Impact Friday: Who had more of an impact on basketball culture, Allen Iverson during his tenure with the Philadelphia 76ers or Michael Jordan during his run with the Chicago Bulls? Allen Iverson paved the way for small, nimble, and fast guards to feel as if they had a place in the NBA. Off the court, Iverson headed an urban revolution in the league, shifting the culture from a business atmosphere to street swagger. Iverson’s cornrows and baggy clothing inspired a unique style that is still being utilized and expanded today. On the other hand, Michael Jordan is perceived by many to be the greatest of all time and certainly helped to increase the popularity of the NBA. Jordan was an international icon and brought an unmatched playstyle and competitive spirit to the court. “Air Jordan” captivated basketball fans around the globe and quickly became one of the more marketable athletes in all of sports. A multi-time gold medal winner and NBA champion, his name is usually synonymous with consistency and greatness. 👉🏽(via: @nba, @espn) #nba #nbanews #michaeljordan #basketballnews #basketballtopics #basketballpodcast #triroc #tde #sportspodcast #sports #nfl #nflnews #football #footballnews #footballpodcast #alleniverson #chicagobulls #nbatopics #footballtopics #nbatopics #philadelphia76ers #impactfridays
