He was really tough, played most of his career through injuries and had amazing performances, especialy in the playoffs, 'played every game like it was his last', he is a true basketball hero, i'm a 76ers fan because of him.

AI had a cultural influence like few others in all of sports, he is a real icon of my generation, it's a shame to see him reach such a low point at the end of his career... I wish he could return to the NBA

Darryl Dawkins

The father of Power-Dunking, the most entretaining player of all-time, set a new concept for dunks, trash talk, intimidation and strenght. The NBA had to build stronger backboards because of him... enough said.
