irving some love too.

Iverson on Stephen Curry and Kyrie Irving, via Showtime Sports:
“Those guys are next level. I didn’t have the handle they do.”
Iverson said that during his documentary titled “Iverson” which will air tonight, May 16th at 9pm. I have to agree and disagree with AI on this topic.
While it is true Steph & Kyrie probably have better overall handles, Iverson’s speed and quickness was deadly and I would have to believe he is quicker than both of these young boys so it would have been fun to see. Respect to AI for always being genuine and honest.
In the meantime, enjoy Iverson’s best career crossovers:
