two of fredeeky's favorites...
PHILADELPHIA -- Before there was Michael Vick, the elusive, quick-as-lightning quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, there was Allen Iverson.
Both grew up in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, and both were star quarterbacks for their high school teams - Iverson at Bethel High in Hampton and Vick at Warwick High in Newport News.
We may never know who the better quarterback is, but many contend that Iverson was just as good a football player, if not better, than Vick.
Even Vick admired the way Iverson played.
"He's the reason I play the way I play, running around the field and throwing the deep ball," Vick said. "Our style is exactly the same. [Iverson] was really good. He was somebody we always had to go see play every Friday night."
