Iverson revealed that Jordan lovingly called him a ‘b***h’ during their next meeting. At first glance, it might seem like an insult, but Iverson took it as a badge of honor.
'For him to say that, it was like, the ultimate compliment,' Iverson said. 'I mean, for him to feel that way about me, it was like, wow.'
Iverson also revealed that he was surprised by Jordan's reaction. He didn't expect him to be so cool about the whole thing, especially considering that he had just been crossed over on national television.
'I was expecting him to be a little more upset,' Iverson said. 'But he wasn’t. He was just like, 'Man, that was a great move.' '
Iverson's comments offer a unique insight into the mind of one of the greatest players in NBA history. They also show that, even in the heat of competition, sportsmen can still maintain a sense of respect and admiration for one another.
The interaction between Iverson and Jordan is a testament to the enduring power of sports to bring people together. Even in the midst of intense competition, athletes can still find common ground and show respect for one another.
In the end, Iverson's crossing over of Jordan will go down in history as one of the greatest moments in NBA history. But what happened next, the way that Jordan reacted to it, is just as important.
It shows that, even in the midst of great competition, sportsmen can still maintain a sense of respect and admiration for one another. And it highlights the enduring legacy of two of the greatest players in NBA history.
