Former NBA player Tim Thomas opened up about his time with Allen Iverson during their stint with the Philadelphia 76ers. Despite being undersized, Iverson’s relentless heart and competitive spirit set him apart. “He was the biggest heart, man—on and off the court,” Thomas said. Iverson’s toughness was evident as he pushed through injuries, showing a "different type of animal" mentality similar to legends Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.
Thomas recalled that Iverson’s drive made him a formidable force, constantly bouncing back even when physically beaten down. The two built a close bond, often seen together both on and off the court. Reflecting on his time in Philly, Thomas appreciated playing alongside stars like Iverson and Jerry Stackhouse.
Comparing Iverson to MJ and Kobe, Thomas highlighted that all three shared unmatched competitiveness and will to win, explaining why Iverson remains one of the game’s greatest despite his smaller stature.
