Allen
Iverson
The Answer is one of
the NBA top scorers. He led the league in points 4 times and his his career
scoring average of 27.7 points per game is third all-time behind only Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain.
Despite the caliber of
his talent, the 76ers incapacity to put together a championship team around him
led to a lot of friction and a trade to the Nuggets in 2006-07, where he now
conforms the NBA's top scoring duo with Carmelo
Anthony.
