Allen Iverson is one of the best (and most popular) NBA players of all time.

Back in February, the Hall of Fame point guard was on Shaquille O'Neal's podcast (The Big Podcast with Shaq).

This week, they posted a clip from the interview where Iverson revealed his all-time NBA starting five (h/t HoopsHype).

Iverson: "Steph, Kobe, Mike, LeBron, Diesel [Shaq]."

Iverson's choices are hard to argue with.

Curry is seen by many as the best point guard of all time.
