people argue over Shaq and Kobe carrying each other, meanwhile AI carried the whole team
2001 Iverson MVP, Shaq 3rd. Iverson scoring leader, Shaq 2nd, Kobe 3rd
Dikembe dpoy had coach of the year, and a top 10 defense. Idk about carried
@@sirm.a.r.s4640 that man was old this year
Dikembe was like 35 with a broken finger he was not a factor in this finals series.. Shaq averaged like 36 ppg
Aaron Castle wth? Al carried all of them. None were all stars besides AI
Ai changed the NBA the way he play. He's the new generation of basketball during that time
Men.. A.I in his heyday, the swag, the crossover, the sleeves, the smug face when he hits jumpers. Forget about the practice.. A.I legend
don't forget his cornrows, baggy pants and those Sixers jerseys with stars in the front fits Iverson's style to perfection.
Iverson had an unusual dribbling style in those years. Smooth, amplitude crossovers, interesting ball transfers. He seems to be floating on the platform. Jordan also stood out for his style. Iverson is the beginning of creativity in the NBA.
That 76rs team had no business in the finals that year. Let alone win a game in its. AI was a fearless beast with the franchise on this back.
Iverson was Unconscious this game 🔥
That step over Ty Lue lmao. Legendary moment
Lebron was stepping over him while he was coaching too lol
This video is missing all of the footage of Tyronn Lue completely shutting down Iverson defensively. That was what was so amazing about this game, For the first 30 minutes Iverson was absolutely unguardable, scored 38 points with ease, and then Lue came in, and suddenly Iverson couldn't even get a shot off. The Sixers couldn't even get the guy the ball out of a set play. It was amazing how the game just changed in the blink of an eye once Lue came into the game. It seemed like Iverson was just totally dead. But his teammates were able to hang around just long enough, and then in the final minute of overtime, it all just went completely right for Iverson again. Iverson shedding Lue off his shoe like a piece of gum is still to me the most incredible singular basketball moment of the 2000s, it was one of those things where you never forgot where you were when you watched it live
Stepping over Lue...over-hyped. FAR more made of it because of commentator/media hype than it deserved. What people never mention about game 1 vs. the Sixers is that because the Lakers ran the table on every team they played, swept them...they had a LONG layover waiting for game 1. They lost their rhythm and their momentum. I believe it was about a 10 day layover.
Isn't it a bit overrated ?
It's weird how that seems to the AI's 'moment.' Lue actually defended the play well. He just fell after jumping and watching the ball. At the end of regulation, Lue absolutely denied AI the ball, but no one remembers that.
AI was really a legend. For his size, he won mvp and can carry a team into the playoffs/finals. He was the reason why the lakers were 15-1 in this playoffs. He also averaged 30 a season multiple times.
He actually averaged over 30 ppg 5 seasons and averaged 30 in the playoffs for his career.. There will never be another player like him who could score the way he did at that size
Amen
What about Mutombo...he is great but was just dominated by Shaq
He also took an insane amount of shots. He was very inefficient.
AI could bank it off the glass at any angle for some reason it was near impossible to block AI even though he was barely 6 ft, a video of all AI's crazy difficult layups and tear drops he made look routine would last hours
Did you notice AI didn't hit the rim once??? All net on every shot
It did
His first two shots weren’t even all net lol
It's called art.
This was rare af because dude was SUPER inefficient over his career. He was a brick machine
@@chiarosuburekeni9325 I know but God he was a savage
"And he STEPS OVER Tyronne Lue!!"... pure savage..gotta love Marv Albert
Watched this live on tv..good game. Shaq being a beast as always and AI just being the answer.
@JASON QUINONES i recorded games on there, yes i did watch it.
Allen Iverson showing he was the Best in these years. He was MVP and I remember me watching that game when he was facing Tim Ducan, Jordan, Bryant, Tracy mackgradi, Vince carter, Rey Allen, Jason Kid, Shaq and winning over them all. Iverson is my favorite ever in NBA
Respect
And that's why Allen Iverson is in the hall of fame because he was an outstanding point guard
NBA didn't want to put him in, stern hated Iverson
@@GeronimoLogistics Stern was an idiot
Well he was a SG on this roster
AI was a KILLER! No Fear!
Yeah no fear at all haha
When you can literally see Allen's heart on out on his sleeve man...
He FOUGHT for this
Completely in the zone nothing could take him out.
Shaq just dunked on everybody the whole game😂
Lol
The only thing you could do is foul him lol
MAT-A-TAK he was just a bully with no skill set...He weighed 340 who’s gonna stop him other than when he met his match “The Dream “Olajuwon!!!! cuz he got embarrassed and ran to LA!
damn sho did...😂😂😂
Ernest Lester He was a baby when he matched up with Olajuwon. No skill set?? He had a deadly dropstep, good handles for his size, had a sweet jump hook & was so athletic that he could yam it on ANYONE. I’d love to see Prime Hakeem try to deal with ‘01 Prime Shaq, he’d get dominated just like the rest
I think this is my favorite game in NBA history.
Drew K NBA final 1998 game 6
Shaq was so dominate in the paint.
But A.I was just unstoppable.
That year Iverson beat Ray Allen, Reggie Miller and Vince carter to get to the finals and win game 1 against one of the best teams in NBA history! By himself frinking GOAT man! 3👑
goat? his biggest claim to fame is his team beating the Lakers for 1 game. hes alright.
Mutombo and Matt Geiger was straight up barbecue chicken.
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
extraaaa crispy lol
Forreal
You absolutely expect Matt Geiger to be BBQ for Shaq, but Mutumbo was one of the greatest defensive centers to ever play the game and a future HOF based almost completely on what he did on the defensive end. It's goes to show how dominant Shaq really was at his peak. He basically dismantled David Robinson and young Tim Duncan the series before.
There is no one who says "Shaquille O'Neal" better than this commentator
i even read it with his voice hahahahahah
that's a legend...Marv Albert!
Iverson, Stockton, and Malone; 3 players who deserved to win at least one championship in their careers. Iverson a 1-Man show for; a lot of fun to see a player barely 6' dominate a game like that.
That putback slam by Shaq before halftime 😫🤦♂️💯💯 DAMN THAT WAS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
omgitzray...When big guys slam it’s not impressive because they’re suppose too...Someone like Shaq was ginormous so the amount of shots that he missed at point blank range is disturbing.
@J Dee Carter lol
J Dee Carter 😂
I have a feeling that nba at that time was more competitive than now. Kobe, iverson, tracy, Mcgrady, Fisher, Hamilton, Vince carter, Ray allen, Motumbo, Tim duncun, Shaq, Webber, Kevin Garnet, Jason Kid, Robin Williams, Steve nash,......
Miller, Payton, Malone, hard away, Garnet and many. More all teams then has one great player.
Not to mention the fact that, the players were spread around the league making the whole league stronger.
You didn't just have six teams with all the great stars on them, or all the superstars lobbying to play with one another so that they can win Chips!
Back then, Definitely more Competitive!
Players were more fundamentally sound, and back then Certainly more College experience and "You Didn't Get Paid Until You Proved Your Worth"!
Overall a much, much better era of basketball...
The Golden Age was early 90s to mid 2000s
Commentators tends to not get any props but u gotta love Marv Albert commentary... still the best up to this day.
Gary Samuels not better than Stacey king 👑 🤴🏾 though
And the game before this A.I dropped 44 , 7 and 6 in the Eastern Conference Finals Game 7
Yep, against Vince Carter. That was a battle. Vince had a young Tracy McGrady and A.I. had Larry Brown Hall of Fame coach. A.I. was clutch like MJ. You just had to beat him and not give him a chance to win at the end. You needed a comfortable lead at the end of the game lol
jsn23nc that was against the Bucks lmao
Allen Iverson is underated and will never get the respect he deserves he dominated in his area when every team had a all-star but never had a team worst finals team ever absolutely no offensive help top 5 period was equal to shaq and kobe by himself just didn't have the team offensively
ray crowell no he didn’t dominated in his area AT ALL he dominated the lead for 2-3 years and fail off stop it get some help
@@102allenwalker Ur dumb Ai averaged 29ppg for a 10 year span when he was in Philly... That is dominating
Iverson had a highly developed game. He used his body to protect the ball as he drove and he had a super fast pull and and release jumper that he could get off with very little space. Dude could really ball. Pleasure to watch as well.
ALLEN IVERSON literally had no one you could see every time the sixers got the ball they were looking to past to IVERSON he truly is a LEGEND
nothing but respect to the guys who have to guard prime Shaq
We will not see a player like either of them ever
@JASON QUINONES today kids be like
it’s crazy how a 6 foot tall player carried his team to the finals
I seen AI play in person and trust me he isn't 6'0" . He's more like 5'10" which makes what he did on the court more astonishing and breathtaking
Yea stood next to him once and he’s 5’10” max
Also played with him in Virginia as a kid and got about 10-12 30 foot threes drained in my throat while face guarding him.
cmo12345 sure u did
Mike Conville 😂😂
Allen Iverson carrying and leading a team unlike KD.
KingKilla
KD carries okc for years in a loaded west way different situations AI didn’t have a teammate that was uncontrollable brick throwing low IQ Star that hurts your team chances of winning notice how him and curry mesh way better
Bron? Lmao 😂
@Brian Gore Lebron did compete for game 1 after that he was like not even trying which pissed me off 😡😡😡
Kd carried okc..he left because of Westbrick Statbrook..
@@angkurrongpi4910 he left because he's not an alpha
AI was in that group of players us Lakers fans feared & respected in the early 2000's along with Duncan, KG, McGrady & Allen.
Duncan especially
You better add the whole damn Sac Kings to that list. Pain in the ass team vs Lakers.
Having Shaq on your team is like a cheat code. Id feed it to him each and every possession. I dont know how he didnt average 70 points a game. This was really David vs Goliath. AI man what a player. Never have I seen a player that small do what he does. He did everything for Philly in that game. Its unfortunate that this was the best it would get. Just to pull this win off took everything.
Isaiah Thomas scored 25 points in a quarter, in a finals game, on an injured ankle. Finished with 43, against Magic, Worthy, Kareem, Cooper, etc.....1988 NBA Finals.......Lakers did win that game forcing a game 7 and won the 1988 NBA Championship, but Isaiah's heroic effort in that game rivals Iverson's here.
this literally never gets old. I remember watching this in my mom's living room as a teen. A.I. was EVERYTHING
tyron lue disliked the video
Best comment ever 😅
Emilios Powerballer lol 😆 😂 lmao
I like this more than original with just AI. Now it's showing David and Goliath trading blows.
@1:12 AI was like damn Mutombo you gone let Shaq cross you too? Lol
Officials allowed Shaq to do whatever he wanted. The worst called Finals ever. For the Sixers to have won this game was remarkable and shows exactly what kind of player AI was.
Kobe being a sidekick hahaha
I really miss this era
Shaq: If you control the rebound, you control the game.
Iverson: Hold my beer.
A.I the only player who really led a team of bums to the finals.
supercampeon
Facts if AI had a guy who can get 20-10 like Love this series could’ve went to 7 or maybe even win Prime AI was that Dude
TheButler DidIT Imagine iverson in the roster of the 76ers 2018-19
True. Also true .. the whole east was full of bums
The whole east was full of bums yet that stacked bucks team beat this lakers team both games during the regular season in 01 lol.. East wasn't trash they just didn't have the size the west did but the lakers swept every team in the playoffs that year so how good was the west really?
I rest my case
Imagine having shaq carry you on offense like that and have iverson light you up on defense lmaooooo
DwadeFL4SHMV3 Imagine it being 2019 and you still think Shaq carried Kobe
DwadeFL4SHMV3 🤦🏾♂️shaq didn’t carry him but sure ok I guess 25.6 ppg 6.4 assists 7.2 rebounds a years is called carrying now huh ...dumb ass niggas, you niggas need to all disappear
@@102allenwalkerwhat game did you ever watch. Kobe no showed this game like he did plenty of times.
These 3-6 mafia Bronsexuals are in rare form can't hold yo hate in lol & if Kobe is trash why in year 17 lebum blames still haven't passed him in scoring for someone who missed all his shots lol 🤣🤣🤣
@@Martin-pb3ym put yo pomp poms down yo sweet ass won't be doing no twerking on ni**as celebrating that Gump shit keep yo sugar sweet cinnamon ass in yo Lane wherever the fuck that is 💯
It's so satisfying to see Iverson play.
Whoa whoa what you saying?
He single handedly carried is to the finals. They said we would've been swept but AI shocked the world and gave us game 1. There will never be another AI
@Spaceman he wasn't on the team during those finals
hassan haulcy Mutombo was coming off a DPOY and rebounding leader season, McKie was decent and I believe over 40% from 3. Snow was good as well, and there were several other decent role players on the team. Mutombo was definitely a huge part of their success though.
Spaceman
L
Spaceman iggy didn’t exist in that year
Mutombo was like 34 that year n was no match for Shaq in this series so that's irrelevant.. Iverson clearly had to carry this team on offense if you watch every series if he didn't score at least 40 the sixers probably lost
The answer was a problem.
3:36 that would be a flagrant 2 in today’s NBA
I know right that’s 300 plus pounds hitting 6 foot guy *smh and he got up and shot his free throws. * salutes
Hell Yea in this soft ass league
so much more fun to watch than teams just chucking 3s 🤔
Man ppl juat don't give Shaq Diesel enough respect!
LeBron: thank God I didn't have to play against that Shaq 🏃
4 show
czcams.com/video/sVme5Qew7T4/video.html
AI's form is flawless
Jahniel Cenabre mas flawless ka naman
God A.I. was really cooking Kobe bruh 😭
ai was fuckin legendary man...i miss watchin him do his thing for sure
Surprised Iverson didn't break his back carrying his whole team
Nobody would stop him in today's NBA. The last guy to give shaq a hard time was Yao. Today's NBA centers are soft. Who cares if they can shoot threes???
Today’s centers aren’t “soft” but of course they wouldn’t be able to guard a prime Shaq lol. He’s a 7’1 athletic beast with the agility of a forward and great footwork
Yao Ming wasn't shit he was to soft & hurt all the time,, Dennis Rodman& Arbutus Sabonis gave him a tougher time..
@@makavelikastro7780you right he wasn’t shit. He also wasn’t luccy for the fact he had injuries.
Watched this live and what a great game. Super run by Philly that year. Watched every playoff game they were in.
i loved nba , these legends were filling my junior high school momentss
Como amo esto ❤ lo mejor que me pudo pasar iniciarme con el basket hace tantos años con la leyenda de Allen Iverson ..! Shak otra leyenda!
9:22 AI !! and the legend cross over
I remember that step over like yesterday man I'm getting old
Iverson 🐐 🐐 he was a game revolutioniser. He is the reason we are straying away from dunking and centre’s and now other positions have a better time to shine. Now you don’t have to be tall to play in the nba.
This version of Shaq kills any NBA center
Ashton The Great chill Shaq had a hard time guarding centers that could shoot he even admitted it himself on nba open court
ALLEN IVERSON "Heart of Champion" FOREV3R
I truly remember watching this game. I had to share a room with my sisters in a 2 bedroom apartment. Parents had 1 room & it was me & 2 older sisters. But my whole family is watching this game in our JVC 24 square inch TV with the antenna & Aluminum foil wrapped up in it. The TV was on channel 4 (NBA on NBC) but my sister purposely turned the volume on mute just so she can put the radio on the Lakers & rather than hearing the guys from the tv we heard Chick Hearn's voice on the radio while watching this on tv. Truly memorable along with A.I. stepping over Tyrone Lue. & any real Lakers Fans know who Chick Hearn is. But for the ones who don't, the best way i can describe him is if you happen to be a Dodger Fan & love hearing Vin Scully. Chick Hearn is basically the Lakers Version of Vin Scully & called the play as it was going. & he had the best inside jokes along the way.
When the NBA was real
Shaq destroyed Mutombo
He destoryed everyone
" AI can get you one game vs the favourite Lakers "
- Stephen A . Smith
That's all though. Lost the next four straight
Games were rigged if you watched game 2 the refs were clearly on the lakers side Ai didn't go to the line once and he averaged over 10 ft attempts per game.. He was one of the best at drawing fouls but somehow didn't get one call that game and Lakers still only won by single digits
Cuando filadelfia daba miedo en la nba, que tiempos aquellos con Iverson y snow. Buen material.
Wow classic one of the great finals game ive ever seen in my life im a die heart laker fan but i have to give it too Allen Iverson hes a GOAT for sure i remember this game
AI : I'm the only one who can rock the Brades..... steps over TL 🏀🔥
Most legendary nastiest crossover and finish.
Swap Kobe and AI and ai wins those titles not Kobe, and doubt Kobe could have dragged that philly team to the Finals like ai did. Just to put things into perspective of what a Legend ai was and is.
Facts
shit put anyone with shaq and the lakers then and who couldnt win a ring. he won with Miami and Wade so thats not saying much
Exactly
144Soldier nah kobe checked the best perimeter player
Dj Booth nah he didn’t win a ring with penny hardaway
I really thought Philly had a shot in the series after this game. Boy was I wrong.
AI under 6 feet tall going up against 6'5"+ players and dominating is outstanding. i dont people can understand the difficulty in what he was able to achieve. the greatest little man to play the game and one of the greatest ever
AI carried a frickin city to the finals!!
You missed to present the two consecutive steal of Lue to Iverson, and the Iverson gets the sweet revenge haha, sorry for my English
The only playoff game the Lakers lost that yr. Mutombo i believe was the Defensive player of the yr that season. He happened to get manhandle by the Goat
Some people are meant to do this. The money and fame comes secondary.
"Kobe, tell me how my ASSS taste." - Shaq 💀💀😂
Shaq carried the lakers AI Destroyed kobe
lmao lechock 3-6 33.3 % win rate in the finals. that chocker is not even top 10 all time.
AI game 2 10-29 34%, game 3 12-30, game 4 12-30, game 5 14-32
that's some trash performance by AI when he can't even play any defense. lul
kobe destroyed his ass other 4 game hahahah
Lue: “WTF! Do you know that you are stepping over a champion coach?”
Awesome Video Awesome Channel
Lucky kobe for having shaq before.
When the NBA was good l, it’s trash now
@JASON QUINONES I think he meant the play style not the quality of the video.
@JASON QUINONES its 2019,wake up bruhh...
Hell of a player A.I was man
4:55 The Shaq Attack
6:10 what the .....
Same thing i said. I was like wtf lmao
Bodies hanging off him. lol
Oh my.maybe if he was 6'3 or up .maybe he become the goat
He is the goat unfortunately there is better goat than him he is mj
This game was so intense with prime AI against prime Shaq. AI made the game so fast.
Nice, powerful match!
A.I. was better than Kobe on the court. Prove me wrong.
FACTSSSS ai best eva
Watch Allen Iverson play a game that's not going his way and come back. Loved ai but there was a reason why he couldn't get a ring
9:20-9:30 = Immortality
😬 never forget this day, one of the hardest games I ever had to watch. Kobe is my fav and A.I is right there next to him, two of my fav players of all time. I'm from Cali tho, gotta ride with my side!
The single greatest basketball performance I have ever seen!
Allen Iverson
equivalent/=
The Answer!
this 2001 sixers is special,but the lakers already have the talent and deeper bench.
A I was a GOAT-Real talk
wowww..what a game A.I the most talented player i've evet seen.
I remember that shit my childhood love it ...
Much respect to A.I but man, how many did Shaq drop in this game?
