Allen Iverson Crossover 

MJ: From that moment on, it was personal.

Allen Iverson is the only person on the world to say that he legit crossed the legendary Michael Jordan

Even though he kinda recovered, he bit twice lol

“I think we can all be happy he wasn’t taller”

Why this sound like a national geographic documentary?

"You reach, I teach."-Allen Iverson

What makes this even better is that fact the whole arena knew what had to happen everyone spread away from iverson and jordan slowly walked up and took the spot like a final boss rolling up his shorts it made it feel like a movie

"Put that 45 on a 33 rpm" that would be slowing it down

A crossover is not about making the guy fall, it's about getting separation and getting him to bite on the wrong lane while you go the other way. This is as solid of a crossover you can get. So all of you saying it was not that bad, Jordan recovered... blah blah, still he took the bite, went the wrong way and could not contest the shot early enough after the separation.

MJ was a great defender because of his quickness and length. But AI makes him look old and slow on this awesome crossover.

5'11" against 6'6"...

Still to this day one of the most iconic moments in NBA history

My ankles still sore from this.

"Michael! Get up on him!" -Phil Jackson

“His quickness is unbelievable” - MJ

0:55 homie with the neck brace was healed 😭😂

Cross was so nasty my eyes are now permanently crossed.

The reason this is iconic is because back then iverson was so young, and Jordan was an aging legend. This event really reflects iverson taking over as one of the league's best guards as a young gun. Also, he looks sick in that sixers jersey

Two great legends right here showing you their best A.I. with the crossover & MJ with the great defense to take a crossover like that & almost still blocked the shot simply amazing only one MJ & A.I. thank you for what you did for the game & the phenomenal memories to match them 💯

I'm never wearing Jordan 12's again lol

the 464 dislikes are the guys he crossed up

Every time I listen Jackson yelling Michael it chills down my spine, I can definitely understand Iverson taking on the challenge

One of the most charismatic and influential player of all time people dont realize how big of an impact he changed the game and gave alot of hope for short players. Best P4P.

Anybody else get chills when Phil yell out Michael!?

“Iverson has Jordan, The crowd is into it” - Announcer

AI said it the best. "I gave him my BEST move and he still almost blocked it" the ultimate respect by a tiny warrior Allen Iverson.

This man did amazing things in the league. All we talk about was a crossover! This man is one of the best to ever do it. Talkin bout practice!

After that crossover, Iverson assured his place in the Hall of Fame

0:22 Jordan looks at A.I. when he walks on the court like, "I heard about you."

These kids today fail to understand that Allen was the perfect 1 on 1 player

I like how I see a bunch of MJ fans in the comments like "He almost blocked it so it doesn't count as a cross over" lmao

Classic crossover still beautiful on this day

Its a talent to cross the best.

Stop hating on the only person who was close to Michael Jordans standards. Allen Iverson was one of the greatest to ever live.

This will never get old

Im still watching

At Least Allen Can Say I Told Mj Not To Reach

He damn near made my boy MJ do a karaoke lmao

This crossover put Allen Iverson on the map, facts.

*when the video is older than 90% of fortnite players* Edit : *99%*

Jordan almost blocked it... scary good defense; he's half-falling and he's still got a hand on ball-side

We miss you Iverson!

This is hilarious still man the crowd reaction before he got cross was priceless

One of the greatest moments in basketball.

0:45...you reach, I TEACH NIGGUH!

It's been over 20 years, it's still worth watching🏀

The music for the video you can really feel how intense it was in that moment. Lit

The best little big man to play the game of basketball.. Hands down!!! Allen Iverson.

Jordan defense so good he still managed to get his hand In his face and on the ball. Ai was one of the best crossers in history

AI is the greatest player ever that dosent have a ring

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CROSSOVER I'VE EVER SEEN STILL TILL THIS DAY!

Props to MJ too, though, for getting crossed twice and still being able to jump and get so close to the block. Like a mad dog!

2 Legends right there.

Calling A.I.'s crossover weak is like owning a PS4 and calling an NES garbage...Nigga the shit was hot for its time.

Still legendary in 2019

This shot will forever be iconic! AI Legend!

the sounds in this video are simply amazing they are perfect for this iverson move

I can watch this everyday! Love AI's crossover on Jordan!

Whoa watching this August 2019

my number one crossover I always liked this move I’ve perfected it and I’m unguarded wit it

I always though this could have been worse for Jordan. Allen has proven he can put opponents on the floor. I think the X-factor here is that Jordan took a swipe at the ball, or that Jordan was even thinking of stealing the ball. I believe Jordan would eventually focus on just trying to keep Allen in front of him. What an amazing player Allen was; he was another reminder to everyone that when you can create off the dribble you're going to cause havoc. Lethal penetration.

Like Chris smoove would say.... That's a SMOOVE MOOOOVE!!!!!!!

i remember watching this when i was younger crazy this vid is 15 years old

He was crossing cats like iverson, crossed me up! Made my knees slap together... *Charlie Murphy*

These were the days

Still gives me chills til this day

Gives me chills...and I'm a Dubs fan

That was Iversons Championship ring in a sense. It was always fun to watch Iverson play.

This should be the most viewed basketball vid ever. everyone should see this

Most legendary crossover ever!

I feel like this was like the beginning and an end of an era for dribble moves...

i always get this feeling of "bad assness" after seeing that play. A.I. was a legendary ball handler

"Off that one move, AI got his fame, they forgot Jordan had 35 and still one that game"

2 legends at it's finest !!!

I watched this and all of ais crossovers for years so many times to improve mine

On the black top I was a very quick defender averaging six steals in a 21 point game. My side to side and back step skills were honed from a lifetime of tennis all the way to playing college type players. I was quick always on my toes able to return 100+ mph serves. Then we meet people like Allen in our life. Once I met this Vietnamese kid who blew my mind. I was 24 at the time he was 18. Crossover madness, and from a standstill had the jump on me by a step to step and half when he launched left or right. His dribble skills were equal in either hands. I think of Allen whenever I see him on YT. After 25 years I still haven't forgotten that kid.

Jordan is only human, A.I had his number that night, He had the mutha fuckin Bruce Lee Glow... You don't fuck with somebody when they got the glow. lol

0:14 - Putting a 45" on a turntable set for 33 RPM would decrease the speed and make the music sound like it was in slow motion. I think he meant the other way around. Regardless, I remember watching that game as a kid and being amazed that Iverson took Jordan one-on-one.

Some images just can’t be unseen.

One of the all time greatest moments in NBA history 🙌

Still watch it December 2016

I love this!!!! That age old question. Can I stand toe to toe with the best? There has to be no greater feeling than having the question answered by arguably The Best that has ever played the game.

CARRY!!

It was a good feeling watching this live in Philly!!! I looked up to AI

Mj says no..allen says yes..

This is just casually getting recommended 15 years later huh?

I come back to this a lot because they called Phil the Zen Master and its weird because from where he’s sitting other coaches would have to scream that but he damn near whispered and everybody heard him over all the noise in the building.

Who else watching this over 15 years since it was uploafed

A rookie crossing a legend? Damn

The greatest crossover of all time. 🔥

This is so satisfying to watch.

Most anticipated moment/match up in NBA history...

All opposition aside, that cross was nasty. One for the books!

Who still loves watching iverson in 2019??

The fact this clip is so incredibly perfect from so long ago is scary

En 2019 y sigo buscando Iverson !!!!

If they didn’t put this on Last dance documentary , the documentary it's meaningless

I remember watching this with my dad back in '97, this was the only time I've seen him wide-eyed...looking at me, like what the hell just happened here

A crossover is not about making the guy fall, it's about getting separation and getting him to bite on the wrong lane while you go the other way.

I've seen many films and documentaries where people say something and then it actually happens your words really do have power.
