On Wednesday evening, Allen Iverson took over the Philadelphia 76ers’ Twitter account to answer questions from fans using the hashtag #AskTheAnswer. Some of the highlights during the question and answer session included whether or not he could play cornerback for the Eagles, his 10 favorite rappers, and of course, Michael Jordan.
But first things first, Allen, is a hot dog a sandwich?
“That’s stupid. I ain’t answering it.”
Finally! Someone with the guts to say it. Now to the rest of the highlights.
You were the epitome of swagger and style in the NBA. Who do you think is the most influential/stylish player today?

True or false: You could still fill the hole the Eagles have at cornerback next year if Chip just asked?
Nope. I'm too old lol. #AskTheAnswer https://t.co/5p1W9A5vbI

He was just being modest. Nobody would dare challenge him on the outside.

That’s probably most people’s answer, but wouldn’t it have been great if he said someone like Dickey Simpkins?
What was your mentality before each game?
Serial killer mentality. #AskTheAnswer https://t.co/Qw91urq6gA

No surprise there. To be one of the best players in the league with a playing weight of only 165 pounds, he almost had to be.
Who are your top five dead or alive rappers?
I'll give you ten. BIG, Jay Z, TI, Jadakiss, Redman, Wayne, Jeezy, Rick Ross, 50, and The Game. #AskTheAnswer https://t.co/RnzCF6Q6oC

Marcus Banks? The 6-foot-2 journeyman point guard out of UNLV? That Marcus Banks? Actually, that’s pretty awesome.
