Allen Iverson doesn’t nearly get the credit he deserves when it comes to NBA history. Sure, countless fans think of him as the ‘pound-for-pound greatest of all time’. But admittedly, given just how amazing the man was, that title doesn’t quite do him justice.

He carried a severely hurt and very desperate 76ers team all the way to the Finals. And while the team was there, they gave the Lakers their only loss of those entire playoffs.
And of course, this iconic moment came out of it as well.
Now, of course, Allen Iverson has crossed up Michael Jordan as well, something that has stayed with the Bulls legend for a long, long time.
But, before that iconic moment took place, there was another little moment between the two that many haven’t heard much at all about.
And recently, Allen Iverson himself divulged exactly what had happened.

Yes, while that may sound absurd at first. But there is more to it than just the headline here.
But, instead of explaining it ourselves, how about we let you hear it straight from the 76ers legend himself?
Simply put, it was just one of those friendly interactions that warm up every fan’s heart.
However, as fans know now, for this incident in February of 1997, Iverson was going to make the goat pay, in the greatest way imaginable.

The All-Star game incident took place in February of 1997.
While Allen Iverson didn’t take any offense, he made Michael Jordan pay anyway. And he made it happen just a month later.
Even the greatest analysts of the world would choose not to try and break this play down too much.
After all, the greatest way to describe it only needs three words.
‘Beauty in motion’.
