On April 13, the NBA 76ers unveiled a bronze statue of Iverson at Camden Training Gym to pay tribute to the 76ers' all-time celebrity. The bronze statue's movements are Iverson's signature cross-step.
As can be seen from the picture, Iverson was more excited to unveil the curtain, stopped for a long time, and touched and kissed the bronze statue affectionately.
Iverson was drafted by the 76ers with the first pick in 1996 and was named Rookie of the Year in 1997, inducted into the NBA's Top 75 Stars and Basketball Hall of Fame. He was also named MVP in 2001 and led the 76ers to the Finals.

But because this bronze statue is too short and looks a little cute, although Iverson's height is not "outstanding" in the NBA, but this bronze statue is too small, so the 76ers have been frantically complained by fans.
Some netizens said: It costs a lot of money to make a bronze statue, and it doesn't look like it, isn't the wax statue very similar?
Some also said: It's better not to build, and shouldn't Iverson's classic action be the action of listening to and cheering?
Iverson is a memory of many post-80s and 90s generations, although his career is relatively short, but he has left too many classic scenes. The NBA at that time, the big four quarterbacks that everyone talked about, is still fresh in my memory. Now those who retreat, those who go, those who go, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and I don't see the quarterbacks of the year. What do you think about this, and do you know who the four quarterbacks are? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area.
