Allen Iverson is one of the best players in NBA history. He's universally recognized as the top “pound for pound” basketball player of all time.

However, Iverson can't put himself in his top five players of all time. Instead, The Answer is going with Stephen Curry, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal:

That's a pretty good lineup right there. Curry is the greatest shooter in NBA history, while Jordan and Bryant are two of the best scorers ever. LeBron can do everything on a basketball floor, while Shaq is the most dominant player to ever lace them up.

This lineup would go 82-0 during the regular season. It doesn't even matter what the bench looks like.

During his Hall of Fame career, Iverson averaged 26.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 6.2 assists in 914 games. The MVP and 11-time All-Star went up against Kobe and Shaq in the 2001 Finals, a series the Los Angeles Lakers won in five games.

However, we all remember where we were for Game 1 of that series when Iverson put up 48 points and stepped over Tyronn Lue after crossing him over and hitting a tough shot right in front of the Lakers' bench. That's one of the most iconic images in NBA history.
