There is not an NBA OG out there that shows more love to the current generation of players than Allen Iverson.
It feels like most retired NBA players spend their time throwing shade at the current iteration of the league whenever they can. Yes, we’re looking at you, Charles Oakley.
Iverson heaps praise upon the current stars of the league whenever he can and it’s always great to see. But he did a little bit more than that with Ja Morant after the Grizzlies’ guard had yet another career night against the Spurs on Monday.
Iverson legitimately just passed the torch to Morant with this tweet. He stamped him as an MVP “sooner or later” and put Morant’s jersey on his MVP trophy.
This is a moment, y’all.
