| - the beginning of his era - |
Coach John Thompson took care of Iverson who needed a protective coach who could give him advice. After two great years at Georgetown, Allen left "dad" and announced himself eligable for the NBA draft. He probably did this to get his family out of the projects before it was too late. Iverson says: "If I can leave this planet knowing that my friends and family are alright, that's good enough for me. That's all I need to know." The rest of the story remains to be seen. -----

| - the Answer's rookie season - |
Allen Iverson's rookie season was an infamous one, he accomplished a lot shit in his first year in the big league.
Iverson finished his rookie season averaging 23.5 points (6th in the league), 7.5 assists(11th), 40.1 minutes (8th), and 2.1 steals (7th). Except for Stephon Marbury(who was 10th in assists with 7.8), he led all rookies in all of those categories. He also averaged 4.1 rebounds, 1.5 on the offensive end. He shot 42% from the field, 34% from 3-point range, and 70% from the free-throwline. His 155 3-pointers made, ranked him 17th in the league.

Iverson's second season saw a large improvement in his game. He cut down his turnovers and shot the ball better(46.1 FG% ). His team won 8 more games than his rookie season. Philly finished the season 31-51, their best ever in the last 6 seasons. Allen finished the season 8th in scoring (22.0), 16th in assists (6.2), fifth in steals (2.20) and 11th in minute (39.4). Iverson also received vote in the All-NBA team selections, as he finished 29th overall in the balloting..

| - Iverson's 3rd season in the big league - |
Season still in progress..(just started). Allen Iverson, with his improvement on assists gave Philly a head start. They had won 10 in a row before losing their first game.
His coach, and te team saw an improvment in Allen, as he was coming to every training sessions, and was even in the weights room, and trying alot harder on-court, as well as off-court!
His team-mates even saw an improvement, and tell Iverson about it, but Iverson dosen't want to hear about it.
This season is still in progress, so I will put up the latest as it comes out..........
