Throwback: Kobe Bryant 31 vs Allen Iverson 23 Duel Highlights (NBA Finals 2001 Game 2), Trash Talk! 

I miss these days too man... the nostalgia damn

+enrique lanza what?

Muhammad Ali lol I said that same thing. enrique lanza​ dude you just put "curry vs stephen" whose the same person lmao

enrique lanza all good bro no worries

enrique lanza uh steph curry? is that a joke?

Kobe found out there no answer for the answer (A I)

Charles Bolds and AI found out what mamba mentality was

rohit d A.I was more impressive though just cause he was able to do what Kobe did at a smaller size

I hate wen ppl compare two greats. Give praise to both for being this dominant and keep it pushing

@@jayrdot5240 AI straight up carried. think he averaged like 35 ppg. Meanwhile shaq was tearing it up with 33ppg and kobe with 24ppg. AI was one of the most rare talents at that time.

Why don't people understand that this guy has a horrible field goal percentage.

He was a great player but he never couldn't step up his game up more like Bryant and achieve championship and broke record that what makes kobe Bryant special that's why he's a legend every year kobe was coming with something new

luis carillo Kobe had a decent team. A.I didnt. U sound dumb right now.

Iverson had a pretty good team to that's why they went to the finals but I gotta admit of course lakers had a better center cause of shaq, So I sound I dumb cause I give my honest opinion and you sound like a dumb little kid cant have a conversation! I get it you a big time fan of Iverson which is cool , but you have to learn to respect people that they have different point of view dude and not acting like a little kid we all grow people here hommie no need to offend anyone !!

Did u just say Iverson had a good team ? Im done witchu 👌

No! Because he has shaq! Without shaq kobe won't win against Ai

@@ycee8629 Bruh shut yo bitch ass up. Kobe would still win the series if Shaq wasn’t there

@@ycee8629 Kobe won 2 without Shaq who NEVER won anything before he got Kobe so 🤡

@@Mercurial. Shaq averaging 33 a game is why the Lakers won. Without Shaq the Sixers win in 5.

Coca Cola haha

John R Yo that’s fax man had HEART. 💯💯

A.I is a fearless guy

He has that Football mentality : not afraid to fight

This is Kobe Bryant's Hometown in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Preach that shit

Amen. Hate how soft it is right now. I love when the players want to kill each other on the court. That makes thr game so much more competitive and entertaining to watch

facts!

+RahulPresentsKobe Mad Respect

Yup

I agree... I believe he should had won one but I'm such a laker fan I would had been devastated if they won one lol

He hall of fame now

Just because you deserve it, doesn't mean you should have it.

@@firecrackerjack68 stupid

@@jponz85 I'm a Laker fan myself because of my father but, I would never tell him when I was young while he was rooting for Kobe I was rooting for Iverson.

Kobe? lolllll

@@arsenioseslpodcast3143 um y is that funny🤔

Javie, they were mad because he criticised their no calls publicly and got fined for it

Chris B. Yea unlike Kobe & MJ who got all the calls couldn’t blow on them without ref blowing the whistle

The refs won it for the lakers vs the sixers in 2001 and also vs the kings in 2002. It's not because they don't like AI, it's just an alibi. How about mike bibby? They don't like mike bibby? It's just an alibi, so they can get away for rigging the games. The lakers are fake champions

@@layuponthedownlow portland game 7 in 2000?!

@@layuponthedownlow Nah... There's a documentary on RU-vid where one of the refs admitted that they were intentionally not giving Iverson any calls.

Lolll

GabKoost No Now Lebron wants to be on the same team as all the superstars and think that is Great!

+GabKoost Yes i hate all this friendly sh*t.....

+GabKoost its ok if ur friends off the court, just dont be friends ON the court. jordan and barkley were best buds but they would kill each other on the court, talk trash and throwing elbows to each other. i miss the old days.

+213 except in the finals we're Barkley didnt go near Jordan or knock him on his ass.

Exactly. And excuse the ref gave for missing calls is laughable. Clearly cheating.

@@meg-k-waldren But, there was meaning to it. Did you see the video when one of the referees explained what was the intention.

Agree^^ there's weak ass defense this era probably due to everything being called a foul..

+Flex Forem the defense today is actually better than it was in these days. You have to guard faster, stronger opponents with less contact. These days contact was overlooked. You have to be a better defender today to survive if you ask me.

+moballardful They don't call contact as much in the playoffs, even now. I watched games back then and the only difference between now is they call a lot more touch fouls and players stand around a lot more. Not to mention the players over dribble their ass off in this era. Kobe won 9 all defensive titles in his career.

W

Right! Refs def helped da lakers out wit alotta no calls on blatant fouls

😂😂😂 Early 2000s NBA could get away with serious cheating. Harder to do so today, cuz social media would bring serous attention to it.

@Joshua Rivers please...he has cried more times. That's the difference. Dude is built like a truck. He should never be flying back.

🙄

It's worse now

Crooked refs

Fuck these referees

The Lakers were 12 point favorite, and only won by 9

it sucks, really sucks

Yeah. Bullcrap

THISISRISE uhh...well there's a team called tha Warriors...no? mmk

Lux Norris what a stupid ass comment. let me answer that, westbrook.

King Of The NawfSyde lol a stupid comment seriously lol.. but yes is if anything I agree Westbrook is the closest

@@dblock5279 what do you think about Giannis?

CrazyFoo501 Not really.

negative_pt no all what he said is 100% true

Jhmel he was just averaging a ridiculous amount... 31+ ppg 6+ assists in playoffs and your not top 5.. the top 5 must of all been monsters...

Jhmel well in that case Jordan wasn't top five because pippen was helping him get good looks.

hagon barnes Jordan got no help from Pip during the flu game. Detroit didnt give two shits about Pip. Said so themselves. But Kobe was top 5. I dont like him but he was top 5. Pip was also great but had a habit of disappearing offensively.

That's one of top 5 moves I ever seen, he had Shaw on skates. At the time in high school I was like yeez when I saw that live on telly. We don't see that kind of skill level anymore!

Well not in shooting guard history.. Allen was a mix of PG and SG... If he was only a SG then yea lol

+worldofwarcraftowns1 Its not even close.

+runelord37 you dont even believe that

No...I know that. Has nothing to do with belief.

Common lebron is the creator now of SUPERTEAM.. hes not like kobe or mj..

no, lebron is better; there, I just won the argument

Because back i those days lebron didn't know about transferring teams to get rings

I would love to hear that conversation

nice upload! love every ai clip!! 

NBA RIGGED

19 years later...refs are still sucking Lakers.

@@dawarrior95 Obviously in 2022

W

Boy was Beasty man glad some else noticed it

Kobe had a better stat line than Shaq in Game 7 of the 2000 Finals, which at those times was harder to win than the actual Finals.

Sergio Garcia Only went to 6 games....

I meant WCF. You can tell by the second part of the comment.

2001 Shaq, when healthy, was the greatest center, maybe even the greatest player, of all time.

no Hakeem and Kareem are both better Shaq is not a good defender

Perry Pitts kobe did his share dont believe the media cause of '04

Kobe haters will say any bs to discredit him.

Christian James Stg. I was dreading scrolling thru thia comment section bc I just knew I was gonna come across Kobe hate. Honestly ever since Kobe retired he's been getting an ungodly amount of hate.. mainly fueled by Bronsexuals

Kobe balled out for sure. But make no mistake, he balled out because he has the most dominant center of all time on his squad as well. It’s an entirely different dynamo when you have such a dominant big man down below. Perimeter lanes open up much more because the defense is dbl’ing down on Shaq which creates plenty of space for slicing to the basket and swinging the ball. Despite the dbl teams and Kobe’s performances , Shaq still won the Finals MVPs. Not gonna lie, although I have no way to prove it, I believe Shaq winning those Finals MVPs bothered Kobe.

@@andregant9980 how is there more space to get to the paint when shaq is there. I don't think you get how a center that doesn't stretch the floor works. Perfect example was how kobe dominated the spurs series when Duncan and Robinson were in the paint, Shaq clearly struggled against them. Kobe always performed in those WCF battles and if you know basketball you know those were the real finals because the east was a cake walk.

Candy Man Kobe was much better than Allen iverosn

No he wasn't check the stats.

Axel Minani hell no

Candy Man you check the stats he one mvp for gosh sake

@kkeshon79 who u talking bout won MVP

W

that cause a lot of people hate on kobe don't know why

Dello Dell Its not hate I don't hate the guy at all just had more respect for players that had their own game which Kobe did not (MJ)and his teams were always stack cause lets b real his first three was because of how much of a beast Shaq was but some people act like he won them on his own

Bama22 Lol chill dude it ain't that serious lol it's crazy how other dudes get salty when u speak on their hero

Bama22 Lol

MC CABE Lebron >

but he isn't and he's not

yes thats obvious, we know that

+john m No trying to be rude but that's stupid lol. If Iverson was 6'6" he wouldn't have the same speed/skill that he has at 6'0". He would be a different player.

Why not?? probably a bit less faster, but skill I dont think so

+john m if he was 6'6" he wouldn't of been as quick and wouldn't of had that sick crossover

Pretty big ass "if" there, eh?

trebledc Remove Shaq and the Lakers would have cap space for another top center or 2 other very good players. Kobe would then assume the game by himself and win it anyways because, well, as great as Iverson was, he was no Kobe.

Phil C3 Yeah right.

Phil C3 Here is a candy.

trebledc u can say that but at the end of the day kobe at his best is way better than iverson and kobe is the only player anybody really compares to jordan think about it kobe won two rings without shaq and shaq only won one without kobe and he had d wade a hall of famer and How many rings does iverson have none kobe better period

Rethink that lol

He prime He Young He can shoot and penentrate etc

So ignorant

Matthew Logan nah

Matthew Logan how if lakers beat them to the points. dumass

+Maribel Lemus What?
