NBA fans mock legend’s ‘disrespectful’ statue

NBA fans have not been able to help themselves, roasting the Philadelphia 76ers after Allen Iverson ’s statue was roundly mocked.Watch an average of 9 NBA Regular Season games per week LIVE on ESPN, available via Kayo. New to Kayo?Once the tarp was removed, a statue of Iverson sat on a pedestal, but it was shorter than Iverson, who is only six feet tall.

Sixers fans were quick to question why the statue was so tall, as other notable athletes get statues that tower above crowds.“Why is it so small?” one fan said.“This Calvin Cambridge,” another fan said.“How you gonna honour that man with a paper weight?” a fourth fan said.These statues lie in a row at the team’s training facility and are all in the same style as Iverson’s.

Legends like Wilt Chamberlain and Charles Barkley have similarly sized statues outside of the facility.He joins Barkley, Chamberlain, Julius Erving, Maurice Cheeks, Moses Malone, Billy Cunningham, Hal Greer, Bobby Jones and Dolph Schayes to be immortalised on the walk.Iverson was one of the most dominant players of his generation, spending 12 of his 14 seasons in the NBA with the 76ers.

He was named to 11 All Star teams, seven All-NBA teams, won Rookie of the Year and MVP, and was a four-time scoring champ. Iverson easily made the Hall of Fame, and was a no-brainer to be honoured by the 76ers with a statue alongside other greats.Aussie youngster Dyson Daniels has blown the NBA away with a performance that shows his team might be a genuine title contender.He’s just 16-years-old and has only been playing for two years, but Jongkuch Mach can already look down on NBA star Victor Wembanyama.
