Philadelphia had literally no chance to win this series but boy was this one of the all time great performances in nba finals history.
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.
Everybody talking about how Lue got embarrassed, AI was serving Kobe most of the game. That's what happens when you get your opinion from highlights
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!
Allen Iverson in this series is literally my player in nba2k. No business being in the finals but one guy carrying the whole city 🤣🤣
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't tell you how much of a gift he was to the NBA. I was a Lakers fan, but somewhere near halftime I just stopped rooting for LA and just watched this magnificent performance. He roasted Kobe in this game, every shot all net. He had so much heart. Man I loved watching AI play.
AI is the reason Kobe lost all his hair lmao
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. 😁
That man came through so much adversity bro and even in the league they wanted him out he changed the game in many ways he's a goat 🐐
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.
👑🐐
This is probably the greatest single player performance in NBA finals history, all things considered.
LeBron James 2018 finals game 1
Wade 2006
@@skatei naw..
100%.
@@skatei really wish he got that dub, would’ve been number 1 for sure
7:34 - "ya cooled off because of the defense from tyron lue" iverson: smiles lol
"He was holding me the whole time!!"
Cuz he just kept fouling AI the whole time
the emotion I went thru in this game as a lil kid.......my dad and his homies all rooting for lakers and then just me rooting for sixers ....didnt realize then lakers were 2 strong for the sixers cuz I thought iverson would overcome anything.
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
Kids.. If y’all ever want to know the full essence of iverson watch this game start to finish. It defines him as a killer scorer, as a fighter and clutchness. This dude was all heart… y’all rarely see that today and that sucks
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.
That stepover was SAVAGE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Got that step over and the mj crossover reel lol
Gotta feel for Ty Lue, so disrespected that it’s still being talked about almost 20 years later hahaha
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.
Almost every shot from Iverson is a swish.
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 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Kobe was getting COOKED!
@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
He was holding me the whole time! 🔥 And Ima die hard Laker fan.
Lol 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
That's my favorite player off all time in all sports. Nobody played harder or was tougher
Chris Santosusso facts
NBA 80's and 90's
montel sprinkle fax
Westbrook plays much harder
Matthew Moskal non he doesn't
Lakers swept every series up to this game. One of the best teams in NBA history, and AI took it to them! 🔥💯
Allen is such a legend. He just took the hardest path.
All I can say is, "Nigga pleassssse!" Killed them!
“He was holding me the whole time” lol A.I carried tht dam team
Iverson claimed at the end that Lou was holding him the entire time which is likely the reason he stepped over the dude 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
Man i miss this Jerseys
Yeah their 🔥
@@hyl2735 Just say 'fire'. No need for bullshit high school girl emojis.
that step over T lue was so iconic
Best player under 6'4 in nba history 💯.. don't @ me
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
*Eric Snow* & *Aaron McKie* really played their assist & defensive roles perfectly when it came down to supporting the team's star player such as *AI.*
Iverson was amazing, he just so small he had to work so hard, its crazy how he schooling Kobe and the best team in the league, this aint some lousy team that he lighting up.
I'm still a Bulls fan, but those years after Jordans retirement 2000-05 I was a 76ers/Iverson fan. That's the first and only time I rooted for a team because of a player. Iverson had so much heart & was small compared to his competition, but he went out in the blazes of glory and I respected that lol.
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.
Remember this game like its yesterday... classic performance from a hell of a player
Pound for pound on the biggest stage against the greatest odds perhaps the best single performance by a player in NBA history. Thee Answer.
I'm Philly born and raised. Diehard Sixers fan my whole life. My dad the same. I was 21 watching this. Still one of the best days of my life period
Allen Iverson made you believe he could overcome anything! He was unstoppable. He was a GOAT in his position.
6:38 is the moment your looking for
Legend
Now I know why he didn’t need practice
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
Allen iverson straight owned kobe this game
Damn Philly didn't have no one. Imagine him being with the Philly team of 2020 they would win the East for sure.
Now imagine him wit Embiid, Harden & Maxey tho.....
@@vodoumyers I'm feeling that.
Ppl forget just how good and dominate Iverson was this is what you call willing your team to the Finals and making things happen with less talent everybody always says Lebron took bums to the Finals who the hell was a top 50 player Iverson played with Mutombo was old asf at this time so he don't count Iverson was that dude one of my favorite players, my lil brother God rest his soul use to Model his game after A.I.
I don't know why but I was so hyped up while watching this,I mean a 6 ft guy going nuts and cooked an all star team all by his own.
Its been 19 years and one of the best games in the NBA finals
Until one fateful June night in 2016.....lmfaooooooo Biggest choke act in professional sports history. Period.
Single Greatest NBA performance of all time.
7:37 “he was holding me the whole time” That’s why he stepped over lue 😂
Back when T Lue was wearing braids 👀👀
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
Lakers were undefeated in the playoffs until this game. Legendary performance by AI.
And Iverson's 76ers played 3 straight 7 game series coming in
AI had tremendous stamina as well as speed and skill. I remember watching a regular-season game, and I was so impressed by his speed on defense. He ran across the court as fast as a pass almost. He didn't reach the ball to steal it but knocked it away. The audience gave him a standing ovation. He was the fastest man on the court for the longest period of the game that I have seen. I surely miss effort on defense today. The Lakers had stints last season, but they did not sustain the AI level of effort on defense.
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.
Jumper was wet 🏀
KILLER, LEGEND, GREATNESS
The crossover of the ages
Great player for his size and a fearless player. However, after watching these highlights I’m surprised how many long 2 point jumpshot NBA scorers took back then including Iverson, Kobe, Carmelo, Wade. NBA has been transformed by the three point shot and Warriors changed the style of the NBA
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*
grand master of changing directions and creating space. one of the greatest
Laker fan all my life. This one of those games I'll never forget. I was so mad at this game, I literally was speechless. When AI stepped over Ty Lue, I was down bad 😂😂 I remember my dad was like "relax, it's just game 1"
U gotta understand certain people are different and shouldn't be underestimated and know when hard work pays off
Damn AI timing was impeccable, he made those layups on Shaq look easy
Love The Answer. His 3 years on the nuggets is probably the only reason I’m even a basketball fan today.
Imagine if T-Mac was on this team with A.I 🥶🥶🥶🥶
I remember watching this game, i wanted 76ers to win whole thing like never
What a performance. One of teh greatest. Dude was so fast and smooth and considering the height and weight advantage of his opponents, he torn them up.
Lebron fans who think his carry job 2007 was unrivaled, THIS man was virtually alone and facing Shaq and Kobe. Unreal performance.
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
All time favorite game🙌🏼🔥
Best finals performance ever
Wade 2006
The good ol days. NBA on NBC. Tuesdays, wednesdays and Thursdays. Tuesdays, wednesdays and Thursdays Tuesdays, wednesdays and Thursdays on TNT
We should start a petition to bring NBA on NBC back?
this game is why i start to watch NBA
Truly the answer
That crossover daaangg
As a Laker fan, I hated AI after this game for ruining the perfect run, but still respected the dude for what he was able to accomplish out there
Log you never seen this game growing up gratefully I did, the moment he say “Allen Iverson on fire” it sets in that you are on the verge of seeing one the the greatest performances in NBA history plus one of the best players to ever play the game. 757 stand up. I was born in Richmond but did most of my Virginia years in Badnews (Newport News)! Salute Bubba Chuck 💯💯
fav player for life
I was nine when this game was played and I was so sad when Philly lost cause Allen iverson was and always has been my favorite player I had the braids the shoes the jersey in ever color the only more memorable moment is when he came to Detroit I was definitely court side for his first home game
So yall saying this guy aint a top 50 player? My god
ESPN has him at #29 all time
Top 20!
I say 3rd greatest SG of all time.
@@haqq1 nope wade is 3rd
This game gave me high blood pressure and 16 anxiety attacks, we had no chance but A.I carried us thru the whole playoffs and coming off a 40plus point game to get the Bucks outta here and give the Lakera their only loss in the whole playoffs. A.I is my goat and people can sat Curry is better but no little man can get big in that paint like my boy man
BRYANT ATE THE DUST LIKE NEVER BEFORE AND LATER......Iverson is one of the best in a head to head, everyone was afraid of him in a one to one.
My favorite player of any sport. And I love football more. But man this was my idol coming up. This man went hard every play
Greatest point guard of all time sad never taste nba championship
6:39 Godlevel crossover everyone came for
damn as soon as the video start im like DAMN SHAQ he taking a nap in the paint xD
😂😂
I come back to these highlights on a regular basis & I will continue to as long as I have the mind to do so.
Love Iverson
The epic step over. lol
Iverson out there wit a bunch of role players even Snow was a role player and gave the entire lakers wit a prime Shaq a 43 piece with no sauces in the bag sheesh
the ty lue step over was one of the best moments and ai was one of the best players of all time.
That step over though 🔥
This not practice, this is a game. No need to talk about practice
His jumpshot was so beautiful.
That guy deserves a salute.
My Greatest Idol Til I Die 🏀 AI3
Just like D Rose. Iverson had no help.
Allen is forever a legend 3
This is still my favorite NBA game of all time
i honestly think that the Crossover Iverson did is the most disrespectful moment in NBA History
AI crossover is so Icon and nasty by the legend iverson
If you notice iverson was taking a lot of hits and was still scoring on the lakers and didn’t complain it once on getting a foul
This is GREATNESS
AI was really that dude 🔥🔥🔥
2:52. That is unreal.
Lakers fan and Iverson fan. This one of the best performances I remember watching growing up.
Big man Allen Iverson
SPECIAL. The look in his eyes, the whole game. That is a man in THE zone. No regard for human life whilst also being the smallest man on the court. I love AI man, this right here is the best individual performance in a finals game for me. Forget Lou anyone that jab steps on kobe for an inch and pops it in his face is bold. He really gave kobe the work that night, right in his mout like 5 times. Kobe prolly used it as fuel for the next 4 games tho, the mamba never got out worked. (Im a bit young for jordan but I saw the last dance lol, he is goated.) AI is the pound for pound goat tho, NON DEBATABLE. That title is his. idgaf. if u seen every single game u would agree
if only ai had his own shaq
Yeah Bubba Chuck!!!!!!!!!!! One of his greatest games ever!!!
My first time watching nba games ever in my life was this this game. I admire AI ever since
Shaq made 44 points and 20 rebs on this match, one of the most underrated finals performance lol
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
This game made me a huge AI fan. Played with so my heart and was relentless. And yeah, people forget he used to give Kobe the business
ONE OF THE 🐐s
This dude knows he will be a superstar. He even proclaim it in an interview.
