Allen Iverson is known to be one of the most prolific basketball players to emerge from the '90s and 2000s, but his success as a player did not come without scrutiny and controversy. Prior to being drafted in 1996, Iverson was convicted for taking part in a brawl in his hometown of Hampton, Virginia. This conviction had implications not only on Iverson's career and reputation, but also on the community that he came from.
