We are back with a certified hoop legend. The Answer, Allen Iverson, joins Q and D on Knuckleheads. The guys chop it up about it all with A.I., including his upbringing in Virginia, dominating football and basketball, the struggles he went through that almost ruined his dreams, and why John Thompson was the only one recruiting him when it came time to go to college. He talks about Big John’s impact at college, deciding to go to the draft and being the No. 1 pick. They discuss the success he had in Philly and his impact on the culture and the future of the NBA. A.I. truly had one of the most iconic careers of all time, so tap in!
