Honorable Mention: Allen Iverson

“The Answer” might not have as many tattoos that other guys on this list have, but tattoos were the Lewis to his crossover Clark. Iverson found new ways to pioneer the game, from tattoos and crossovers to the arm sleeve. AI was the answer to a question the NBA was dealing with, ‘what will the future of the NBA be like’? Sure someone else might have come along later in the game and brought these things to light, but Allen Iverson was exactly what the game needed. He brought the skill, the speed and the demeanor to a game that was lacking in the last two.
