A truly electrifying player with a flair for the dramatic, Allen Iverson won four scoring titles and made 11 All-Star Games in his 14-year. He was one of the most prolific scorers in NBA history, despite his small stature (listed at 6 feet, 165 pounds). His regular-season career scoring average of 26.7 points per game currently ranks ninth all time, and his playoff career average of 29.7 points is second only to Michael Jordan. Playing most of his career in Philadelphia with the team that drafted him #1 overall in 1996, "AI" won NBA Rookie of the Year honors and was later named league MVP in 2000–01 as he led the 76ers to the NBA Finals.
Early in the 2006-07 season, Iverson was traded from Philly to Denver where he played for Coach George Karl. This offered Denver Nuggets powder blue road jersey was issued for AI and possibly game-worn during that campaign. Iverson averaged 24.8 points and 7.2 assists over 50 games for the Nuggets that season. The Adidas 100% nylon jersey is properly tagged on the left front tail with the season hang tag ("2006-2007") and size ("44" and "2' L.B.") flag tags. "DENVER" is scripted in cursive across the chest with AI's number "3" front and back, all in white outlined in blue and gold tackle twill. Iverson's NOB is ached across the upper back in white letters. The shirt shows light evidence of wear with stretching on the armpits and collar, and some frayed threads on the back letters. Our consignor procured this from a reliable source with direct player access, but there is no visual evidence that Iverson wore it in a regular season game.
