NBA Hall of Famer Allen Iverson has publicly praised Australian player Josh Giddey, highlighting his versatility and potential. Iverson stated, 'I love Josh Giddey. What you see is basically like a bird being released—he’s getting opportunity. I thought he could do all the things he’s been doing; he just needed an opportunity. Once he’s been given that chance, the things he can do out there… he’s a special basketball player. I’ve got a lot of love for him, and I’m a big fan.' Iverson’s comments come as Giddey, now with the Chicago Bulls, has been making significant strides this season, averaging a career-high 19 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists per game, flirting with a triple-double. Iverson also emphasized Giddey’s near-limitless ceiling, calling him 'a walking triple-double.' Giddey’s rise is notable given his previous limited opportunities behind league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander at Oklahoma City. His move to Chicago has allowed him to showcase his full potential, which has caught the attention of basketball legends and fans alike. Despite recent injuries, Giddey’s return is highly anticipated, with coach Billy Donovan expecting him to play soon. Iverson’s praise underscores Giddey’s importance to the Bulls’ future as he continues to develop into a key player in the NBA.
