Durant's temperament, who likes to give beauty Internet celebrities likes, is the only one in the NBA, and Iverson,183 centimeters tall, is definitely the only one in the NBA, with 16 injuries to fight the "OK combination", in the case of the world is not optimistic, Iverson in the finals G1 cut 48 points to give the OK combination that year's only 1 defeat in the playoffs that year.
At this year's All-Star Weekend, Iverson was selected as the NBA's 75th star, and Iverson was selected first thanks to his mother, Ann. When Iverson was born, Ann was only 15 years old, and it was Ann's efforts that led to the future Iverson. The second guy is Georgetown head coach John Sampson, why do you say that?
In high school, Iverson was already a well-known basketball star, but Iverson's personality made many famous schools hesitate, and at this time Iverson encountered trouble, because of the bowling alley brawl, Iverson was arrested and sentenced to 5 years in prison, fortunately, this caused a huge sensation, and finally Iverson was released on parole after 4 months in prison.
However, after this storm, Iverson has been ignored, no basketball school is willing to extend an olive branch to Iverson, at this time only Georgetown University Sampson called to understand Iverson's situation, and Iverson's mother Ann also regarded Sampson as the last straw.
Ann constantly approached Sampson in the hope that he would give Iverson a chance, but having Iverson join Georgetown was not something Sampson alone could decide, and Georgetown's style has always been to build an interior rather than a guard, and georgetown has produced Ewing, Mourning, Uncle Mu and so on in past history.
Iverson was lucky, for him, Sampson continued to lobby the school, and eventually Iverson successfully enrolled in Georgetown, and at this time Sampson gave Iverson a big gift, Sampson despite everyone's opposition, the thin Iverson as the core of the team.
Iverson did not disappoint Sampson, rookie season, Iverson averaged 20.4 points per game, he led Georgetown to the NCAA quarterfinals, in georgetown's second year, Iverson is already the league's most powerful attacker, he averaged 25 points, 4.7 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game, shooting 48% from the field, Georgetown further advanced to the NCAA final four, unfortunately, because of family economic problems, Iverson did not continue to stay in college basketball, he chose to participate in the NBA draft, Sampson had some regrets about Iverson's choice, but he also understood Iverson's pain.
Because of his outstanding performance in the NCAA, Iverson eventually entered the NBA as a champion, he signed an endorsement contract with Reebok, and the poor boy became a millionaire overnight. How does Iverson, who became a rich man, repay Sampson? As we all know, in the NBA, when it comes to gratitude and righteousness, Iverson is definitely at the top of the list.
When Iverson received his first salary, he carried a large bag of cash and wanted to give it to his mentor, but Sampson refused, and Sampson warned Iverson to manage his wealth reasonably and that he was not short of money. Sending money was rejected, Iverson's side of the gift is also very domineering, Iverson also directly bought a luxury car directly thrown in Sampson's yard, there is a big meaning that you don't throw it away, this time Sampson accepted Iverson's return.
After becoming famous, the connection between Iverson and Sampson has never been broken, and even when Iverson and Larry Brown clashed, Larry Brown could only favor Sampson to reconcile, but unfortunately, in 2020, Sampson died of illness, and Iverson also came to Sampson's home to stay up all night to send the benefactor for the last time.
