WHAT WE’RE WATCHING
A fireside chat with Kyle Harrison pays tribute to Allen Iverson as the origins for his split dodge.
Over the years my split dodge turned into a combination of all of my favorite players to watch: Jalbert, Haugen, Boland, Colsey, PR, Schreiber, Seibald, Prout & more! But in the beginning, it was straight from @alleniverson in 5th grade. Big wide step & shake. AI was Too clean. pic.twitter.com/R4RCvjN3Wq
