Philadelphia 76ers legendary guard Allen Iverson is always one to honor the great players in history. Whether the players of yesteryear or players of today, Iverson always acknowledges great players, especially for the Sixers.
During the All-Star game, a picture floated around of Iverson and Julius Erving sitting next to each other while taking in the game in Cleveland. Right in front of the two legends taking in the game was big man Joel Embiid, who was playing in the game representing the Sixers.
Iverson posted the picture to his Instagram on Thursday with the caption “3 MVPs”. Iverson won his MVP with the Sixers in 2001 while Erving won the award four times during his career. Embiid is a top candidate for the award this season. It sounds like Iverson believes the big fella should win the award.

Embiid is having a phenomenal season; the big man is averaging a league-leading 29.7 points and 11.2 rebounds. If he can continue to lead the league in scoring, he would be the first big man to do so since Shaquille O’Neal in 2000.
