The man, The myth, The legend, The Answer...Allen Iverson 🔥🔥🔥
42.5% Feild goal percentage 🤣🤣🤭🥺😂😅😅😅
Love your comment ... that's Iverson!!!!
@@jake-qn3tl I pray im never like you 😂😂 you jus had to downtalk AI because you seen too much love for him 😂😂 ol pathetic ass
Check his %’s when he had legit offensive help in Denver… 27 a night on 46% at age 31/32 imagine if he had that support in his prime & 42.5% is good when you consider he was priority’s 1,2,3,4 & 5 for the opposing defense on the scouting report and how many shots he took with those tight coverages
@@jake-qn3tl What are your NBA stats? Go ahead I'll wait.
Kobe said it best "We're fortunate Allen Iverson wasn't 6'5" 💯💯
i wish AI won at least one ring
If AI is six five he’s essentially Jordan. (Create own shot, deadly jumper, stealing etc)
His style may change though. AI used his lack of size as an advantage when it came to dribbling
They’re also fortunate he never had a true #2 option on his team in his prime. This dude carried some absolute scrubs to the playoffs most years.
Fuckin imagine that! Would be unstoppable foreal
“His crossover was so killer that if you fell victim, you might….cross over” is an amazing line
💯🔥🔥
if you go watch battle rap, you might lose your mind lol
For real ❤️❤️❤️
40mg 😮@LOO9NIBEATS
corny whyte dude talk. foreals?!! ✋ stop
Iverson is and will always be the most naturally talented individual to ever play in the NBA. In his prime he could step away from the game for a year not even touch a basketball but as soon he stepped back on the court he could pick up right where he left off.
Love AI, but this is ridiculous. Oscar Robertson probably more naturally talented, MJ, Charles Barkley (if he'd had Kobe's psychotic drive he probably would have been close to MJ), and arguably Larry Bird (tough to compare those two). Possibly Magic as well.
Dunno about Wilt, his natural athleticism was just something else.
@@user-cn8nu6lq4w what happened when MJ stepped away from the game to play baseball? He came back and wasn't as good as when he left until the next season. He had to get back into basketball shape then he went on to win 3 more championships. That's a prime example of what I'm talking about
Pound for pound probably the toughest, had the most heart.
@@user-rs8bb1hb2e He was rusty for a few games. And yeah, he'd been getting into totally different shape for baseball.
Someone being rusty for a bit doesn't prove they're not naturally talented. Basketball's team sport, and (it at least used to be) a complicated one.
Iverson never took any long breaks from basketball either, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. Jordan also came in near the end of the season (17 games left).
@@user-cn8nu6lq4wits based on his size. Imagine being one of the most dominant players of your era at the size and weight of a fan in the stands. If he was 6’5 he may be the best scorer ever
AI and Shaq,two of the most beloved NBA players ever! LEGENDS!
How come I don't care for them?
I’d say popular more than beloved, at least back then I’m AI’s case. He was treated like an outcast constantly because he did his own thing. His popularity was undeniable, but the league tried to keep a leash on him for much of his career. He’s unquestionably beloved now though.
Icons 💯
@@jake-qn3tlbecause your a hating ass bot/person

“God made you, that’s disrespect to want to be something else.”
👏👏👏
And God Himself says to stop comparing yourself to other people. Yet people still do it regardless....
H@@franklin8618 he also said to not idolize anyone but him. All people do these days in idolize people who are anything but worth it.
Also, God ain't real.
@@AdamWyson If God ain't real, then where do your organs come from such as your heart, brain, and liver to keep you alive? It's not man made.
@@franklin8618Even if we had absolutely no clue how organs worked or anything else about the world, that still doesn't prove there's a god 😂 The answer can be "I don't know". No need to make up magical explanations that can't be proven
Allen Iverson is a superstar. The man is an icon. I've read his book ''only the strong survive'' numerous times, this man has overcome struggles few men could survive. On the court he was deadly.
All Facts
Not better then rik smits
Allen Iverson is the most misunderstood player of all time. True love & respect for the game that's unmatched.
Maybe to a certain "race or culture" he is. But from where I'm from we "understand" who AI the man is and what he stood for.
Allen iverson changed the game of basketball and NEVER gets mentioned, most influential of all time !!!!! ❤
Lol no
Literally gets brought up every time tf u talking about
#3 changed the game 🔥
@art not on espn !!!!!
Facts!
Shaq preventing allen from getting robbed is some real ish
Who would rob Allen Iverson
@@Killemkellzthey are talking about when they were young. He wasn’t known as Allen Iverson yet. He was still new to the league so didn’t have that respect yet.
And to be honest there’s always messed up people that can come at you even if you’re the biggest most beloved star. Evil is everywhere.
🙏🙏Blessings forever GOD loves y'all too forever tell everyone you know and don't know. Jesus loves y'all too forever. Teach everyone how to see and enjoy their blessings too forever❤n
Big time facts 💯👏 them Crips in L A will rob the shit out of you
@@Killemkellzthe L.A gangs
That icy hot plug was clutch 🤣 shaq a market wizard 🧙🏾♂️
Dunno why I find it so funny that the Great Shaquille O'Neal sold his soul to Icy Hot. 😂
@@reck0n3rit's all about making dollar what's wrong with that
Yeah it was he making money at any time possible
@@reck0n3rI’m sure Shaq owns a piece of Icy-Hot. He didn’t sell out, he bought in!
Us 7’2 players make the league look different
Man grew up watching an amazing era of basketball. Kobe, ai, tmac, vince, stevie, starbury, ghill, to timmy d, kg, dirk, cwebb to shaq, yao . Damn i know im missing names but what an amazing era
I haven't watched basketball since then, man 😕
You only missed three: Jason Kidd, Paul Pierce, Rasheed Wallace, and maybe Penny Hardaway for his 4-years pre-injuries. That mid-90s to early 00s era in between MJ and LeBron was amazing.
I love how AI always shouts out Luka in his interviews🔥🔥🔥
He knows Luka is the next one up 💯
He's right. Like him, Luka is all smiles and jokes before the game starts, but when the referee throws the ball up in the air he turns into a killer💯
That’s really him not AI 😂😂😂
“That felt like a championship game.” (Iverson-“No it didn’t”)
“Dam” lol 😆
Nice recover though lol
IVERSON THE GREATEST TO EVER TOUCH THE BASKETBALL
Iverson was a Piranha swimming with Sharks. He may have been the smallest on the court, but his fearlessness, ferocity, intensity and sheer dawg in him to give it everything, everytime he stepped foot on that court made him an icon.
When Shaq said.... "He smelled like GARBAGE TRUCK WATER!" That done it for me! 😂😂😂😂😂
He don’t even wash his ass! 😂
i was crying 😭😭
😂😂😂
18:58 since y’all never time stamp on these long videos.
That's funky 😅
“Your knee hit me in my thigh, I had a thigh bruise!”
“You got big ass knees Shaq”
Shaq: “You ain’t put no icy hot on it?” 😂
Alota people dont remember shaq icyhot commercial😂
I paid the price in a high school football game at halftime with that icy hot one time. Don't ever rub that stuff on your inner thigh young bucks. I was jumping up in down the entire second half. If you know, you know!😂
🙏🙏Blessings forever GOD loves y'all too forever tell everyone you know and don't know. Jesus loves y'all too forever. Teach everyone how to see and enjoy their blessings too foreverh
AI still sour bout it
@@mrgritz4761wtf that bruising was probably painful for two months I’ll be sour till this day too 😂
“What about Chet Holmgren?”
Shaq: “Barbeque SHISH-KABOBS! On a stick..” 💀 🤣
Shut was so funny lmao
🙏🙏Blessings forever GOD loves y'all too forever tell everyone you know and don't know. Jesus loves y'all too forever. Teach everyone how to see and enjoy their blessings too forever❤m
That shit was funny as hell and it's true 😂😂
Wtf is a kabop
@@berkulusoy5basically meat on a stick.......
You can tell that their friendship is truly Genuine, they praised each other the whole interview
They should have him on the pod love when they are together !
They go way back
I can listen to Allen Iverson talk hoops EVERY day. He just effortlessly radiates a passion for the sport.
I love how the greats give John Stockton proper credit. He had all the tools of an elite point guard.
He was an elite point guard.
Unlike Gilbert arenas who will try and tell everyone he’s no better than TJ McConnell
@@dirkfade113 I listen to greats on the same level as shaq and ai. arenas never got on that level hes lucky he played in washington where he got minutes
@@dirkfade113Gilbert was elite once he reached it but injuries put a cap on how long
Fr their is a reason bro has most steals and assists all time
He still got that “we talking about practice” tone in his voice and I love it.
IVERSON is so authentic and humble such a likeable guy
Man if Kobe was still with us, him and Shaq having a podcast would’ve been goated. I just wish we could hear Kobe’s stories with all these legends he battled alongside Shaq..
Shit… your comment fuck my day up bruh. Now i can’t help but imagine that knowing the trend rn, Kobe definitely going to do a podcast, and I’m kinda sure that both of them would try to do a Shaq-Kobe podcast.

@@noct9254wish you people would stop saying the damn word crazy too describe every damn thing learn a different fucking word
@@enamweaknopahknop9661why do you know kobe
I love that Iverson loves Luka, this made my day !!!😎
Iverson rocks with everybody that’s great it’s not a surprise at all. In fact you can guess who all he likes in this up coming generation and probably the generation 10 years from now.
Allen Iverson is so iconic . I had the Iverson shoes, always rooted for him. Such a great part of a lot our childhoods growing up. Everyone wanted to be AI.
He brought style and individuality into the NBA. Sure the guys in the past had their own style but AI really went against the norm.
I could listen to Allen Iverson talk about anything. Especially practice
Kids today don’t know this man and how AWEOME he was and still is, AI is the MAN!!!! A 6’0 man amongst Giants and was fast as lightning!!! A True Legend!! The Answer!!!!
“ Dennis ain’t with us “ 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I'm a Slovenian guy and my favourite player of all time has ALWAYS been AI. Hearing him say he loves Luka makes me feel like a proud dad somehow, even though I have nothing to do with anything lmao
Iverson is the only player that has to official nicknames the "question" and the "answer" he's the reason why former players that haven't won a title are still considered the greatest in the history of the game
*two nicknames
"if we practicin at 9 o'clock, i get there at 8:55" 🤣🤣 yup sounds like Iverson
This guy was my hero.... I got in alot of shit during my athletic career😂
IVERSON THE GREATEST TO EVER TOUCH THE BASKETBALL
I’m so grateful I was able to witness and appreciate the era of Allen Iverson.
How wonderful that we live in this time and have the opportunity to watch these wonderful players. I'm 41 years old, i'm from Ukraine, I also played basketball and Allen was my idol👍👍👍💪💪
Shaq is so smart. His ads are companies he's a major investor. GENIUS...taking notes
Iverson is great and so true with his heart. That’s rare. Love the shout to Eric snow and Aaron McKee. Both were so underrated on that 76ers team.
Eric snow use too Ball Out!!
Iverson's a real man. I didn't like him for a long time because I thought he did what he was accused of back in the day, but now I know he didn't. Like Pac: Just not that kind of person.
McKee was nice
AI seems like such a genuine guy. You can tell he puts a lot of thought into what he says and really takes the time to process what other people say. He also refused to talk bad about other players even in today's world where public smack talk happens all the time. A true class act.
I'm from Philly and a lifelong Sixers fan. I saw every single Iverson game and i remember that play Shaq kneed him and AI was out
Allen is so raw.
That Dennis Rodman story is crazy 🤣🤣 Shaq told
You know the Rodman story but still laughed
Shaq was hatin Dennis could get away with way more than he could lol
@@vsc_wwevery time 😂
MJ was the first to tell those stories about Dennis.
that Iverson hoodie is dope as hell 🔥
where can we get that?
Simple sneaker has em on their website
i got mine from simple sneaker website, its clean
Be yourself. Live, laugh, love. I love it!
"You ain't get no icy hot?" Had me dying!
“Everybody else is taken up, why not be you”. Golden ❤
I love how yall have the time stamps in the description. More podcasts need to do this. Especially on the long interviews.
No lie fasho
AI is one of the most humble guys out there. After listening to him speak I gained so much respect for him.
I remember going to the after-hours Club Palmers in Philly on a Saturday night and seeing AI in there all the time. 4 am he'll be driving off in his Bentley. Sunday early afternoon he'll be on the television killing it. Or even crazier seeing him in the club at 10:30 pm after going up against players like Oakley, Shaq, MJ, Kobe, ect. Scoring 40 and chilling by the bar an hour later. Word!
Lol Palmers crazy how we forget the good old days.
Yup! Palmers. I actually met Michael Jordan there after a wizards game too.
I also used to work at Fridays, the famous CityLine Fridays.
We talking about practice not the game
@@nikkischuler5576you talking about the TGI Fridays right there at the bypass
Damn those were the days I remember fondly. I was the picture man at Palmers, transit, Chrome and pinnacle from 04 to 08. 2 dollar Tuesday's and weekends were crazy! I worked at suite 450 too before they were shutdown.
Chuck is my all time favourite player hands down. You need to have him back on for longer, the mutual respect between him and Shaq is dope to watch.
“Hey Dennis, I ain’t say nothing.” LMAO!!!!
Allen a real one. " don't embarrass me like that" lol
Man I LOVE the hell out of AI. As well as being a legend and one of the greatest talents ever, he really is one of the sweetest NBA alumni out there. He got a hard reputation back in the day from his background, but he has so much love to give and is just entirely himself. Really truly genuine. So glad he’s around
Tell the moderator or host, whatever he is, to stop ALWAYS cutting the guest off and let them talk.. nobody wants to hear him talk all the time.
He’s corny asf
He’s useless Shaq do your own thing
I wanted to comment earlier on this guy didn't wanna be negative but who tf is this guy..I wish tha Big Fella would have had another basketball player as host..this guy is not it..
Thank you! It's not about you fall back! Remind me of those radio guys who talk over the track stfu get over yourself
Love seeing him wear a Toronto blue jays hat.
Showing love to the city 🔥
He’s trolling us from ‘01
Hahahaha..."Dennis aint wit us Dennis over there"
Shaq
😂🤣😂
His crossover was so killer, if u fell victim u might cross over 😂😂😂😂
Two of the most iconic players of all time
“You ain’t get no icy hot man up AI icy hot” -The promo wizard 😂
I still remember when I was 10 years old (I'm 34) when I saw a magazine and A.I was there... After that I felt in love with the game of basketball, always trying to play like him, spending hours watching games, videotapes (VHS) etc. I was desperate to learn how to do the the Crossover... I could say that A.I and his influence changed and saved my life.
Love from México.
“everybody else taken up, why not be you?” love this
Love how Shaq and AI are low key giving each of their flowers!! Respect!❤
Shaq: "U ain't get no Icy-Hot??? MAN UP" 😂😂😂😂
Bubba chuck my favorite player ever so awesome too see this and listen just fabulous
AI stayed out in Philly all night his entire career and still was a killer on the court. He was him for our city. No one will ever be as entertaining to watch like bubba chuck.
I heard he is bigger than Dr.J. is that true?
27:59 he crossed buddy so bad. He got up looking for a foul😂😂😂
The best one yet! AI is the reason I’m a Sixers fan, and people don’t talk enough about his basketball knowledge 🔥
Man, I hope Mac gets signed soon. He's so skilled, enthusiastic but grounded, and fun to watch. I wish the Warriors kept him!!
Iverson and Shaq together on the same podcast and now in the front office at Reebok together is straight 🔥. These two guys were truly dominant in their era and there hasnt been another like them since they left. Nobody has had the size and physicality that Shaq had. They used to hack him 20-30x per game just to put him at the line bc they couldn't control him in the paint. Iverson could literally get any shot he wanted every single time down the court and he played every single minute like it was his last. Their might be PG's that pass, dribble, or shoot better now...but nobody will ever play with that much heart ❤️. He could put a whole team on his back and keep you in any game. Much respect to both.
Iverson wasn't a problem, he was an answer
the dude on the side does great job of asking "who r u referring to" it really helps the audience 👍🏻👍🏻
low key he's gonna love this comment 😊
Man just the sheer gratefulness he has. He is the guy who is just saying “I love this game and will play my heart out because this is better than anything else that can happen to me” and he’s just GRATEFUL. no ego, no pettiness, no hemming and hawing. He’s just grateful and loves the game because it’s joyful and he play his heart out.
People praise Dame or Steven Adams for saying it’s just a game but AI was the original perspective. They hating on AI for saying essentially the same thing. The fact that AI keeps track of everybody today shows how much he’d just DIE to get on the court today.
You can feel the love Shaq and AI generally have for each other 🖤
The answer, the culture. So good to see AI healthy and doing well. One of the greatest to ever do it. Loved the back and forth stories from him and Shaq. Great episode guys.
Soon as I saw Allen Iverson, I Liiked, made this comment and subscribed 😂😂😂 let's go A.I.
Allen Iverson was a movement! We in Philly will always love him ! Always.
This is pure gold. So many things to take away from this Interview.
Speaking of handles Steve Francis deserves a shout out... He was toying with people out there in his prime and then dunking on everyone
His highlight reel is lit 🔥🔥
Oh I love Allen Iverson. My husband and I been together the same amount of time as him and his wife. Allen you came to the gas station I worked at in Philly and I was stuck when you came to the window. 😂😂😂😂Such a great humble man.
This is a really weird comment.
Its really weird that you commented that it was a really weird comment@@jordanbabcock9349
@@jordanbabcock9349 her husband is sooooo lucky lol
AI at 5'11 has the same amount of scoring titles as KD who is 6'10. Crazy.
AI was built different. Fast as lightening, underrated passer, played the passing lanes like no other etc... The NBA truly was not the same when he left. Pound for pound, one of the GOATs. I can't imagine anyone 6ft or under achieving what he did.
That Lakers v 76ers series was unreal
ILL NEVER FORGET 🔥🔥🔥🔥
23:40 I love that Allen always shows his love to the young players
Allen Iverson is my favorite player of all time, any interview he’s in, I sit back and watch
The 01’ NBA Playoffs is what made me love the game of basketball
IVERSON IS THE REASON I STARTED WATCHING BASKETBALL SINCE 2005/2006 ish that whole era. It was him and bron but my favorite has been and still is AI
That documentary in philly was what set my love for nba off and i had arm sleeves and finger bands all that.
Ai still real af and i just love the guy so much. I wish him all the best and hope to meet him one day. Love you AI ❤
As Salaamu'Alaikum to Shaq; wishing him continued SUCCESS with this podcast!!✌🏿SALUTE to A.I., one of The GREATEST to EVER play the game; and remain TRUE to himself, and OUR culture!!!👏🏿 I'm acquaintances with his family from Hartford, CT!! They said his father, and uncles were phenomenal ballers as well!✌🏿
you can clearly see the respect they have for each other....i love this.
Shaq saying you 😂you didn't get any icey hot is priceless. They should just steal that segment and make it a commercial that was hysterical 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤
Diesel and AI during ASW were some of the best times. Much love.
So cool to watch these two guys who were rivals have this conversation and be so close outside of the game That's maximum respect and sportsmanship, but also brotherhood.
AI the only one I seen immediately acknowledge cam and mase for getting everyone playing the ⏸️ game. Respect
A.i. my dude.. i just REBOUGHT the ANSWER 1'S for my birthday in feb.. luckily i was able to meet him at dave & busters in duluth, ga.
It's refreshing and awesome to see the love AI has for Luka. As loved as he is by the world, most old heads hate Luka. (looking at Shaq, Stephen A, etc). That's great charisma by AI in seeing the basketball genius in Luka.
You have to love Shaq. Always generating so many jobs for people. ❤ from🇨🇦
I love it "Its only Basketball"! When you love the game, you love the GAME!
Allen iverson gives me nostalgia every time I see him on CZcams legend
I could just listen to these legends they played the best era of NBA history
Dermar Johnson was a great young prospect out of the university of Cincinnati but was in a car accident and he was never the same player and still gave iverson problems
Most dominant little man (baby shaq) and the most dominant big man to ever play the game 🔥🔥
I love AI being on podcasts and interviews and it shows so much since the all the smoke interview that I think AI is realizing how much the NBA community loves him and his legacy and they respect the hell out of him.
I'm born and raised in Chicago. Seen MJ play numerous times in person and on tv but Iverson has always been my favorite player.
I watched a documentary on Iverson not that long ago. It was incredible. I instantly became a fan.
He said Dermarr Johnson. One of my favorites. Bro had crazy potential but he had a very serious injury from a car accident.
