Barkley's mockery represents the attitude of a large group of veterans in the circle, many of whom dislike Allen Iverson.
In recent years, the street basketball culture represented by Allen Iverson has swept across All-America, causing intense clashes with traditional college basketball.
The tattoos, gold chains, cornrow hairstyle, hip-hop style clothing, and oversized jerseys and shorts brought by Allen Iverson have spread through the basketball circle like wildfire.
Nowadays, young fans love to put oversized NBA jerseys over their clothes, wear a tilted baseball cap on their heads, hang big gold chains or some medallions around their necks, walk with a swagger, and speak like they're rapping.
When they see basketball, their first reaction is streetball, crossover, outside isolation play, Black hip-hop; the old shorts and disciplined team basketball have become part of history.
