Allen Iverson and Michael Jordan will forever be one of the best players to step on an NBA court and both had their own uniqueness about them on and off the court. In a new interview with Complex, Iverson discussed playing against Jordan and the trash talk they had during his rookie season.
AI was playing in the Rising Stars Challenge and prior to the game, that’s when he ran into MJ. When AI was walking through the tunnel, MJ said “What’s up little b*tch.” AI shrugged it off and said “Alright, man.” He stayed collected and didn’t let that get to him at all. That was the first time they ever spoke with each other too.
Jordan also felt some type of way about Iverson’s iconic crossover on him. Iverson said how at one point, he told Jordan how much he rocked with him and Jordan replied hilariously “If you rocked with me like that, you wouldn’t have hit me with that crossover.”
