Allen Iverson Gets Emotional While Signing Rare Photograph Of Him And Kobe Bryant
"Damn, whose is this?! This yours?! Man, you going to give me one? You got another one for me? Man, I need one of these!"
Allen Iverson was visibly emotional when a young fan handed him a poster to sign at a celebrity convention.
This wasn't just any old photograph though, this was a rare image of Iverson playing against the late great Kobe Bryant from a few years back.
It shows AI wearing his iconic all-black Philadelphia 76ers jersey alongside a fresh-faced Kobe whose decorated NBA career was only just beginning.
Upon seeing the picture, Iverson looked shocked.
Trying to take it all in, he paused for a second and let out a sigh before eventually signing it.
"Damn, whose is this?!" Iverson said. "This yours?!
"Man, you going to give me one? You got another one for me? Man, I need one of these!"
Clearly in awe of the image itself, Iverson then wanted to write a personal message on it, as opposed to just leaving his signature.
"Can I put something up here?" Iverson asked the owner.
It's hard to work out exactly what he wrote, but it looks like it says "HIM vs ME!!!"
Iverson then had a heart-to-heart with the fan who asked him to sign the photograph, urging the young lad to listen to his father.
"I love you," he said before wrapping up the heartwarming exchange.
