There are several theories as to why Iverson’s nickname is the answer:

1. There was once a man who claimed to be Iverson’s old friend (Jamir Blake) Mann) claimed that he gave Iverson the nickname "The Answer" and therefore he demanded 25% of the profits Iverson earned from the nickname "The Answer." According to Blackman, he and Iverson have known each other since 1994. Of course, he was entrusted by Iverson's mother to drive Iverson to and from school every day. At that time, he called Iverson "the answer."

2. In 1996, Iverson left George County University and announced that he would join the NBA. The Philadelphia 76ers picked him in the first round. At that time, young players who joined the NBA began to blame themselves in order to be familiar with the fans as soon as possible. When it comes to nicknames, Iverson also decided to follow suit. Among many alternative nicknames, Iverson finally chose "Answer" as his nickname. Not long after, Iverson had the word "Answer" tattooed on his shoulder, and soon his nickname was remembered by fans who loved him.

3. Because when Iverson was at his peak, the result of the game was already known as long as he was on the court. Of course the 76ers won, so he was given the nickname "Answer."

4. When Xiao Ai first entered the NBA, everyone doubted him and believed that young people could not take responsibility. Moreover, there were many negative reports at that time, thinking that Xiao Ai was born in a black poor and grew up on the streets. Troubled boy. So the local media gave him the nickname: QUESTION, but Xiao Ai finally proved that he was not the question, but the answer: ANSWER.
