Cavs guard Collin Sexton mentions Allen Iverson as top 5 NBA player

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton includes Philadelphia 76ers legend Allen Iverson in his top five players list.

The top five players in NBA history debate is one that rages in for hours and hours with no end in sight as everybody has their own opinion on who is the best. Is it Michael Jordan? LeBron James? Larry Bird? Who are your top five?

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton was asked who he thinks the top five players in NBA history are and he had a tough time coming up with just five. There are so many talented and accomplished players in the history of the game, but he did come up with his five.

Among those five was Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson who had a terrific career and is in the Hall of Fame. The other four on the list are Kobe Bryant, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O’Neal, and Magic Johnson.

Iverson had an amazing career winning Rookie of the Year, an MVP award, he led the Sixers to the Finals in 2001, and he could score at will. Normally, he does not get included in these types of conversations, but Sexton clearly has a lot of respect for him. [lawrence-related id=38509,38491,38484]
