Even in the stands Iverson still remains a Philly icon

PHILADELPHIA >> Allen Iverson is The Answer that finally became the question.

Take it away, Alex Trebek! “In 2001, this 76ers guard became the shortest NBA MVP in history & was the All-Star Game MVP in an Eastern Conference victory.”

Perhaps an original Hornets fan, Kris incorrectly guessed 5-foot-3 Mugsey Bogues on the $200 board in the Eastern Conference category. The two other “Jeopardy” contestants stood in silence as they, much like hapless defenders back in the day, were unable to solve the 6-foot Allen Iverson.

Iverson still pops as a pop culture fixture almost as much as the days when he was the cool and controversial All-Star over a Hall of Fame career in Philadelphia.

Ten years after he played his final NBA game , Iverson still has crossover appeal with mad hops.

The Philadelphia watering hole Misconduct Tavern collaborated with brewer Yards Brewing Co. to launch the “Practice-Style IPA,” an Iverson-inspired cold one that offers notes of tangerine, grapefruit, pear and tropical fruit.

We’re talking about fermentation!

And the AI-PA pub crawl can be made in style: Reebok, the sneaker company Iverson has endorsed since his 1996 rookie season, just dropped the $150 “Question Mid Double Cross” with a design that pays homage to his first signature sneaker.

If the sneaks aren’t enough of a fashion accessory (or collectible) for fans, Iverson can still cup his hand to his ear and get a standing ovation from a packed house during his regular visits to the Wells Fargo Center.

“I’m happy in the sense that the people around me make me happy,” Iverson said. “It’s easy to be happy.”
