Allen Iverson revolutionized the game in a unique way.

While Allen Iverson is more remembered as legendary 76er, he was still a key part of the Denver Nuggets’ history.

He and Carmelo Anthony formed one of the most electric scoring duos in NBA history. Iverson is a special figure for the NBA and it’s fans. What many people don’t realize is that many Denver fans actually hold a special place in their heart for the small guard who had the heart of a lion.

And of course, how can anyone forget the man’s iconic crossover that was the nightmare of many defenders. With his birthday taking place this week, it is only right to look back at some of the nice numbers he put up during his Nuggets tenure. In his three seasons with Denver, Iverson had a 45.6% field goal percentage to go along with a 25.6 points per game average.

There was even one year where he had an offensive win share of 8.9 for the Nuggets. He also had a true shooting percentage of 55.9% in his Denver tenure which was higher than his 51.3% true shooting percentage in his Philadelphia stint.

Iverson was a key figure in the NBA for many years and he also left his imprint on the Mile High city.
