The “Allen Iverson/Rbk Scholarship” will be awarded to a student who, like Iverson, is not afraid to be true to themselves and follows their own unique path to greatness. Allen Iverson, Reebok and BELL (Building Educated Leaders for Life) will work together to select the recipient each year. BELL's mission is to increase the academic achievements, self-esteem and life opportunities of children living in urban communities. The 2005-06 season marks the 10th season for Allen Iverson, making him one of the NBA’s longest tenured active players to play for one team. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, there are only three other active NBA players in his company – Minnesota’s Kevin Garnett is entering his 11th season, while Kobe Bryant and Zydrunas Ilgauskas are entering their tenth seasons. Locally, Iverson and Philadelphia Eagle Brian Dawkins (10 years) rank behind the Phillies’ Mike Lieberthal for longest tenured Philadelphia athlete to play for one team. On October 17th, celebrities and VIPs will be in attendance at the official Answer IX launch event at New York City hot spot – The Canal Room. As the start of the 2005-06 NBA season nears, Iverson looks to continue to add to a legacy that has seen him be named NBA Rookie of the Year, NBA Most Valuable Player, NBA scoring champion, USA Basketball Olympian, and two-time NBA All-Star Most Valuable Player. "Reebok believed in me from day one," said Iverson. "They took a chance on me when a lot of people were questioning whether or not I would make an impact on the game. Ten years later, with an NBA MVP award and leading the league in scoring four times, it looks like Reebok made the right decision."</div> <div align="center"> Source</div>
oh man, those are arguably the nicest basketball shoe I've ever seen. I'm definately going to get myself a pair of those. Any word on when those bad boys come out?
Woah those must be rbk's best designed shoes ever. I think all the colourways are hot and I definitely like words "RBK" across the ankle strap. I'll get a pair if they're priced nicely.
These have to be the best in years. I like the whole design and the white and black colors look awesome. I wonder how much retail price will be...
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting RuN WiT iT:</div><div class="quote_post">what about the court performance? what kind of grip does it got</div> It has an automatic rbk pump on the side that after you start walking pumps up in the mold of your foot. It is comfortable, and at the same time helps your on the court performance.
