Pound-for-pound one of the greatest ever, Allen Iverson was enshrined into the Hall of Fame and recognized by the Denver Nuggets and Emmanuel Mudiay.

One of the all-time great ball handlers was enshrined into the Hall of Fame yesterday along with Yao Ming and Shaquille O’ Neal. Several thousand reach out to each of these players all over every inch of social media.

Since Allen Iverson was a part of the Denver Nuggets for a short time, it was only fit that the Denver Nuggets gave him some social media love, but so did Emmanuel Mudiay.

Several think the undersized Iverson could be pound-for-pound one of the greatest to the play the game, and Emmanuel Mudiay could be among the forefront of arguing for AI.

The Denver Nuggets social media join the fiasco sharing their love for AI and the enshrinement.

They also recognized Iverson and both Twitter and Facebook.

Acquired in 2006 and traded to Detroit in 2008, Allen Iverson has a short stint in the Mile High, but that does mean his legacy was not felt in his short time. Allen Iverson in his short three season did manage to average 25.6 points per game. And, this stint was towards the latter years of his career.

Let’s just say, the 6’0″, 160 pound point guard will always be remembered for his days in Philly, but for Nuggets fans, his electrifying crossovers were enough to well overpower the sting of yet another two first round playoff exits.

Wherever the great Allen Iverson decided to go, he immediately impacted not only the play of the team but also the atmosphere. Iverson was one of the most enjoyable players to watch in NBA history, and this enshirement was a terrific thing for the crossover-king.
