It looks like the photo brought back all the memories for Iverson. It's as if the Sixers icon hesitated to sign the poster out of respect for Kobe. AI did end up putting his autograph on the awesome picture while also saying that he intends to get a copy of the same. I can definitely see Iverson putting up this poster in his home somewhere.

It's been two years since we lost a true legend in Kobe Bryant. However, it is clear that his memory still lives on in the many people whose lives he was able to touch while he was still alive. What continues to flourish right now is Bryant's legacy and it's just so touching to see it very well represented by a fellow NBA icon and Hall of Famer in Allen Iverson.
