"White Iverson" is still getting a ton of streams.

Allen Iverson had himself a busy weekend recently as he was Dwyane Wade's Hall of Fame induction. Overall, it was a very celebratory time for the NBA legend. Iverson received some kind words from Wade, and he even got a bit misty-eyed. Iverson is a true legend, and his contributions to the sport remain underrated. Moreover, he is also quite significant from a pop culture perspective. For instance, Post Malone's track "White Iverson" was a tribute of sorts to AI. Now, the song has 1 billion streams on Spotify.

In a video on the Spotify YouTube channel, Post Malone revealed how he feels about the new accomplishment. As you can see, he feels extremely good about it. “It feels super cool that the song does connect with people, and I’m just happy to bring joy into anyone’s life when I can,” Malone said. “It’s an amazing feeling for me, and that really gave me the confidence and the courage to keep attempting to do what I love. I just appreciate all the support, and it’s the most beautiful feeling in the world for me. Thank you.”
