Dwyane Wade sings praises of Sixers legend Allen Iverson during Hall of Fame speech

The Basketball Hall of Fame class of 2023 was inducted Saturday night, with Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade etching his name into the NBA history books with the help of Philadelphia 76ers legend Allen Iverson.

Wade selected A.I. to present him into the Hall before Saturday’s ceremony. Iverson, a Hall of Famer himself, changed the game in a number of ways culturally and on the court, and Wade wanted the opportunity to give him his credit.

“It was important to me that I touched the culture when I did this,” Wade told AndScape in July.
