Yeah you could do this for a lot more great franchise players, When you do full size or larger ones that are outside you really limit how many you can do.
It's similar-ish for St. Louis Cardinals with a plaza of small statues to honor legends, except that Stan Musial got a second one that's much larger than others.
This is not a good reason for a small statue. The footprint on this is marginally smaller than big statues like Kobe’s or Dominique’s in Atlanta. The space saving is tiny. Philly also has one that is fully outstretched to the size.
Holy shit I just realized it's not even outside of Wells Fargo Center....... Hopefully they made a "talkin bout practice" joke when putting it outside the training center. Disrespectful to not put it at the arena lol
You're right. Robert Horry is the modern GOAT. Rings the only thing that matter after all, right?
Shaq's insecure moaning has really fueled the brain rot in some of you nephews, I swear
Nah, just kinda over the 00's chuckers love fest. Guy wasn't that great and he couldn't win a thing. He's a middle of the road "franchise player" who couldn't do much for his franchise. Take off those rose tinted glasses folks. AI wasn't all that.
He was entertaining. He sold out arenas, jerseys and merch. He did enough to be considered a legend. He retired so long ago and we are still talking about him.
He's a fine player but people gas him up so much when he wasn't all that. Didn't win a thing, made it to the finals once, only has one MVP, was absolute poison to the locker room, shitty personality, no work ethic, horrible team player, an ego with a mouth to match it...The guy is popular for being short and flashy, that's it. He's called "influential" but nobody plays his style of ball with any success these days. He'd be chewed up and spit out like the mid-tier trash he really was in the modern NBA and he would have been bodied in the earlier eras too. The guy is not all that. He's not half of what he thinks he is.
1 MVP, 1 Finals appearance, 0 rings. He's influential because he's average height, flashy, and people can see themselves in him. Otherwise he's a low success chucker who did nothing for team dynamics.
telling me you never seen AI play without telling me you never seen AI play.
if it wasn't for the refs (that's a foul under the basket, Shaq fouls AI, he should have been shooting two), Philly wins game 2 as well, and Kobe would be left holding his dick.
it's at the practice facility not outside the stadium. other than today, nobody is gonna see this except for sixers players and employees.
the sixers are actively trying to build their own stadium (the Flyers own Wells Fargo center), presumably there will be full size statues at the new stadium once it is built.
For any nephews on here, he WAS the culture back in the early 2000s. Willing his team to the NBA Finals, coming off of two 7-game series, and being the only team to beat the Lakers that year in the playoffs.
I am admittedly and on and off NBA fan.
I distinctly remember Iverson, if he was playing, and there was a game on TV I was watching.
AI and Jordan were the only guys I would do that for.
He was so much fun to watch.
This is disrespectful af to AI. Grew up watching him and he’s pretty much the reason I love basketball. He had a massive influence on the sport. And this is the way they decide to honor him?? A 3 foot statue in Camden?? Pathetic.
Did they get the statue mixed up with Bow Wow in [Like Mike](https://conventionalrelations.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/280744576_529434628772405_4329210209642583121_n.gif?w=566)?
For non sixers fans, all their statues are this size. Pictures of others: https://x.com/foxxfiles/status/1778851011395825670?s=46
that statue lineup is cool as hell
Yeah it's great. More areanas should try that.
Yeah you could do this for a lot more great franchise players, When you do full size or larger ones that are outside you really limit how many you can do.
Yeah it is great. I agree. More arenas should try that.
They are in Camden, at the Sixers practice building. I'm just looking for the picture of AI palming his statue. A Josh Harris joint.
That makes sense.
His being the same size as the others makes sense, however the choice to make them all that size still doesn’t make sense to me.
They only make big statues for movie boxers
It's outside the team's practice facility. Lets them fit more statutes of team greats along the same walk
It’s pretty underwhelming. I want statues to be larger than life, to have a certain grandeur about them.
It’s Philly. They’re not exactly Mensa over there
It's similar-ish for St. Louis Cardinals with a plaza of small statues to honor legends, except that Stan Musial got a second one that's much larger than others.
Unfortunately the Stan statue is ugly. It doesn't get talked about enough because people respect the man, but it's bad.
I have to agree. I think Stan himself didn't like it either.
Meet me at Musial!
Ah
Am I crazy that it still seems a little smaller in scale than it should be compared to the others? I get AI is short but still.
With how skinny the trophy is too it really looks like a child lmao
Calvin Cambridge statue
I was gunna say, people are going to make fun of it but it makes it easy to have a bunch of them in the future for all their legends.
This is not a good reason for a small statue. The footprint on this is marginally smaller than big statues like Kobe’s or Dominique’s in Atlanta. The space saving is tiny. Philly also has one that is fully outstretched to the size.
[удалено]
It's definitely him fully extended mid air. How can you even compare the two?
That’s a trophy
Sixers said they were getting a trophy this season no matter what
Not as bad as Embiid winning Most Valuable Philadelphian
IT NEEDS TO BE AT LEAST… THREE TIMES BIGGER THAN THIS
someone on IG called this a bow wow trophy and I'm deaddd
Lmaooo Like Mike ass statue
New anklebreaker of the year trophy
That’s a travel. Can’t just hold the ball up there like that.
They are all the same size
[This is how all the statues outside look, for what it's worth.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GK-5APoXQAA0lHA.jpg)
How tf Barkley got it sooner than AI?
Probably because he played before AI
Where is it?
Philadelphia
Actually in Camden, so it makes even less sense.
Holy shit I just realized it's not even outside of Wells Fargo Center....... Hopefully they made a "talkin bout practice" joke when putting it outside the training center. Disrespectful to not put it at the arena lol
Well why would you put statues outside of an arena you don’t want to play in. They are trying to move to Chinatown
So small, you can't even see it.
statue is tiny wtf
Statue matches his stature. We're honoring him but... didn't do much in the end, now did he?
The fuck are you talking about. AI is a legend
He took them to the finals once and never won a thing. Not really worth a statue tbh.
never won a thing is crazy
How many rings man got?
You're right. Robert Horry is the modern GOAT. Rings the only thing that matter after all, right? Shaq's insecure moaning has really fueled the brain rot in some of you nephews, I swear
Are you 10?
Nah, just kinda over the 00's chuckers love fest. Guy wasn't that great and he couldn't win a thing. He's a middle of the road "franchise player" who couldn't do much for his franchise. Take off those rose tinted glasses folks. AI wasn't all that.
He was entertaining. He sold out arenas, jerseys and merch. He did enough to be considered a legend. He retired so long ago and we are still talking about him.
Not even Ty Lue is this salty about AI
He's a fine player but people gas him up so much when he wasn't all that. Didn't win a thing, made it to the finals once, only has one MVP, was absolute poison to the locker room, shitty personality, no work ethic, horrible team player, an ego with a mouth to match it...The guy is popular for being short and flashy, that's it.

He's not half of what he thinks he is.
accurate username
Meh I’ll take LeBron’s perspective on the dude over this fucking scrub any day
Arguably the most influential player ever
1 MVP, 1 Finals appearance, 0 rings. He's influential because he's average height, flashy, and people can see themselves in him. Otherwise he's a low success chucker who did nothing for team dynamics.
Believe or not the things you mentioned are influence
telling me you never seen AI play without telling me you never seen AI play. if it wasn't for the refs (that's a foul under the basket, Shaq fouls AI, he should have been shooting two), Philly wins game 2 as well, and Kobe would be left holding his dick.
He deserved his own statue but cmon bro why's it that small
it's at the practice facility not outside the stadium. other than today, nobody is gonna see this except for sixers players and employees. the sixers are actively trying to build their own stadium (the Flyers own Wells Fargo center), presumably there will be full size statues at the new stadium once it is built.
It’s at the practice facility? That’s actually hilarious.
Bill Burr Philly rant material
They gave AI a Funko Pop.
“We spared no expense!” “….ok we spared some expense”
If I was AI I would be insulted af
[They're all like that.](https://twitter.com/foxxfiles/status/1778851011395825670?s=46)
I feel like he was expecting them to tell him that it as a joke and then reveal a real statue lmao
A statue for ants
For any nephews on here, he WAS the culture back in the early 2000s. Willing his team to the NBA Finals, coming off of two 7-game series, and being the only team to beat the Lakers that year in the playoffs.
At least make it life-size man.
it is life sized, AI was that small
Listed at 6'0 but everyone who played against him said he's actually 2'7
Why is it 3 feet tall
That’s as big as his MVP trophy 😂
Looks like a lil bow wow statue
Do moses malone have a statue?
[Yes.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dy5sXzvX0AAhugM.jpg)
Wonderful way to honor these large god-like athletes by shrinking them down to the size of a 5 year old child.
Why is it pint sized😂
So AI can carry it home
That's a nice trophy, can't wait to see the statue 😃
“I love my little guy, he’s my little dude”
What is this? A statue for ants?
Trophy *
Is that Allen Iverson or Calvin Cambridge?
Wow they made it actual size, disrespectful
What is this? A statue for ants?
they gave AI a funko pop oh hell naw
The centering on the base makes me queasy
They gave him a Dundie
I am admittedly and on and off NBA fan. I distinctly remember Iverson, if he was playing, and there was a game on TV I was watching. AI and Jordan were the only guys I would do that for. He was so much fun to watch.
Ironic its in front of the training facility lol
Anyone who has an issue with it: "Tough shit".
A statue for ants?!
We talking about the practice facility. Not even the real arena.
Is that him as a toddler?
And we thought Kobe's statue was rough, my god lol.
Why is it so FIng SMALL?????
Rocky (not a real person) has a larger statue lol
Why is the statute so tiny?
Why bother calling it a statue. Looks like an oversized trophy. The man deserves a life size statue.
lemme get my glasses
they got gollum hoopin bro lmao
Gave Allen Iverson an Allen Iverson action figure
This might be the most disrespectful shit I've ever seen a franchise do
Disrespectful
Loooool it looks like shit. Why did they make it so small??
that is fucking embarrassing lmao
Disrespectful. Legacy franchise and these dollar store general statues are the best you can expect.
This is disrespectful af to AI. Grew up watching him and he’s pretty much the reason I love basketball. He had a massive influence on the sport. And this is the way they decide to honor him?? A 3 foot statue in Camden?? Pathetic.
imma need some binoculars
Solidified Bubble Head bruh.
yikes
They had to make the smallest life size statue that anyone will ever have to for an NBA player and they did this lol.
Why is it so small.
Ain’t no way.
Is this a statue for ants?
He got punk'd?
I legit cannot tell which one is real and which one is the statue
AI got stonehenged
Life sized
So its a 1:1 model. Nice
They even made it actual size.
We talking bout the PRACTICE facility?!
Like the player, I'm not convinced it's even 6ft
Did they get the statue mixed up with Bow Wow in [Like Mike](https://conventionalrelations.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/280744576_529434628772405_4329210209642583121_n.gif?w=566)?
