NBA and 76ers legend Allen Iverson pens heartfelt letter “Dear Kobe” on The players tribune on Mamba Day.
My kids used to be hitting me talking about how they want the Kobe Adidases when they came out!!!! They were rocking number 8 and number 24, because you were one of their heroes.

–Allen Iverson
