Michael Jordan the greatest player to ever play the game of basketball played his last NBA game 5 years ago today on April 16, 2003 vs. Allen Iverson and the Philadelphia 76ers. The culture of basketball and hip-hop got its headline title name from the basketball shoe worn by Allen Iverson for the historical last game. Iverson wore the ATR Dunkadelic. Dunkadelic is the basketball/hip-hop cultural term created in 1997 to define the marriage of both cultures. Iverson and Jordan are the 2 Most Influential players over the 25 years of the era. It was symbolic that Iverson would face Jordan for the last game of his career.
