His name is spelt Allen Iverson

Iverson began using a Basketball sleeve during this season during his recovery from bursitis in his right elbow.[16] Other players, including Carmelo Anthony, and Kobe Bryant,[17] have adopted the sleeves as well, as did fans who wore the sleeve as a fashion statement.[18] Iverson continued wearing his sleeve long after his elbow had healed.[17] Some believe that the sleeve improved Iverson's shooting ability, while Steven Kotler of Psychology Today suggested that the sleeve may act as a placebo to prevent future injuries.[17]

And that is why he wears the sleeve.
