Allen Iverson Top Players Of The All Time

Allen Iverson is being inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame next month, and recently sat down with rapper Jadakiss for a wide-ranging interview including his top five players of all-time -- though Iverson was hard-pressed to settle on a fifth.

"Mike [Jordan], Shaq [O'Neal], Kobe [Bryant], LeBron [James]. [The fifth one] could be a lot of dudes," he said.

Rather than pick one last player to fill out his roster, Iverson listed five active players in addition to James who impress him today, choosing Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony. Iverson's preference for scoring point guards is no surprise, given that he averaged 26.7 PPG in his career, the seventh-best scoring average in NBA history.

HORNETS’ KAMINSKY SAYS HE MUST BECOME BETTER DEFENDER

But, frankly, the most interesting answer I got was when I asked (Frank) Kaminsky, the ninth overall pick in 2015, about what he still perceives as his flaw.

"I’ve got to be a better overall defender. I was overwhelmed at times," Kaminsky said. "My preparation, obviously, needs to get better. I so want to be a more consistent player. I’d have a good game and then disappear in the next."
