For those confused on why there’s a lot of Allen Iverson stories lately, here’s a little reminder: He will officially announce his retirement at the club’s home opener Oct. 30th (this Wednesday).
LeBron spoke about it today and made a very strong statement. I think a lot of fans will agree. Check out what he said about AI & weigh in!

During a previous interview with ESPN’s Chris Broussard, LeBron admitted that Iverson, along with Michael Jordan, was one of his favorite players to watch on tape. Now he’s taken his infatuation one step further, calling AI “pound for pound, the greatest player ever,” per The New York Times‘ Harvey Araton.
Understand that LeBron isn’t calling Iverson the greatest player ever. Michael Jordan can rest easy knowing The King hasn’t attempted to defile his legacy.
When he says “pound for pound,” LeBron is talking about actual weight, about Iverson’s size.

Hands down! I agree.
