Allen Iverson LEGENDARY Game 1 Highlights vs Lakers 2001 Finals - 48 Pts, Crossover On Tyronn Lue! 

HalloweenNight1978 why couldn’t people say the same for LeBron and the Cavs during the 2018 Finals?

"Allen Iverson tearing the lakers apart"

If only the Sixers picked up Dirk instead of Larry Hughes.

@@eazymoneydbooker5957 maybe because iverson is 6' tall.

@@Abstrack23 The Sixers was going to trade Larry Hughes for Tracy McGrady but Stephen A. Smith ran his big mouth and made the Raptors get cold feet. He blew the trade for the Sixers that would have been a great duo two the best in the league at time in their prime.

Pan Black Solutions because lue was clamping him the whole game

Pan Black Solutions, FACTS! That's what happens when most of American citizens are influenced and indoctrinated by media. Clueless sheeples

Exactly that's why they put Lue on him in the 2nd half to match his speed Iverson was too fast for Kobe to handle

Facts

@@darrionfloyd240 He had48 points one guy can't stop a MVP!

YES HAHAHAHA

Which is exactly why he didn’t win..... that 2K shit don’t work in real life 😂 It is fun to watch tho!!!

@@user-ne8iu4gg2f one of the stupidest comments I’ve read in awhile. He was going up against one of the best teams EVER that’s why he lost..

@@user-ne8iu4gg2fbe nice

Truth i was doing the same but we do it as a team in Charlotte

I can name you 10 Better players, allen Is a Beast and One of my favourite player but he isn' t a goat and a top 10

@@mattonella7878 what? You are sadly mistaken allen is in the top 2 PGs of all time top 15 best players of all time he popularized tattoos and braids the killer crossover the jewelry and "Urban clothing" and not being afraid to speak your mind and the league didn't like that and blackballed him somewhat and to this day those things still stand but the urban clothing got replaced by the weird shit and suits they wear while in the game tunnel but dont disrespect AI

@@DemonTime08 i am not disrespecting but ai is not Better than this: Jordan, LeBron,Kobe,jabbar,wilt,hakeem,shaq,Bird,magic,Duncan,curry and pg magic and curry are Better but he Is the third for sure

Magic and Stockton are 1A and 1B when it comes to top 2 point guards. AI was probably more talented but inefficient and wasnt dedicated. He wanted that party lifestyle.

@@skatei naw..

100%.

@@skatei really wish he got that dub, would’ve been number 1 for sure

I was only 8 but I remember it vividly. I remember Shaq punishing and abusing Mutombo all series. I thought we had a chance after game 1 but Kobe turned it up too after AI got the best of him.

Yoooo sameeee

This wasn’t as big of a mismatch as history tends to think. People say the sixers should have never gone to the finals but they were clearly the best team in the East. They had 2 starting all stars with AI and Mutombo. They had 6th man of the year Aaron Mckie. Legendary coach Larry Brown. The whole squad was just dogs. Kinda like that Pistons team that won it all (coached of course by LB). What history forgets is all the injuries the sixers had. Idk if they win a 7 game series if they were completely healthy but it would have been closer. Sixers played nearly the maximum number of games- two 7 game series with Raptors and Bucks. Lakers played the least number of games.

this is lowkey the game that made me a fan of iverson. watched it at my friends house in middle school with his family and everyone there was also lakers fans, and so I just kinda went a long with it. but as I watched I was so blown away by iverson cuz at the time I wasnt really paying attention to the nba like that and had never heard of him yet even tho I had hooped a lot thru my childhood. but I quickly identified with him being a smaller guy with a similar look. instantly became a fan and began to study him and now my whole game is pretty much matched off of his. i wore braids all thru middle school almost exclusively because of him. he is my favorite player of all time without question. the man inspired so much of my life. Long live AI 💯

Same here.. this series made me really understand how dominant shaq was if you catch my drift

Ai is the reason kobe started studying sharks 👀

Kobe: "It's all about hard work and practice." Iverson: "You talkin' about practice?"

RIP 🤣

No doubt

I thought it was Tyshaun Prince. 😁

@4browsing you mean Kobe.

Facts kobe fucked up vs detroit. His only good moment was that buzzer beater.

Kobeused to get cooked by Mike Bibby also during the Kings vs Lakers series lol. Mike Bibby was a great player the US has forgotten about.

Bobba Sparx facts

R.I.P

Great talent but lost

you are aware its highlights they dont show the misses :)

@@TheBarbahaba he means every shot made

Highlights don't show the misses, and Iverson also had a lot of misses. He shot 40 percent for the series.

@@turtleislandlac1490 not too bad considering the amount of shots he did take lol.. just sayin haha 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

Yeah cuz the league is weak as HELL now bro lmfao little soft ass kids playing ball now.... Put any warriors team against Jordans bulls or bad boy piston team lmfao there would be season ending injuries against the pistons 🤣😂🤷

Defense too 💪🏾

Facts homie!!!

They don't make them like that anymore. He was super special.

"He was holding me the whole time!!"

Cuz he just kept fouling AI the whole time

Hey, at least Lue got a ring in the end😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

@@juliusstuckey3913 ppl wont rmb lue for winning a ring in that finals. Ppl rmb lue cuz he got BMed by AI

@@demonised_5466 and the guy that won a chip as a coach and coached james

every crossover of Iverson's iconic. That's why he's got the best crossover in nba history. I mean, even MJ gets crossed and they still talk about it. Ty Lue should be proud Iverson makes him relevant. LOL.

Ty Lue at peace. This is making him more famous. Plus he won as a player and a coach. He said his two idols growing up were MJ and AI even though AI was just two years older than him....

Got that step over and the mj crossover reel lol

Chris Santosusso facts

Westbrook plays much harder

Matthew Moskal non he doesn't

All I can say is, "Nigga pleassssse!" Killed them!

Yeah their 🔥

@@hyl2735 Just say 'fire'. No need for bullshit high school girl emojis.

Lol 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

Yeah he was pretty annoyed xD But thats facts tho if you watch the whole game Lue had his hands on him the whole time it would annoy anyone

A.M. Ai will always be better than curry😭😭😂😂

Curry is a better PLAYER

AI is a mini-goat for sure, but Stockton and Thomas are better, maybe CP3.

uneedrambo Iverson’s better. Curry would never be able to carry a team to the NBA finals like LeBron or Iverson.

I'd go Isiah but nothing wrong with going with A.I at all

lmao

Lol I know AI is athletically gifted, but wouldn't you want to practice to make yourself even more dominant, just saying.

@@Abstrack23 The reason AI wasn't more dominant (aka the reason why he didn't get rings) is because he always had a shit team.

@@jameswalker6864 He didn't always had a shit team, he had Iggy, Korver, Webber and Melo with the Nuggets. But that was nearly past his prime. The 76ers team in 2001 was ranked the best defensive team in the league, but I agree offensively they didn't have as much. He is the best scorer for his size I have ever seen and one of the true mini goats along with Stockton, Thomas, Nash, Murphy + Manigault.

The practice comment he said is very misleading he really meant he had already done the practice u don’t get an mvp without any practice

That's exactly my same story. After Jordan I became a 76ers fan just because of AI. He was amazing

So you cheered for the bulls before Jordan?

I’m a younger fella. That’s how I feel about the Angels in mlb. I’m a Yankees fan but Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani. Gotta root for them too.

I’m the same way I grew up watching Jordan play ball and Allen Iverson is the only guy that I’ve ever been just as excited to see play the game, it was like falling in love with Jordan all over again when I seen Allen Iverson play the game,haven’t felt like that again til this day.

Legend

And Iverson's 76ers played 3 straight 7 game series coming in

LeBeautiful his shit was barely touching his neck 😂

Boi your going wherever LeBron goes stfu

omg ive seen u comment on like 100 videos

@@packersfan8107 There is no lebron

Now imagine him wit Embiid, Harden & Maxey tho.....

@@vodoumyers I'm feeling that.

Until one fateful June night in 2016.....lmfaooooooo Biggest choke act in professional sports history. Period.

I am always impressed by his shooting form. The way he shoots, with his legs kicking out and moving back in the air takes so much energy. He does this night in night out. It's crazy how he's able to score so much having to flail around being a small man. also, most people don't notice, but Iverson runs around screens just as much as Reggie Miller, Ray Allen and Richard Hamilton, who are all tasked to just run off screens for open shots. Iverson does that while also being a SUPERSTAR and iso a ton. This guy just keeps running with that speed of his. It's crazy.

He also played football and I think ran track so that training probably helped him reach that level of speed.

Bron was alone against prime spurs dynasty

I mean Lebron did drop 51 in Game 1 against the KD Warriors. Should've won too if JR wasn't completely brain dead

Most of the best players in the league like today like Giannis, Kawhi, KD and LeBron still take lots of long 2's

@@mcoeif even harden is transitioning his game to taking more 2 pointers since hes slowed down on his ability to finish at the rim.

@Mike Stone It could've been from the help of euroleague players too to where more three pointers were taken in game when realized that taller players who could shoot the three might be an advantage over shorter defenders and could spread out the defense for for easier cuts to the rim. Dirk, hedo turkaglou, peja stojakavic, all took effecient threes before it became more emphasized for American players to work on.

Curry*

U gotta understand certain people are different and shouldn't be underestimated and know when hard work pays off

ESPN has him at #29 all time

Top 20!

I say 3rd greatest SG of all time.

@@haqq1 nope wade is 3rd

Wade 2006

We should start a petition to bring NBA on NBC back?

Lmao. Shaq does that everytime

Thats what happens when you lose. People Still call game one of GSW vs Cavs “the game JR forgot the score” Meanwhile Lebron was cooking everyone they put in front of him. KD,Green or Iggy. Nobody brings that up tho.

Same goes for Draymond Green playing the best basketball of his Life in game 7 of the 2016 NBA finals. Just watched that game a couple days ago and this man was the best player on that court. But he rook a L so nobody remembers.

@@gw2102 ye curry choked there, coming from not a warriors hater, green had like 35, i could even say he was carrying the warriors

random unkown songs and still lost

he over extended his defense to be inside the paint to force iverson to shoot outside of the perimeter. The problem with that is Iverson can shoot. Kobe desperately needed help from his sixth men, the refs.

That was just game 1. He played much better D later in the series

@@FoxyChariot ... Really. Iverson averaged 35 for the series. LMAO

Setxboy He was still playing good defense. As was Tyronn Lue. Look at who they were guarding, what did you expect?

@@FoxyChariot ....If I would tell anyone in the galaxy that in the NBA finals (which is a tournament) the man I was guarding hit me for 35 a game over a five game series....YOU WOULD GET LAUGHED OUT OF YOUR SOX!
