Allen Iverson still remains one of the most popular players in NBA history.

Despite last playing in the league during the 2009-10 season, he has over 14 million followers on Instagram.

Recently, Iverson made a heartfelt post for his son that had 60,000 likes.

He wrote: "The true definition of a son. He takes care of his mother and his family. He never disrespects his mom or dad. Never gets into trouble. Never pretends to be something he’s not. He looks out for his sisters, always around, always a familiar face. If we ever need anything, he’s there—no questions asked.

I’m so proud of the man you’ve become. I couldn’t wish for a better son.

We’re gonna live this life forever—together!

I love you, my man. My Bud!"

Iverson also spent time with the Memphis Grizzlies, Detroit Pistons and Denver Nuggets.
