- Some say that Allen Iverson was a better football player in high school. If it wasn't for his time in prison, would AI have been a hall of fame football player?

How good would AI have been in the NFL?
Difficult to say honestly. Talent wise I think he could hack it though.
I dont think he woulda played qb I think he woulda been a DB or wr/return specialist. He woulda had to gain like 40 lbs to play qb.
@Jack Tripper mental is key its why a guy like Jameis Winston isn't a top 5 qb the guy has talent but he's not in the the game mentality
Vick is Vick. Iverson is Iverson. To say Iverson was the first Vick is lazy and disrespectful to both of them. Just make an Iverson football highlight video next time, and leave Vick out of it because neither one of them was the first quarterback who could run well.
If he went to ND he would’ve been a better version Tony Rice, better statistics and accolades (would probably win the Heisman). However, I think the NFL wouldn’t have shown him love.
It's weird, because when I was a kid it felt like A.I. and Mike Vick were almost the same person just playing two different sports, and then it really blew my mind finding out years later that A.I. played football too and that they were from the same exact place, it convinced me that these two men were reincarnations of each other.

@@jacksherwood772 Thanks my nigga
Except Vick is a horrible person and Iverson got racially profiled
Lol...it was 2 totally totall different times here locally for sports! Vick was overshadowed by Ronald Curry who outshined Vick over and over
They were but iverson moved and played for rival school. Aaron Brooks was vick before vick. Coincidentally that's Vicks big cousin
@ the 2:22 mark that's former NFL QB Aaron Brooks next to AI.. The Tidewater Area of VA at that time was LOADED with sports talent!!
Aaron brooks is a NBA player tho
Must be something in the water they drink.
It still is load
@@darrylnelson05 Yep, Something in the tide"water" mayne!!😁😁😁
Aaron Brooks played QB for I believe Saints & Cowboys .
Can’t believe how many ppl still don’t know about his football game. This segment doesn’t tell the full story of how cold he was. That area in VA is a hotbed of monster athletes. AI, Vick, Aaron Brooks, Alonzo Mourning, Bruce Smith, the Upton brothers, Lawrence Taylor, Cam Chancellor, etc. 🔥🔥athletes fasho.
We got more coming
Lol cause bitd that area nothing else to do but play sports. Kids used to be outside all day becoming gifted athletes!

Ronald Curry as well!
I’m from New Jersey but I love Virginia, so much heart comes out of there.
This is a fascinating topic. Like what was said in this video Iverson's athleticism was unworldly. Point being how does a 6ft 160lb guy become one of the most dominant scorers and players in NBA history. If he went the path of baseball or track, he probably could've been a great pro at those sports if he had a passion for it.
But I've seen other reports that he was enamored with Notre Dame and FSU arguably the 2 top programs in that era to play QB and feature him in a way to be a Heisman winner a la Charlie Ward. I am not sure if he would've been Vick before Vick because Vick's arm strength and bulk made him a better fit as a QB but maybe like Antoine Randle El who was a great college QB and similar build he could've learned WR on the fly in the NFL and been a swiss army knife type of weapon and a natural and devastating returner as well. And with respect to Randle El, Iverson's athleticism is next level and he probably takes that role and becomes a HOFer. I think the Deion comparison is valid as well, and if he moved to CB in college a hall of fame career was probably inevitable. Hes probably a 4.3 40 guy with a 40 inch vert, long arms, toughness and competitiveness to match the athleticism. Iverson was a true gift to sports fans.
Send a junior in hs to prison for 15 years?????? Over a fight at a bowling alley????????? BS!
Racist Commonwealth Judge and Prosecutors
He was influential around the world 🙌✌️ we wore his wrist bands his shoes his whole style even in Germany 😂
Thanks for this amazing video!!!
that's awesome!
A.I. could have been a world class middle distance runner: 800m, 1500m, 5000m. Look closely. He always played at 100% and never seemed tired. That is otherworldly natural endurance, not just hops.
05:25 AI doing crossovers with a FOOTBALL. That just says it all!
I think that's wild they had him playing QB and DB! Usually if u have a star QB you wanna protect him as much as u can, so also playing him as a DB just increases his chance of injury
Chuck was not having that. Being the best at every position, he did what he wanted. He was Bethels best kicker and best punter, best tackler, best arm, fastest, quickest. He was simply unstoppable!!! Darling stadium was lit for the short time he played!!!!
it was a lot more common to play both ways back then!
Ronald Curry was sick too
State player of the year in football.
Smashed the state points scored record in basketball.
Both at 15 years old! AI was destined for greatness.
He ran 4.3 for the Eagles at the time with Bobby Taylor and Todd Light as their CB
The jury and court were racist how they convict him when there footage of him removing himself from the brawl .always trying to keep them down
Holy shit he had a cannon for an arm!!!
That throw @ 1:25..DAMN!
I was 5”6 140 like Ai in 8th grade, I’m 15 in 10th grade right now at 5”10 160 playing quarterback on jv lookin to get moved up mid season or for playoffs, I really look up to Ai so I chose my jersey # to be #10 like him, I’ve always been like him small and lanky but quick and fast as heck
You on varsity yet, young blood?
He would’ve been a hof in football also. I watched this kid play both sports in high school
2:30 Aaron Brooks beside A.I.
Bubba chuck, Aaron Brooks, Ronald Curry, Michael Vick, Tyrod Taylor, Boyd from Clemson all QB'S from the same conference.

Newport new,hampton area hotbed of talent
@@CoachChef how bout norfolk
Vick played in the Big East not ACC
@@markreneau1399 in high school smh...
Mann crazy hampton road had everybody. . Michael vick, ronald curry, allen iverson.. . Proud of our hanpton heros... .
AI is the damn GOAT.
He's straight 6 ft? I mean that's not even that short outside basketball, Mike Vick was 6 ft, Drew Brees 6 ft. Iverson would have just needed to put on the muscle. He would have needed to be at least 200 lbs to play in the NFL, and he was like 170?
Almost went to the Irish if he decided to play football
Vick, Iverson and Curry … Hampton Roads can produce beasts.
Steph???
He made more money in Baskestball than he would have had he gone the football route.
It was his love for the game of football that’s why he wanted to play
And that was his first sport he played
It’s hard to say how he woulda been in the NFL. The dude never played a down of college ball, all we see from him is High School highlights. High school football to the NFL isn’t even comparable.
A.I is the REAL REASON WHY the NBA is what IT is today❗ HE was the FIRST with tattoo the FIRST with braids the FIRST to wear long gold chains, I remember the NBA getting so upset because HE wouldn't wear suits, Iverson taught MANY FOLKS it's ok to be YOUR TRUE self❗ it's ok to make mistakes and learn from them and come back stronger❗ to THIS day there's NOT ONE that comes close to HOW Iverson transcended the game❗
I think he transcended the game greater in the "small ball" aspect.
The NBA game has changed because the guard is now the focal point and not the big man.
That has been a direct result of Chuck(Iverson).
I'll be getting his sneakers,deions and Patrick Ewings.
At least he saved he brain no more CTE then whatever was received thru his youth. Plus one injury in college or NFL there goes the meal ticket and could literally lose his career off a hugs line or linebacker or safety. He also made so much more money playing basketball then football he would've never have his own shoe and make huge money off that. Even though he to file bankruptcy n week a good sponsor agent or friend knew his spending Habits from a kid the ghetto That had nothing to now can buy everything. Put 50 to 100 million to the side for That he can't touch til his 50 that way his more mature and wiser. So that lock up a young kid w no bail and miss his final seasons was bullshit but it was also god sent as well. His mother and Georgetown head coach was there for him he knew how special he was and everybody deserves more then one chance we're all human and make mistakes.
Very nice vid. Great stuff!
Is it just me or did Ai used to be darker
Where you get the facts lol I'm from the 757 and went to Bethel that's dope how you found this
757 Va
Its about the color man. Just think about it, Football is one of the most popular sport in america. Back then theres not alot of black quarterbacks. That incident was bull. AI had nothing to do with that brawl. Having AI represent NFL had he gone that route and became an icon wouldve been devastating to the supremacy. So they won and dropped him to the NBA. What a fucked up world we live in.
Fantastic video.
Them was the good years living down in Hampton
This is one of the reason that explains his footwork
Also he couldve been in the NBA and in the NFL if he wanted to and that would be a world record
Basketball and baseball or football and baseball...impossible to play both basketball and football because both sports are too physically demanding at their highest levels.
@@mobetta2092 I play both so thats not an excuse. I play on a high tier football team on and used to play D2 basketball
@@bigball3947 no offense to you or your skills, but that's no NFL or NBA level competition or grinding.
@@mobetta2092 i meant ge could go to the NFL retire in like 4 years, then go to the NBA 🤷♀️
@@bigball3947 so A.I. becomes an NFL or NBA player 1st and commit to all that's required to perform in that sport at the highest level, which means he'd have to take a 4 yr break from the NFL/NBA while competition is still grinding and getting better and younger, then he retires and go the 2nd sport and miraculously catches up with all the intense training and repetition he's missed? Is that your final answer?
@9:40 lmaooooo
My cousin was living in Langley and he got to watch ai play and I remember him telling me how great he was .
mandybelle p wow.
So he prolly watched mike Vick play too
Chuck(Iverson) & To y Rutland played on base (Langley) quite often in those days in high school.
@@qwammienewsome1357 Tony was so nice!!!! Greatest HS backcourt ever!!!!
@@nyjetfb5631 yeah, Chuck & Tony would just run cats off the court at Langley til they got tired!!
Awesome video
STAHP Randell Cunningham was the first Vick
and prolly a few more I forgot
I'm still stuck on charging him as an adult and making him sit out his senior year. Wtf
Facts
Is called White Justice
@Melvin Melvin that's not fair considering noone really knows what happened. I like to look at if more as he defied many odds and obstacles. You can take the negative out of his life or the positive. So sick of hearing racism, when most of the time the TV is the only thing repeating it over and over .
@@mandybellep230 it was confirmed he left the building right after the fight broke out tho
AI's high school coach was Mike Vick's coach...
That really hurt me!!
I thought the bowling alley thing happened before he went to college
A.I. is in my top 5 nba players.
Mike Vick did not play defense!!!!
He should have Bo Jacksoned it!!!
How the fuck is this a what if
AI definitely got cheated out of a football career but I think he did ok in basketball. Too bad he played in the Shaq Kobe era.
Noti gang
No white racist gang mob judicial system
Too small vick was just big enough to take nfl hits end he weighs at least 40 lbs more
He could. Have played football but probably not that long
He would have been a hof for sure watching him that’s all i thought was deon sanders he would have been just like him
Noti squad👍🏾
Facts. You don’t even need to watch he video, aside from a legend in the NBA he’s a legendary athlete. Vick has world class speed but he doesn’t stack up.
Are you saying Vick speed doesn’t stack up? Cause you tripping
The crazy whatif is....what if A.I. and Randy Moss played football (and basketball) for Notre Dame at the SAME TIME?!!! Yeah that was supposed to happen!!
Baseball he would've been Ricky Henderson 2.0
i didnt know he was a football player thought he only played hoops
That's crazy asf, how you gon put a high school student regardless of what class he or she is in, in prison or jail..and then for a "fight" ...man gtfoh SMH
Florida has ton of great player then any other state. High school. College & Nfl..
You would have been an option quarterback at Nebraska like Tommie Frazier.
Nah he from 7t7 just like vick
Why are athletes loved more than Jesus by many.......lets read Jesus Christ teachings daily...sometimes all day..hell is hot please believe...dont be fooled
Ai wouldve been great in football too
I say we would have been an exceptional punt returner. If he he was getting crushed in the NBA, imagine the NFL..... No way he wouldve been on offense. Still AI the greatest little man in basketball history.
Shit wrong AI from off 16th in Newport News he live out Hampton later on
16th & Roanoke myself!!
Chuck lived behind me.

Could been 2way player like Deion
(E had a good mother.
HOF FASHOO 💪🏾 IM UP NEXT
Am wichu
Terrell Page good luck, brotha
9:42
Clearly he was been watched, and was targeted. To ruin hes reputation and the cammunities positive support and pride. Not mentioning the example he is to other young one's to. Be aware that jealous people will go to extreme majors to disgrace AI his mother, family and community. This was an opportunistic act, to break the cammunities will.
I know imma sound like a buzzkill but mike Vick was a 2000s versions on Randall Cunningham
Its cool to think abt but if we are being honest the likelihood he succeeds would of been low. He def wouldnt of been able to play qb, hes too small and doesnt have the arm talent and honestly knowing AI wouldnt be able to run an offense. He could of switched to receiver, but even then he would of been small.
WELL HOW TALL DOES A RECEIVER HAVE TO BE TO YOU,6’9”? I COULD SEE HIM BEING THE OFFENSIVE VERSION TO DEION SANDERS ONLY IF HIS COACH WOULD HAVE ALLOWED HIM TO RETURN KICKS ALSO.
Height isnt the problem, its weight. Allen iverson weighed 160 pounds at 6’0 tall. For comparison, trindon holliday is the smallest receiver in nfl history at 5’5, and he weighed more than iverson at 168 while being 7 inches shorter. Iverson would of gotten killed you need to be built different for pro football. Plus, he was obv fast, but he didnt have world renown track speed or anything
JT b,UNDER A COLLEGE WEIGHT AND DIETARY PROGRAM,A FOOTBALL VERSION OF IVERSON WOULD EASILY BE BEEFED UP TO LET’S SAY 200 LBS. EVEN IF IT MEANT REDSHIRTING HIS FRESHMAN YEAR. 180-185 LBS. FOR STARTERS AFTER ONE SUMMER.
Why r u using all caps. And if he was heavier he would of likely lost all the things that made him special- his speed and agility. Football players are built different, they have to maintain their muscle while keeping high speed. You cant just assume iverson would of done that. Also, his pass catching skills were by no means proven and there is little to no chance he plays QB.
JT b,WELCOME TO HIGH DEFINITION TEXTING WHERE EXCLAMATION POINTS ILLUSTRATE ANGER AND EXCITEMENT. HIS PHYSIQUE IS AN EASY FIX. BARRING EXTENSIVE POLISHING,I SEE A UTILITY PLAYER WHO COULD BE A DEVASTATING OPTION QUARTERBACK IN COLLEGE,BUT NOT A DROP BACK PASSER. HIS PHYSIQUE IS AN EASY FIX.
Ask Bo Jackson he knows. 😂😂😂
What???
@@user-ej2xz3lx2e bo knows
But No don't know jack, cuz Bo can't rap!!!😁😁
first-ever person to play in the nfl and nba at the same time?
Wont be able to happen
Eat your cereal
I love Ivo, but he was too small for the nfl and my dude didn't lift weights lol he would've been a return man and that's it, glad he went to the NBA
He should’ve did a Bo Jackson
Amazing athlete but nowhere near as fast as Deion
Basketball soft but baseball isn’t????
No bap
Its was the 90's every kid even the black kids loved Baseball we all wanted to be Griffey Jr,Rickey Henderson,Barry Larkin or even Deion
He wouldn't have done well because he has a problem with practice. Football does 3 per day.
I read some comments. I can already tell your fanbase thinks like you. Well. Yall all play make believe then have fun
What
Vick was better
