Allen Iverson Leaves Shaq Speechless With His All-Time Starting 5 

Fr I respect that so much cuz mfs really be tryna play Kobe man.

"Killers respect killers" in AI's words and Kobe had the same respect for AI. Ernie Johnson asked Kobe "Who are the best competitors you've faced?" in 2016. Kobe didn't even think about saying LeBron and he said two names, MJ and AI.

Yep, plus he dsnt disrespect the younger/current players. Plus, if i remember correctly, he always shows love and respect to those who came before him as well. AI was one of my favs growing up and i guess its kinda sad to say but another reason i love and respect the dude even more is cuz hes one of the few who respects all, his "elders", his peers and his "underclassmen". Crazy how thats kind of such a novelty now.

@@diablejambe3460 you’re right. He shows no hate to the new guys either. Gotta respect it.

Real recognize real

AI just balls man. He doesn't give a shit about much but when it comes to ball he respects the game. He's probably the most skilled ball handler in the history of the game but he knows his limits and knows that he's gotta put kobe and steph over him cause they are that fucking good.

@@user-xc2vk7uk5e I miss the old players. They weren't distracted by social media and didn't need player empowerment. They got out and ball like their life depended on it. It's a sad situation that kids nowadays will never know how watching real competitors inspires people. They count stats, watching highlights because there isn't anything worth to watch.

As someone who worked for years in the casino industry. Iverson is none of those things. He is one of the worst people I have ever met in my life.

@@AfroWasiu I can't name the casino for obvious reasons. But I worked as a Pit Boss there. Now casinos (This one specifically) will pretty much let you do whatever you want if you're spending that kind of money, or you're a VIP. I'm talking ANYTHING. Be rude to staff, make an absolute ass of yourself. They will tell us to do whatever to keep you there and happy. I have seen VIPS do the wildest of things up here. Allen Iverson to this day is the ONLY millionaire that is banned from that casino for behavior. Despite how much he spent (And he was a big time gambler) We used to have to get specific dealers to deal to him (He played three card poker mostly) because he would berate most dealers so badly that they would end up in the back crying or outright quit (2 dealers straight up quit and one threatened to quit if we put her on that table with him) On more than one occasion he sexually assaulted a waitress by groping them, he even spit on a dealer after getting a bad hand. Everyone was so happy when they finally banned him. Iverson is a terrible human and everything bad that has ever happened to him he deserves.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, I hate that stinking ass trash juice that drips from the garbage trucks in front of you. 🤢🤮

2:04-2:37 Explains it considering Dennis Rodman's character & being friends with the dictator known as Kim Jong Un. How he scored someone like Madonna is beyond me!?🤷🏽‍♂️ Maybe a publicity stunt?

Hahaha

Bobby Boucher doesn't even like that water. 😂😂

clifford robinson sue shaq all day

:D I sure was hoping and it did not dissapoint :P

Could’ve said Draymond😭😭😭

You got Shaq, AI, Robinson. You already got crazy 🤣

Me too, because I read your comment before it happened.

AI knows what’s 🆙 . Most dominant team would be: MJ, Kobe, Shaq, LeBron, & Curry UNSTOPPABLE

I’d trade mj for peak Klay Thompson

🤣🤣@@WhiteVipor

😂😂😂

@@WhiteVipor many children would

imagine, what if the media narratives weren't accurate :o

@@peteblaxmith i did read two ppls comments who said if hes not under the media lens hes an asshole in this comment section and they had simillar stories so idk

FACTS! That why AI is so respectful of Curry...although AI is one of the all-time guards in NBA history.

I was with you until the last part MJ and Yao had a huge global impact.

@@soulbrotha24Mike is hard to beat global wise but I think Steph is the only one close. Tho eastern countries love Yao too

@@austinroberts9787Yeah most likely.. Kids wanted to be like Mike.. now kids trying to shoot threes from way deep.. xD

MJ really impacted the globe. Steph changed the NBA yes

AI wasn’t a selfish player that was a myth propagated by Phillys roster construction at the time. Idea was to get 4 cheap defensive specialists who could save all their energy for defense and have AI generate the offense. Derrick Rose’s Bulls functioned similarly except he had Boozer and Rip Hamilton not Tyrone Hill and Eric Snow.

I dont really know, but i think his underatanding of not winning a championship just makes him humble by default. If he wasnt Shaq and anyone else would be getting at him like shaq does chuck.

Dude is under 6 feet with shoes off but had the most heart in the league. He wanted to win more than anybody, and he carried the 76ers in a fashion I haven’t seen since.

⁠@@mybestnugget7514 true but he also had long arms, a stupid vertical, amazing cardio and a heart of a lion

Same feeling here. I even hated him way back and then I watched his interviews and saw how humble the guy is. AI is now one of my faves. Dude is great beyond basketball.

It's nothing but pure jealousy that they are not like him and it's understandable to a certain degree🤷🏽‍♀😂😂😂

Hopefully you will one day king

💯

Shaq does EDM events as a DJ. Between that, Rap & NBA association I'm sure the incident will come up. Cheers

I met Shaq in the Bahamas and he was just walking around messing with random people. He came over and took pictures with my kids. Nicest most down to earth dude you will ever meet. I will say this, when you see him up close be prepared because that MF is huge! He put his hand on my daughters shoulder and all you could see was her face.

ya, he is a good interview for sure.

Steph is Shaq's favorite player to watch. He proved him wrong so many times that he cant help but be a fan

@@Pochitaman30 You have a link where he talks about that?

@@JohnBonetti type it in youtube and many videos will pop up because he constantly bragging on Steph

@@JohnBonettilegit says it all the time stop trying to hate 💀

What? I actually thought he meant Stephon Marbury for a sec.

😂😂😂😂

That's unbelievable

Why Athletes have podcasts co host always Caucasian men

@@breonmitchell2443they work w each other on tnt and have good chemistry don’t see an issue

​@@breonmitchell2443Ask Kanye or Dame Dash.😂

​@@breonmitchell2443Because white guys are better at interviewing than black guys. Just look at EJ on inside the NBA

​@@breonmitchell2443 because most successful people are not racist.

That’s the big 3 like nba street

Big facts 💯

LOL i just got mine from simplesneaker its actually fire

You couldn't acknowledge one without the other. They were truly the main two young guards that Mike had respect for. Right off the jump as he was on his way out

@@jarrellmeade7117 AI was as intense as Kobe, maybe more. It was a great rivalry.

Man I severely disliked Iverson back in the day before Bron. I remember going to the Laker parade and someone holding a sign out a building that said f*ck Iverson 😮

Two guys with more heart and toughness than LeFraud James

yep if Kobe went to Philly and ai played with Shaq in LA their ring counts would be reversed

Just cause you like someone doesn’t mean they should be a president lmao y’all glazers disgust me. He’s just a person

@@ebn128 Yup and ya mother glazed me last night

Gotta go with the 3-ball in today's NBA.

I had the answer 5's, white with the red! I'd wear them even if the fit didn't match, lol!

@@marcosmireles7545 i had to look and see which I had, I had the 6s. I wore them with everything too 😂 those shoes had me dribbling like a little AI too 😂

Who??

wow, you don’t know shit about basketball, huh?

@@oldemonteefthat’s literally the best inside , outside and mid range on top of all world defense from both your sg and small forward and no one’s overpowering Shaq on the inside.

Hakeem, MJ, Duncan, Bird, Magic

LeBron, MJ, Bird, Hakeem, Kareem

Cause for him it's not about getting rich it's about staying rich. All business.

A.I. is hyped to have taken Philly to the finals by himself, but Mutombo won the defensive player of the year award that season.

Seems they were sticking to players of their era.

Or Karl Malone.

I think Shaq thinks that the team a player who won't complain about getting enough shots. I mean, the other players really need to shoot it to be efficient.

Name anyone who can do what Rodman did, timmy was super straight forward but nobody could emulate rodman

Draymond Green@@alexpanting4177 Tim Duncan is in a completely different level/category from either of them. I lived in Chicago for the Bulls 2nd 3-peat so I saw Rodman every day. I now live in Oakland and have watched Draymond his entire career. From my point of view, Tim Duncan is the most underrated superstar.....ever. He could do what Draymond and Dennis do defensively and neither can touch him offensively.

​@@MrClebophd Exactly why you put Tim on there. If you're building a super team and you don't have Tim as your 4, you're not building the best team. Guy had ZERO ego. Just wanted to win. Needed him to anchor a defense and get rebounds, Tim was happy to do it. Needed a bucket, Tim could get you one. Needed an unflappable superstar surrounding by the egos of Shaq, Kobe and MJ, Tim was your guy.

Who U takin off to put him in da lineup fa??

Larry in a Top 5 all time no question....best sm fwd ever...Rodman himself will tell you about Bird running circles around him,,,

​@@mja4wpLebron is the best SF ever. Just stop. I'm not even a Lebron stan, but be serious.

Yep, every “all time” team needs Steph, the ultimate floor spacer and a guard who doesn’t need to dribble the air out of the ball, especially those old timers likes to pick players who can’t shoot three well and tends to be a ball hog. I have seen some people put Kobe, MJ, Shaq, Lebron, and Magic on the same team, how is that even going to work? None of them shoots 3s well, lanes would be clogged, Magic and Lebron would be fighting over who gets to dribble the ball.

Steph isn't an all time great.

@@penkima4923 He is when it comes to building a starting five.
