In a recent basketball game, Golden State Warriors' star player Stephen Curry showed his respect and admiration for NBA Hall of Famer Allen Iverson. The game was against Iverson's former team, the Philadelphia 76ers.
According to Sports Illustrated, Curry sported a special jacket before the game, paying tribute to the iconic Iverson, also known as A.I. This was before the term "artificial intelligence" became popular in our lexicon. The jacket was a stylish blue varsity jacket with white sleeves, featuring a large red letter "A" to represent Iverson's nickname, "The Answer," and his jersey number, 3, on the sleeve.

Despite the Warriors losing the game 126-119, Curry had an outstanding performance, scoring 29 points, grabbing five rebounds, dishing out 13 assists, and getting one steal. After the game, he expressed his admiration for Iverson to reporters. It was also revealed that Curry and NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal are producing a documentary about Iverson for Prime Video.
"He's always been someone who has shown me so much love and gone out of his way to praise and admire me, just like I have for watching him play," Curry shared with the press. "I had the opportunity to play with him a few times before he retired, which is surreal to think about. Although I didn't get to see him tonight, being here in Philly, where he had such an iconic career, I wanted to show him some love back."

In addition to Curry's heartfelt tribute, the game also had a surprising moment. Known for his exceptional long-range shooting, Curry rarely dunks in games. However, on March 1, he surprised everyone by dunking during the game's final moments. This was his first dunk in six years, and he hinted that it may be his last one while playing professionally, as reported by CNN.
"That will probably be my last dunk," Curry said after the game. "I'm calling it right now. That was the last one you're going to see."
