LOOK: Old Picture of Allen Iverson Donning Dallas Cowboys Jersey With Jerry Jones Goes Viral on Social Media
Nearly nothing Allen Iverson could say or do would surprise Philadelphians about his significance to this community, not just as a top-tier basketball player but also as a cultural forerunner who forged their ethos of grit and perseverance. Allen Iverson, a legendary player in the NBA, is revered in Philadelphia for his legendary tenure with the 76ers. The Dallas Cowboys will have a significant supporter in their corner as they get ready for their week 6 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday: retired Philadelphia 76ers star and Hall of Famer Allen Iverson.
That is what makes a particular photograph of Iverson and Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, so remarkable.

You may already be aware that the Eagles, a fierce adversary of the Cowboys, call Philadelphia home. Since he was a little lad, Iverson has been a devoted Dallas Cowboys supporter. He has also admitted in the past that he prefers watching basketball to football. The news that AI won’t be rooting for the Eagles in tonight’s game versus the Cowboys may dismay Eagles supporters.
But they’ll manage to get by. A.I.’s lifelong devotion to the Dallas Cowboys, a condition that affects significant portions of the American population who live nowhere near Texas, appears to have persisted despite all those years in Philadelphia. With a victory over the Cowboys today, the Eagles, who are 5-0 this year, might get past 6-0 for the first time in a long time.
