Iverson's 2000-01 MVP Season Highlights 

“I don’t wanna be Jordan, I don’t wanna be Magic, I don’t wanna be Bird or Isiah. I don’t wanna be any of those guys. When my career’s over, I want to look in the mirror and say I did it my way.” - The Answer

*One of the greatest NBA players ever that never won the ring*

When I see Allen Iverson, I always think of rap music, 2000s, 50 Cent, baggy shorts, headbands and everything related to the 2000s. He didn't just make a legacy in the NBA, he made a legacy in HISTORY.

One of the greatest scoring machines of the NBA. He was a beast at scoring.

To say he carried that team would be an understatement. He even got them to the finals. Damn, that’s a true MVP

Prime Iverson would break Corona's ankle

One of the greatest wow I wish we didn’t get old I wish I could go back to watch him play all over again

Iverson deserved every win he got. Forever my favorite player

“Shaquille O’Neal not exactly sprinting back on defense” 😂

Iverson was like 5’11’ on a good day and he dragging scrubs to the Finals GOAT mode

This guy is a masterpiece. Extremely quick, fearless, mad handles and sick timing. Iverson is the GOAT 🐐

We are the same age and he was such an icon. He was a shooting guard in a point guards body. I still get chills watching him play.

*Some people wanna be like Mike, others Kobe, but for us with short stature, we just wanna be like Iverson man.*

6’0 165lbs 4x scoring champ played in the toughest defensive era ever and brought a team full of rebounders to the NBA Finals. Ring or not he’s hall of famer and a legend

As a Sixers fan for the last 43 years, I don't really remember Allen NOT having it going! That's not to say that he didn't have some bad games but, even in his bad games, we NEVER really felt like it was a bad game! No matter WHAT kind of game he was having, you were entertained! You knew at ANY MOMENT, he could get hot 🔥 and then it's on! And trust me, he didn't have many bad games at all!!!!! We could ALLLLLLLWAYS depend on him to give us whatever he's got and whatever that was, we loved EVERY MINUTE OF IT, EVEN PRACTICE 😂😂😂😂😂

He took us to the finals and lost to the great Kobe and Shaq. I couldn’t be more proud of being born and raised in Philadelphia. Iverson did so much for this city and did so so much for the team. Regardless of him not having a ring to his name, he’s still a top 10 of all time.

The player who really made me like this league. Not MJ or Lebron, just AI.

Love him or hate him, you have to respect how hard he played.

The shorts the sleeve the head band the sweatband let’s look at the impact and influence this man had on the game !!!!

He was fast and quick, attacking the basket. He was the greatest to play for the 76ers.

*One of the greatest scorers of all time*

I really wish Iverson got a championship because he was just so good

Iverson Won MVP During Prime Shaq, Kobe, Garnett, Duncan, Mcgrady, Carter, He Took Over The League After Jordan Retired!

Prime Iverson…. Absolutely phenomenal

Iverson could kill teams in today's nba

I love that Iverson always looked like a kid among giants out there

80s, 90s & early 2000s the NBA was something magical for me and my family. Brought us all together and was incredible to watch. Now, we wouldn’t turn it on if you paid us.

This guy was extremely great. Mad handles, crazy speed and sick timing, Allen Iverson is still a GOAT 🐐

My guy Iverson should’ve won a couple rings 💯

Look at Iverson man

3:11 that crossover with that sound effect was mad clean

Truly one of a kind. There will never be another Iverson. He’s the blueprint.

I miss this era of basketball. I feel like I didn’t appreciate it enough at the time because the last several years of the league doesn’t get me any where near as excited.

A.I. changed the game of basketball from the culture to the crossover this guy one of the best to have ever do it....

Legendary athlete. Still gives me goosebumps.

Watching this and realizing how lucky I was to be 15 years old in 2001 and grow up in Philly..watched every game.. Went to a handful of games! The city was on fire!

Look at Iverson man, so inspirational

I love how Iverson inspires children that they can be good at basketball even with a shorter height

Bro go count how many times he’s getting past the first defender, then the second, and finishing over the third. NBA defenses at the time were literally designed to stop him and could not do anything vs him, that’s why he’s the answer.

One of the coldest to be on the court! Chilling watching these clips.

The Mike Vick of the NBA literally lol. Inspired so many young ones around the globe. Trendsetter, style, and most of all had heart. Was fearless "only" standing at 6'0. Real ones know AI was nasty. The cross on MJ solidified his spot as one of the greats even without a ring. Legendary player.

I've been an NBA fan since 1991, I watched MJ pierce the clouds and Hakeem doing the dream shake, I watched rookie Duncan kicking asses and taking names, I watched Stockton and Malone delivering on every single night and Barkley kicking Shaq's ass in hand to hand combat... and while I consider MJ to be the unquestionable GOAT, never have I asked myself 'is this dude for real' more times than while watching The Answer sending top defenders to get him a soda while he goes warp 9 in the other direction. The skill, the athleticism, the speed and the swagger packed in that 5'11'' skinny frame will never be replicated again. AI was a nuclear weapon packed in a size of a hand grenade!

I went to a few Sixers games when he was in his prime, and I got pretty close to him during warmups, the man was barely 5'11. The atmosphere in Philly was electric when he was in the building. What a great player to watch.

Iverson's scoring prowess often overshadowed his excellent passing ability 💯

Nowadays you need at least 2 stars to even think of the finals... This guy was tryna take out the whole league by himself. One of the all time greats

I don’t ever wanna hear that kyrie is better than A.I.

Nobody has had a bigger heart beating in their chest in any sport. On top of that he rips the heart out his opponents. After every play you see that disbelief in their eyes.

The man brought a good taste for dribbling and crossovers as an attacking element. how cool it was that this little man slipped through the defense, between two players...like a knife through butter. Perfect timing. He was drawing lace on the site. True basketball art. And only then the system of fast dribbling, crossover and shooting was passed on to modern players. But Iverson is the beginning!

I havent seen the footage from the Finals look that crisp ever. Can y'all release the whole game on RU-vid lol

Mind you this guy is like 6 ft 160 pounds, just insane, one of the greatest athletes ever.

back in 2001 i was a 7th grader. i heard allen iverson for the first time in my life. saw him ball it up on tv but didn't appreciate his game due to my age and the lack of knowledge to basketball. but now i watch these vids and it impresses me a lot more than i thought it would. just keep on looking for these type of motion pieces. Allen Iverson, true mvp if you ask me.

He got to be one of the most difficult players to guard. He was so quick that if you blink he's gone.

I’m over here thinking I’m watching his career highlights but then I’m remember he did all this in one season

As Kobe said, we are just lucky AI wasn't 6'4"! Imagine if this guy had another 4 inches on him!

You have to realize that AI was pushed into basketball, but he is actually an elite football player and you could see it in his play style, he loves the contact.

I miss watching basketball the Classic NBA Will always be a Great legendary

To see this type of SCORING from a point guard at 5'10 - 5'11" is very very rare at this speed of basketball. What a manimal just always on that kill mode.

He really did it by himself, nobody to help the dude out 😂

The way this man would still shoot the ball even when all the odds were stacked AGAINST him is why he’s my favorite all time player 8:44 is a prime example, so grateful I got to actually watch him play growing up as a kid highly inspirational, The Answer! 🗣️

I see so much of AI’s movement on the court in Curry’s game.. it’s amazing to see what AI gave to this game. ✊🏾💯

Dang, the speed, the dribbling, the crossover! Such a beast, yet so beautiful to watch! Miss those days.

No one on our team can replace him he is forever a Sixers legend ♥️💙

He was dope AF. Notice how much harder it was to score back then

Growing up Iverson was my favorite player. I remember I bought his shoes, and Jersey. He had the best shoes in NBA at that time. Still looking good to this day.

Can't believe this was 19yrs ago. I was amazing watching him live in his prime

Iverson my man

I live in Russia, Siberia. In the 90s and early 2000s I watched the nba at like 05 am. AI was my inspiration to fell in love love in the game forever

The way he set motion for all future ball handlers is crazy

- “I’m going to guard A.I.!” - good luck

I just love this guy, too good, has charisma, honorable, what a talent, flash, clutch, a leader, cool, iconic & quick

This man not only had to carry fan expectations on his back, but the weight of his subpar teammates. What a fucking legend.

Look at his size Pure talent Legend!!

Iverson is so inspirational bro

He really was like a mini MJ. Crazy footwork and finishing, and the crossover in place of MJs dunking.

A BEAST....pure and simple. One of the best ever

Gil’s brought us back to watch greatness

Like so many other things in life, the NBA was so much tougher back then. Miss watching The Answer play.

Still my Favorite player ever... You see his impact on the league today more then anyones

GOAT AND A TRUE DEFINITION OF A CULTURE.

3:11 the effects man on the crossover

4:12, nobody else in NBA history has ever moved like that. Not sure if anyone ever will again.

0:51 famous and great shot. He is legend!

Proud of you AI YOU PLAYED WITH GREAT PASSION, HARD WORK DEDICATION TO THE GAME YOU WAS & WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY TOP 5

A fierce and ferocious competitor, truly one of the great ones

Marc Zumoff been calling 76ers games and screaming “YES!!” for decades man 😭 being from Philly I can verify that Zum is a legend 👏🏽 a true GOAT in his field
