Kobe Bryant paid tribute to Allen Iverson on Friday in a moving Instagram post, the same night that the Philadelphia 76ers retired the 11-time All-Star's number and raised his jersey to the rafters at the Wells Fargo Center.
"Time has wings my brotha. Your game pushed my then 21 year old self to play beyond my years. Your impact on the game will be felt for generations. #salute #respect #96 #AI," Bryant wrote.
Bryant, who was born in Philadelphia and went to high school just outside the city, won his second NBA title when he and the Los Angeles Lakers faced off against Iverson's 76ers in the 2001 Finals. Bryant was one of many NBA players who showed respect for Iverson on social media.
