NBA legend Allen Iverson has some interesting thoughts on the greatest player of all time debate.
On Thursday, Iverson appeared on Rachel Nichols’ Headliners podcast and had glowing things to say about Kobe Bryant.
A.I. said he believes Bryant and Michael Jordan are the two best NBA players of all-time, and then everybody else comes after them.
“I’ve never seen nobody as competitive as him but Mike,” Iverson said of Kobe Bryant. “Like, when people talk about your favorite players, or the best players in the world, I say Mike, and I say Kobe, you know what I mean? And then everybody else.”
When asked where he would put LeBron James Iverson said “definitely after that.”

LeBron fans where not happy with Iverson’s comments on the Nichols’ podcast.
“Bron is WAY higher than Kobe all time. No matter who you think the goat is, Kobe isn’t even close to Bron” said one fan.
“Of course he says this Jordan was his idol and Kobe was his rival but he’s wrong. Kobe doesn’t belong in this conversation AT ALL” commented another fan.
At the end of the day, it’s hard to argue against Iverson, considering he played against Bryant, Jordan, And James during his career.
