Allen Iverson was to the 2000s what Michael Jordan was to the '90s. He's the reason why all your favorite ballers have tattoos or have had cornrows at some point. David Stern hated him and A.I. knew it. In fact, he took every opportunity he had to go against the league. He suggested the NBA's dress code was racist and said practice really wasn't all that important. Through it all, Allen always played his heart out. 

On Saturday, March 1, the Philadelphia 76ers will honor everything A.I. did for the city of Brotherly Love when the organization retires his No. 3 jersey during halftime of their game against the Washington Wizards at the Wells Fargo Center. To commemorate the momentous occasion, let's take a look back at the diminutive guard's incredible career. From the embarrassing ankle-breakers to his epic "Practice?!" rant, here are Allen Iverson's 15 Most Badass Moments.
