“You gotta say the Mike joint because it was Mike, the greatest player to ever play the game,” Iverson said on SportsCenter. 

Iverson, 41, told the story of when he went to a Charlotte Hornets game and told Jordan how much he idolized him.

“He [Jordan] was like I couldn’t have been too much of a hero to you, if you crossed me like that,” Iverson recalled.
