Allen Iverson is arguably the finest point producer ever among players with smaller statures. At just 6’0″, Iverson leveraged his quickness and talent to tally points around bigger and taller opponents throughout his time in the NBA.
He entered the league as a spectacle, showcasing his iconic crossover move on elite defenders, including Michael Jordan.
Iverson’s playing career may have reached its apex in 2001 when he was honored as the league’s MVP and guided the 76ers to the NBA Finals, where they were defeated by the LA Lakers.
Notwithstanding some personal difficulties, Iverson stood out as one of the most prolific scoring guards in NBA history.
