With Earvin his Johnson was also Magic. Only guy I know from back in the day that got aids and gained weight while living a long life.
During his early childhood years in Hampton, Iverson was given the nickname "Bubba Chuck". A childhood friend, Jaime Rogers, said that Iverson would always "look out for the younger kids" and that "he could teach anybody." This is a copy/paste from a google search, I have always called him that.
