Iverson's affection for Harden is no secret. The former 76ers star heaped praise on Harden in an interview with ESPN in January.

"[Harden] deserves all the praise that he gets," Iverson told ESPN's Rachel Nichols. "There’s always going to be somebody out there saying he could do something else better than what he’s doing. I think he just keeps his foot to the pedal. …Because I know his teammates love having him in that foxhole and rocking with him night in and night out."

Iverson was an 11-time All-Star in 14 NBA seasons from 1996 to 2010. The Georgetown product led the league in scoring four times (including back-to-back scoring titles in 2000-01 and 2001-02) and he led the NBA in usage rate five times. Iverson was in some ways the Harden of his era. 

Harden will win his third straight scoring title in 2019-20. He is one of three players this century with at least three scoring titles, joining Iverson and Kevin Durant. Harden's 36.1 points per game mark in 2018-19 was the highest single-season scoring average since Michael Jordan in 1986-87.
