Allen Iverson is famous for wearing Reebok shoes since signing a lifetime deal with them in 2001. The deal was said to favor Reebok but Iverson was willing to sign it anyway since he felt they always stood by him even though his childhood didn’t go as well as it might have. Iverson wasn’t a tall player and may have been shorter than his recorded height. I estimate him to be 5’8 when I rsearch photos and compare him to other players. He relied on his quickness and vertical leap to get by players and score. Thus, many basketball players who admired Iverson also wanted to wear his shoes to try to gain some of that athletic advantage for themselves.

Notes:

• Allen Iverson is one of the greatest scorers in NBA history who has a tremendous amount of respect for Michael Jordan. When Iverson spent time in prison, he thought he wouldn’t get to play in the NBA, but he got his chance when coach John Thompson of Georgetown University was willing to take a chance on him. Iverson remained out of trouble and was drafted in 1996.
