Philadelphia 76ers - NBA - Allen Iverson - jersey

Allen Iverson signed Spalding basketball in top condition. Beautiful item with hologram and COA. A rarer Mitchell and Ness basketball jersey. Cool item!

His mother was 15 years old when he was born, and his father left her very early. He played basketball at Georgetown University. Iverson was drafted first in 1996 by the Philadelphia 76ers. He played there for ten years. He wore number 3. Iverson was best known for his speed, his layups, and his crossovers. In his first season he was named Rookie of the Year (1996-97); in 2001 he was named NBA MVP (Most Valuable Player); furthermore he started in seven consecutive All-Star Games (2000-2006) – in which he was named MVP twice (2001 and 2005) – and he played for the United States national team. The absolute peak of his career was the NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers in 2001, in which he managed to derail the Lakers’ winning streak for one game. He was also Player of the Year that season.

In January 2007 he went to play for the Denver Nuggets. He went there because he wanted a new adventure, as he himself said, but mainly to have a chance to win an NBA title. He then moved to the Detroit Pistons in November 2008. He was traded for Chauncey Billups, Antonio McDyess and Cheikh Samb. In September 2009 he signed a one-year contract with the Memphis Grizzlies. After two months he returned for a season to the Sixers.

On October 26, 2010 Yahoo! Sports reported that Iverson agreed to a two-year contract worth $4 million net per year with the Turkish basketball club Beşiktaş JK. The club announced the signing at a press conference in New York on October 29, 2010. Iverson made his debut for Beşiktaş on November 16, 2010, in a Eurocup clash against Serbian Hemofarm. Iverson scored 15 points in 23 minutes.

In August 2013 Iverson hung up his playing career.
