Almost Answered" documents the unforgettable determination and drive of the 2001 Philadelphia 76ers. The 76ers eventually lost. Yet they remain beloved in a city that almost never loves losers. Led by the league's most controversial star -- NBA MVP Allen Iverson - and coached by the irascible Larry Brown, the 76ers cobbled together a journey basketball fans will never forget. "Almost Answered" features interviews, highlights and unbelievable archival footage shining a well-deserved spotlight on this memorable bunch. Narrated by local rock and roll star G Love, "Almost Answered" is a story that won't soon be forgotten.
Almost Answered is an hour long documentary about the 2000-2001 Eastern Conference Champion Sixers that’s worth watching if you like basketball and a must watch for any 76ers or Allen Iverson fan.
It features interview with Iverson, Larry Brown, Pat Croce, Mutombo and Aaron McKie with narration by native rock star G Love of the G Love and Special Sauce (who had a song in the 90s called ‘Basketball’ that ended up on a lot of hoop montages back then).
As long as I am still alive, I will keep sharing AI videos!!!
Hold this W my friend.
THANKS BRO, WE LOVE YOU, Upload some video from 2005, 2006 SEASON
I been a 76ers fan since 96 and I'm only 24 u bring me back to the old days so much man lol I really appreciate your uploads sir
.....lol for real man
keep em coming. I love your channel bro!
Allen Iverson is and forever will be a Legend💪💯👊 Best pound for pound player of the NBA ever
ivenson was semi elite but the #1 overall best small player is was + will be jerry west
Mr A I was the ultimate killer that young Brother to me for His size and heart is the greatest we will see ever thank you for the greatest showman ever it has been a pleasure and truly I thank God for living and witnessing your talent Love You Brother we need a person like you now we would take it all Embid and you Harden no one could stop y'all Truly I respect and Love You Brother
pound for pound he had talent but didn't play a team game too much of a ball hog, Weak on defense, IMO best ever small player Nate Archibald.
@@brodocbetty4856you don’t lead the league in steals by being a weak defender. 🤔
@@youtuber3328semi elite? Have you seen a game? MVPs are elite players.
Outside of Michael Jordan, no player ever made me vibrate more than Allen Iverson. And nobody ever came close.
Megadrive I hear what your. Saying. But you. Can't forget Kobe I am Celtics fan and I know this
kobe is a legend also cant argue but i must say their will never be 1.83 cm height player like Al
yeah , but Jordan relished practicing. he went all out! you cant say that about iverson.
I agree kobe was my favorite player but AI was so influential in terms of style and ball handling
he may not be the best ever, but i will never enjoy watching and cheering for someone more than this guy
the goats tied literally always have and will be wilt chamberlain and bill russell
If Sixers ran into anyone else beside lakers Allen Iverson would have a ring
totally agree if we played anybody else that year idc who it was the kings the spurs the blazers don't matter we definitely win a ring but man SHAQ was jus too much for us lol
@TheBestFighter nah dude AI was a loyal guy
Spurs would have stopped them.
1920s spurs had no one to stop Iverson and I thought mutumbo was the most over rated player maybe ever he was supposed to be one of not the best defensive center but look what shaq did to him in the finals but saying that mutumbo could have restrained the spurs bigs alot better than he did shaq and most of the 76ers Lakers games was very close no team beat the Lakers in the playoffs that year but the 76ers they would have dismantled any other team in the West The reason Iverson doesn't have a ring is 1 word Shaq that's it from 96-06 kobe couldn't carry Iversons gym bag there was no gaurd or no player like him
1920s imagine if that man actually put in work every summer like LeBron like kobe like Jordan Iverson had more natural talent than any player to ever play and didn't even scratch his potential and he still was one of the best to do it if he worked hard in between or played in today's game where u can't put your finger on a player Iverson would be putting up 40+ a night easy the beasts in the paint back then and when fouls was alot more rare he still put up 30-35 a night and got to the line more than anyone what would he do against these non paint big men who shoots jumpers and stretches the floor today's game is built on 3 point shooting fast breaks speed and slashing which is every strength he had give respect where it's due
Allen Iverson is an epitome of "Do not judge a book by its cover". No one has such amazing athletic talents in recent history-not even MJ.
THE ANSW3R.... so blessed to see him almost everyday in hampton..signed my jersey and gave me snapbacks with his signature😊😊😊... shout out to pete one of his bestfriend😊😊😊
It was a great ride. It gives me chills to watch this! A.I. the GOAT! Played through injuries and played like it was his last game every night.
Pound for pound he's the greatest I've ever seen.I wish he was still playing.the 76er's were definitely fun to watch back then.
1:09 “we got him out of the YMCA in Miami” lol about to hit the rec to get a 10 day contract
Iverson is the 2pac of the NBA. living legend
This Is Epic more like Biggie because he wasn't Fake
Gillatine King ..... pac was fake??? U need help bud
Hell yeah both Pac n AI the realest ever!
Gillatine King You're right- both careers were taken away over nonsense. Everybody knows that AI was still AI when he was traded from Denver....
Amen, I thought the same thing about AI and Tupac- icons.
I remember watching this! Second favorite AI documentary to the recent one on Netflix
The funniest most delirious comment I ever heard was when Larry Brown says “we knew Mutombo could physically play with Shaq.” Bro, WTF??? Lmao Shaq always abused that man. It was so bad I remember donating to Mutombo’s charity.
😂😂😂
You know what Allen Iverson was one of the true greats. I wish you'd come back please play two more seasons with the Sixers they have a pretty good lineup this year so I wish Allen Iverson would come back for at least two seasons that's me those are my comments if you don't like them that's your problem
He's way too old lol
If Devin Booker can put up 70 in today's game imagine what this man would do to the league today and if he actually did work on his game like every player does he would be considered the best to ever play not one of the best he would get you 40-50 each night he was scoring 30-35 in a league where contact was allowed and centers like shaq was guarding the paint
One of my favorite NBA Teams Ever! Great Videos.
that oldschool all star games when players actually play and not just mess around lol.
thank you man. you are the only person that loves Allen Iverson more than i do that i know of.
He needed big Shaq and that would have been 10 championships in a row.
Allen Iverson: A Mercurial superstar
now a hall of famer
If iverson went to the pistons back in his prime that would have been awesome for me
One of my Favorite Player its not all about height My Man always give all all his best and played every games as its his last the pound for pound and the player who change the role of a point guard from a playmaker to a treat deadly scorer of his era ....
The beauty of basketball
Still hurt. Watching AI put his heart, blood, and tear to the game and still lost to the Monterous Giants. But his image will never fade
it would of be easy for Iverson to say fuck that I can't beat shaq n Kobe so I'm going to play with them smh.......this new shit going on in the nba is fucking pathetic no competitive balance nobody wants to get it on they own....I miss the good all days when it jus one or two guys carrying a franchise with key role players I don't honestly wanna see the warriors vs the Cavs in the finals for the next 5 years
More like LeBron Vs The warriors
Pat Croce is one of succesfull man that has persona too.
Allen Iverson, the Maradona, Brazilian Ronaldo and Ronaldindho of Basketball! If only he put enough hard work and determination... GOAT, for me, regardless! My childhood idol, apart from Jordan, ofcourse. Love from Little Bhutan❤❤❤
Thanks man ai is simply the best
Even if this they still soundbited him on the "practice" press conference--if you listen to the full 30 minutes his best friend had just died and he was speaking a lot of truth
Mutombo was a key player to help the sixer reach the finals, great player very underrated in my book... The 2000/01 Sixers weren't the top team or the team with stacked of talents but it was a solid team no doubt but with more heavy load on AI but Mutombo, Mackie and Snow where great contributors to reach to the finals
That raptors and sixers series was epic two superstars going at it
loved to play with this guy on every game system
kevin Hart
kevin Hart
damn. if he out in the work that Kobe and Bron puts in.... GOAT
you doing a good job@ pennyccw i follow every ai video you post. im the biggest ai fan there is, and i argue till this day how great of a player he was. great
the cross over changed basketball and changed the world
Anyone that has negative comments about AI or thinks he's arrogant should watch his documentary on Netflix and try to understand his upbringing. He had no one to guide him, no one that he knew loved him and that he could look to when he was a kid. Put yourself in his shoes and you'll question how he even made it to middle school. This man is a champion of life, we'll always love AI. Philly Proud
Chris Reed I've watched his Netflix movie and that's not true. he was a victim of this fucked up American justice system and overcame it. he had people that lived and guided him. how tf did you watch it and miss the coach that took him in as his own and his mother. poverty does not equal love and guidance
Traci Johnson that coach wasn’t in his life until high school. Did you see his white friend that calls him bubba chuck and his mom talking about how she would cook for him sometimes? He was fending for himself when he was a little kid. Saying his mom never watched him play and that he would go get his friend at 7am and hit the courts. You should watch it again and ask yourself how different your upbringing was..
whats it called?
@@chriscc14 Iverson
keep them vids coming bro..! a.i. is a fucking legend..!i watched the 2001 finals live as a 13year old in germany..best night ever :)
Dope👍
Iverson responding to a sweep-I'm glad nobody bet their life on it...cuz they be dead right now" lol haha
eric snow was an elite defender
The Goat
AI. if he had a Super team he would of won a championship. But back then I loved watching NBA games when Jordan and Iverson and Shaq were playing cause back then they played The Star A batman and Robin you would love to watch games now you got Super Teams then Super Super Teams with triger happy 3 point shooting freaks the games today suck
It was a 4-1 series victory by the Lakers.. but the 76ers made them work for every victory.. they were in every game til end with exception of game 5 when wear and tear of a grueling playoff run finally caught up to them
shame he never won a ring. or Olympics gold
it was a travesty that Iverson wasn't invited back to the olympics him and duncan were the only 2 players who gave a fuck the year they took home the bronze.
Todd Morrow well said bro they could have found space for Iverson I gather Duncan was not a fan of fiba rules
no but he still suited up and gave a fuck
ian laing The one time team USA didn't get the gold in recent history
jeramyt96 It was disappointing for AI and Duncan two of my favourites
the king faxxxx
22:30 Jueeeeelllz
AI is the GREATEST PG! from AUSTRALIA
Jc Jin he's from AUSTRALIA LOL
1 Luv AI...1 Luv
Wow 👌
I Always Wished Larry Brown Left!! ✌🏾
A.I was that dude was a Live PlayStation in his day. 3rd best SG ever Wade couldn't last a series with A.I
i like those two but the best shooting guards ever are #1 michael jordan #2 kc jones and #3 hal greer
@@youtuber3328 tf are #2 and #3
@@spikespiegel6997 yeah and sometimes pete maravich jerry west and oscar robertson are listed as point guards
Imagine how truly great he could have been if he had even try to take care of his body
After AI.. Sixers went on "believing in the process." lol!
16:32 Mutombo spittin some fire, but still got nothing on Mr. uvuvwevwevwe onyetenyevwe ugwemubwem ossas.
If i hva ha baby boy i want to play and study the game of A.I.he crossover is sick..and style of the game...
People keep talking about rings and how he didnt get one............that nba ring means nothing. If this man isnt a champion Ive never seen one........wore his heart on his sleeve, sacrificed, gave it all he had every night, loved his true friends and fam, the fans........no ring made by man can measure up to the heart of a champion
that 6ers team was better than people give it credit for..they won with d....they were a team...dpoy 6th man coach of the year mvp..thats rare to happen all in one season in fact it never does...sure they were better before the dikembe trade but who knows if they hadn't made it how they would of finished in the regular season with theos injury...they needed home court in the semis and east finals for game 7 so...they were 41-14 ...toni and theo would of been better than just dikembe in a series imo on offense...
One of the illest / raw teams at that time. 2001 76ers. The most stunning thing about this is the fact they said if only Iverson continued to improve his game...what would have become of him? Possibly a championship? Both Kobe & Jordan as great as they were always worked on their game. After Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Lakers...it was clear that the 76ers was losing some gas knowing they ran through & fought 7 games against the Eastern teams. Like what Larry Brown said...if they were extremely healthy...it would've been a good match to see them fight game for game through that series. So it would've been something great to witness the following year have everyone healthy with Iverson improving his game & try to slay that all star Lakers.
Penny Is love
to be honest I was for the lakers but years later after finding out more about Iverson I wish the sixers won. the lakers where more known to me since I live in California so I didn't know too much about the sixers at that time.
4:36-4:41 why AI is goat💯
Penny what would we do without you??
Paul Pierce and Pistol Pete are my two favorite players ever. But next up on the list is Isiah Thomas (Pistons) and Allen Iverson. Nobody can ever score for a guy his size the way AI can. How dare ESPN ranked Iverson #46? It is straight blasphemy and disrespectful.
He the reason I use to watch basketball him an Jordan once iverson left the league I stop watching it
They needed 2 stars. They never got him that. Tell me the last time 1 star carried a team. Maybe Dallas with Dirk.
That Pat Croce quote spoke volumes. Yea He was quick and fast and athletic. And could score and al that...But the Man never worked on his Game. So true I'm always gonna wonder how great would he have truly been. If he blessed with a MJ or Kobe Work ethic?...
If that shot went in AI wouldn't never carried his team to the finals nor drop 48 points on the Lakers, even if that were case he would still be a legend in my book, one of the best to ever do it.
If you read Slam Dunk the comic, Game 1 was the game that Shohoku beat Sannoh
bubba chuck salute.
Last 4 mins was fucking hilarious 😂 😂😂😂😂😂
I swore they were going to bring Ratliff bag in the off season, he was a free agent. At the PF with Mutumbo @C. We would really a another shot the next season. The A.I. era we needed a big PG like Kidd, Tracey McGrady or Penny. Should of used Aaron as starting PG
Also it seems like alot of people have short term memory when they say kobe Bryant is top 3 if not the greatest to play in there primes from 96-2006 Even till 08 when kobe was 18-29 Iverson was 20-31 years old kobe couldn't even carry his gym bag and whoever disagrees watch kobe videos of him saying he hated Iverson because he was to good and how he couldn't stop him a 6'7 gaurd in a league where contact was allowed alot more couldn't contain a 6 foot 165 pd man it just shows how much natural abilities he had there hasn't been or never will be another player with not natural talent the guy never once worked on his craft or game he done what he done by just playing in games Imagine if a boxer or mma fighter was in the hall of fame and considered one of the greatest fighters ever like mayweather pacquio Silva and they never trained for any fight just went in and dominated it's insane to think about and that's what he done
my top 5 Jordan ai Kobe melo bron
Phillip Mccarroll melo😂😂😂😂
Still hate it to this day he didn't get the ring this year.
It's crazy how both seasons in 01 nd 19 were similar in the playoffs. Example both teams faced each other in the same 2nd round nd it also came down to 1 Final Shot but kawhi with raptors made it nd advanced into da ECF nd had to face A Similar Team The Bucks and the 76ers beat da bucks just like da raptors did. Nd finals both team 76ers n raptors had to play a Californian team. Toronto advanced nd they won the finals, but the 76ers lost the finals smh. If Vince Carter would have made that final shot then it would go down just like kawhis shot as the worst feeling for the 76ers
That 2001 Eastern conference title was our ch'ip
The man known as The Answer turns 46 today 6-7-75!!!!!
Would have been amazing
What song starts in 36:58 ??
AI 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
listen and share how allen iverson feel about mayweather on song called tone bounce
NO 1080p or 4K?
Looks like Georgetown vs UCONN. A.I vs Ray Allen
if allen iverson hasca teamate who can match shaq..there a chance
"They surrounded him with bums " it won't ever b another period
38:04 Max Payne Theme
people on here slick dissin KD
Ai was the best out with f him and Kobe but Shaq was the biggest difference maker
AI still doesn't get his due...Embid one of the best but, cant get out 2nd rd...AI absolutely carried team to finals.
Im a spurs fan 4 life but if im goin to choose just 1 player it would be Ai...
What the hell is mutumbo name is again
Motumbo had zero help side defense. Zero.
teammates probably worried about Kobe fisher fox and Harry draining a bunch of threes. Lakers tough to stop back then
Mutumbo IS WHY THE SIXERS FOLDED 0-4 IN GAMES 2 THRU 5 IN THE FINALS! THAT CHUMP GOT USED BY SHAQ!!! Theo Ratliff wouldn't have put up with it and I seriously think the Sixers win that series in 6 had Ratliff not broken his thumb
Kuoc was with the Sixers??!!!!@2:28. who come back from 20 down in a NBA All-star game now a days??!!!! The epitome of a rocker step text book style on Kobe (Mister) @ 31:55. Funny thing is that though the Sixers got the first game in L.A they STILL GOT SWEPT~4 STRAIGHT!!!
Funny thing is you apparently don't understand the meaning of what a sweep is.
Thats not what swept means bruh
@@spikespiegel6997 they definitely still refer to that as a sweep 💯
Is it true that he signed a one year deal with the cavs
No
no
Penny is life
18:46 did the coach just sit on AI lap
Yes
i somewhat like allen iverson
More guards and big man from Africa
Nobody fit philly better than AI
If the Sixers had gotten Chris Webber in his prime, they'd both have a ring.
MJ is best player, but AI is 2nd and goat in everything, nobody has or will have the heart of AI and accomplish what he did, like Kobe or Shaq said thank god he wasnt 6ft 4 and made Kobe study Sharks after dropping 48 on him
