That’s what Iverson did, especially in big moments. Being small is always going to come with some disadvantages, but those can all be mitigated if someone always makes the right play at the right time. In that way, while he did stand 6’0, he played much, much taller than that.īeyond that, Iverson also knew the game inside and out. That gave him the ability to dunk quite easily, and he could also get out to block or contest shots. Taking all of those dimensions into account, Iverson could jump up and reach past ten feet. Where some players have long arms but can’t jump, he had a combination of the two.
Allen iverson wingspan full#
That combination of length and spring made him extremely valuable on the court because it allowed him to take full advantage of his wingspan in a way that pushed past his height. Both of those put him in the top 0.01 percent of all players. His vertical measured right around 40 inches, with his vertical leap (with a running start) clocking in at 41 inches. Not only that, but Iverson could jump too. That’s not incredibly impressive when compared to some other NBA athletes, but it’s enough length to give a skilled player an advantage when going for steals, blocks, rebounds, or contests. Iverson’s reach is four inches longer than his height.
Long arms are amazing assets on both sides of the ball, and he took full advantage. His arms measured a full 6’3 across, which gave him a lot of length in different facets of the game. Iverson’s height may have held him back, but he more than made up for it with his wingspan.
