(Video) NBA: Allen Iverson Thanked Everyone From Jughead To Jadakiss In The Best Hall Of Fame Speech Ever
I’m still at a loss for words after watching Allen Iverson’s Hall of Fame speech last night. It was the realest talk we’ve heard from an athlete in quite a long time.

Instead he spent most of the roughly 30 minutes just speaking from the heart and making everyone in the crowd and folks watching at home get emotional.

The NBA released Allen Iverson’s official career mixtape today and everything about it is dope! This will be something you rewind and watch more than once. His impact on the culture of the game was almost equivalent to that of Michael Jordan and inspired an entire generation of young ball players. On the court itself he was unguardable in his prime, which is something MJ found out personally. So sit back, enjoy and just salute to one of the toughest competitors the league has ever seen.
