True enough, the most well-known figures in this sport are the ones who dominated the NBA and became some of the best players in the league has ever seen. But many of these players are also known for their cultural impact on the sport, becoming some of the most popular names that basketball has ever seen because they brought something new, different, and unique to the game. During the ‘70s and early ‘80s, Julius “Dr. J” Erving became the most popular player because he changed the culture of the NBA from what used to be a sport for giants into a game that gave rise to the emergence of high-flying dunkers. Erving turned the game into an entertainment spectacle with his jaw-dropping athletic feats. The same could be said about Michael Jordan, who not only changed the way that the sport was played but also impacted the culture of basketball with his larger-than-life persona and the emergence of sneaker culture. Meanwhile, Allen Iverson emerged as a renegade during the 2000s largely due to his defiant and rebellious personality, which allowed him to become a culture-changer during his era. In many ways, a basketball player does not need to be putting up high-scoring performances and win the biggest awards in the NBA to impact the culture of the sport. There are a lot of popular players who might not be the best at what they do but they are able to change the game in their own way. One such player is the heart and soul of one of the most memorable basketball groups in the history of the sport—the Fab Five. Did you enjoy this excerpt?
