Allen Iverson: Late to the Hall of Fame, But Always On Time

Allen Iverson was late to his own Hall of Fame enshrinement press conference, but he still managed to be the center of attention.

15 minutes into the 2016 Naismith Hall of Fame Enshrinement press conference, the chair reserved for one "Mr. Iverson" remained unoccupied.

The vast majority of those who made the trek to Springfield, MA on Thursday - fans and media members alike - were there to see Allen Ezail Iverson. This is an undeniable truth, despite the fact that the Class of 2016 included legendary figures such as Michigan St. head coach Tom Izzo, four-time WNBA MVP Sheryl Swoopes, and two of the greatest big men to ever step foot in the NBA: Shaquille O'Neal and Yao Ming.
