Why did Iverson become the No.1 scholar of the 96 Golden Generation?
Why did Iverson become the No.1 scholar of the 96 Golden Generation? In the 1996 draft, it can be said that there were a lot of talents, and Iverson was elected as the top pick in the fierce competition. If the draft of 1996 is moved to this year, if the top pick of this year's draft is Iverson, a guard with a height of 1 m 80 and also a shooting guard, think about what the major media will report, without blowing. In the 1990 s, it was still dominated by insiders. In that year's draft, there should be a big man and a defender. At that time, Iverson's combat record was very poor, and some people must think that the 76 ers were too bold.
Iverson gagged these people at 30 points in the first game. In the rookie season, he was elected as the best rookie with an average of 23.5 per game, and scored 40+ in five consecutive games in the rookie season. No one can break it so far! Iverson's performance in college can be said to be dominant, although in the year when he entered the NBA, Camby's college team won the NCAA championship and Camby won all individual awards. But Iverson's horrible jumping ability, personal physical quality and tenacious will can be said to be much stronger than Camby, the top scholar at that time.
In fact, Iverson's winning the first prize also has a lot to do with the team that chose him. If the No.1 draft was not held by the 76ers at that time, there was a high probability that it would be Camby, but at that time, the 76ers were not short of big players and a backcourt player who partnered with stackhouse, so there were two suitable players for the 76ers: Marbury and Iverson. At that time, Kobe was still a high school student and entered the NBA, which was not optimistic. Moreover, Kobe entered the NBA for two years before he rose. As an international player, Nash can hardly compete with local players for the top spot.
Compared with Marbury University, Iverson performed better, but Iverson was shorter than Marbury, but Iverson was chosen in the end. Iverson is from Virginia for quite a reason. The 76ers are his hometown team. There are also two short stories about the 76ers' boss and Iverson. When the boss of 76ers recalled that he had won the first lottery, he excitedly told the interview: We will choose Iverson, there is no doubt about it! There is also a 76ers boss who has a hard choice between Marbury and Iverson.
I sent someone to follow two doors and found that Iverson was loyal to his family and friends in his life, so I chose Iverson. How did the nickname Iverson get the answer? After the 76ers signed Iverson as the No.1 scholar, many media scholars questioned the choice of the 76ers, thinking that Iverson's short height and his bad hobbies such as fighting were not worth it. After a season, Iverson told them with practical actions that he was the "answer" of the 76ers.
