Allen Iverson 48pts vs Kobe Shaq Lakers 2001 NBA Finals Game 1 - pennyccw

[TheChristian0660]

i met allen in an airport wen i was like 8 and asked him for a autograph, so he signed my A.I. jersey and held it over my head for like 2 minutes to mess with me. he's a very funny guy and one of the best players, if not the best, to put on a sixers uniform or even any team...it's just a shame that he never got the ring that he so badly wanted and that i think we all knew he deserved

[ronenm16]

Philly should have won that series :( at least 1 for AI

[felpsrodrigues]

Allen Iverson Is the best player I saw in my life.

[Klassickk]

when iverson stepped over that guy that shit was just disrespectful lol

one of the best shots in history

[Klassickk]

i like how shaq was bringing it to mutombo that shit was great

[TheHITLERGAY]

I Really dont understand People Compare AI with a Lot of Badly Players now, like they forget How Great AI was and are.Kobe Bryant make lot of Record Cause AI is not in NBA that's for Sure. en you’re telling me Charlotte, Washington, or New Orleans can’t use this guy on their bench to at least sell a couple of thousand tickets? Some team should sign him to a 10 Day Contract at least. He’s served his punishment already for being a jerk. Enough is enough. This guy still has NBA talent. From Zambia

[TheBigSaves]

Kobe had hair :O

[xxxxcrimsontidexxxx]

AI is 2nd behind jordan

[shoulderollHD]

2nd greatest up to date!

[sacokhan]

statistics does not show how big you are, people who fear you shows.

[jacobbxd]

one word,

heart.

[schmitty3100]

I miss this era

[ballthemblack]

that was the time when AI was the best player in the NBA not just because of the way he played but it was his heart and desire to play every game as if it was his last and i was really glad when they won game one of that finals would have been nice to see him win a title.

[borRIING]

@ballthemblack But does he go to practice?

[ballthemblack]

@borRIING he may have he may not have thats something that you have to find out for yourself. i cant say yes n cant say no cuz im not there or on the team. im going by how he plays and how he gives his all into it.

[theanklebreaker2]

@Novinte Who cares Lebron lost both trips to the finals. The point of this video is that Iverson was clutch. Wade was the only clutch one last year for the Heat. Yeah Iverson lost but he willed his team and plus what other team was gonna stop the 2000-2002 Lakers

[spartan1down]

Rick fox ran out of air at 4:19, lmao.

[bbc310]

miss Allen Iverson to death. hope some team signs him. Let`s actually make the nba interesting again - get AI back in the league.

[CalderonErnie]

I miss Iverson :(

[ballthemblack]

@CalderonErnie same here

[xyesyesx1]

looks like no one could guard him at all .

[nikosloca3]

7:52 Derek Fisher....

[killinyobeats]

lmaooo ! 7:52 look at derek fisher! hahaha

[treyanglin252]

shout out to A I he was the first to brace NBA 2K I still have your jersey in my closet next to kobe

[treyanglin252]

check 13:28 lol damn lue

[TheHITLERGAY]

DAVID STERN HATE AI 4 REAL.. A LOT OF PLAYERS GET 10 DAYS CONTRACT WHY, WHY, WHY AI NOT?EVEN 5 DAYS CONTRACT TO SEE IF HE REALLY CAN STILL BALL. THIS BULLSHIT! AND SAD! FROM ZAMBIA

[BRazor92]

Who else misses NBA on NBC 4:20?

[Ilakkyan]

Well written video description. Superb video

[420chuck1]

iverson schooled kobe

[eliezer87cowboys]

If it wasnt for shaq sixers would of won kobe aint have shit on ai

[TheAfternoontoker]

We Came Here Expecting to Win, A.I. The realest dude, its a damn shame he never got a ring.

[iwilleatyopussy]

I wish AI would of kept this type of mentality thought his entire career!

[90sbasketballrule]

@iwilleatyopussy I wish he did too but also i wish he had this type of defensive team his entire career. I know im gonna hear the haters say he had a team in Denver, pffft but they couldnt play a lick of defense not to mention you cant have 2 scorers who take 25 plus shots a game

[iwilleatyopussy]

@90sbasketballrule i agree, he was great he could of surpass kobe he could become a legend.

[90sbasketballrule]

@iwilleatyopussy lol naw he already a legend probably the best 6ft player ever

[4707long]

allen iverson shotting ball

like drink water~

[Gergerpatpat]

lol...Kobe 7 for 21..15 pts

[TrinidadRasta]

Soccer

[IIxBLAZziiN69x]

A.I put in some work. But god damn! Shaq was just man-handling fools in the paint

[fordmderrick33]

I really wish Allen Iverson could've got him a ring.

[MrManny810]

this is what dwight is going to do if he makes it to the finals agin the same thing as shaq

[90sbasketballrule]

@MrManny810 pffft ok if he can muscle his way down in the post more and stop trying to catch alley oops and stop whining about getting pussy ass fouls then maybe just maybe he'll be dominant in the finals. Shaq was on a whole different level because he was fearless and powerful

[tiger82828]

淦...誰擋的住歐尼爾....

[schoolwell]

13:31 straight ruthless.

[itchycow98]

Mt. Mutombo

[juice2010able]

I became an NBA fan because of AI...period...

[VariableYoung]

only time can stop shap!!!

[kwisdom86]

@8:27 OMFG Shaq Is Not No Little Boy Down There! Grown Man Dunk!

[JamesBeam420]

I don't think anyone who's a true NBA fan will forget how dominant A.I was in his prime. The NBA is a tough league to have a long lasting career in, and the way Iverson played, all out, night in and night out, and being a smaller player, his body took alot of damage that took it's toll and shortened his window. And it is too bad he couldn't swallow his pride and come off of the bench, but that's just not the type of dude he was or is. He needed to lead, and couldn't adapt to that role.

[Grojic]

For some reason he always did like to fuck the Lakers...

[knottyboy20]

the reason this is so impressive is because they are not playing a weak team....both kobe and shag were playing well....iverson stepped up here and won the game for his team....all on his shoulder....awesome work

[EzailAllen03]

13:25 Phil: lue shut that fuck up! Lue:ok! AI:is that all?

[STEEPPOW]

Beyond the obviously amazing game by AI, these highlights remind me how beast Shaq was in his prime. He would murder Howard all day head to head in their prime.

[hollabackitsobi]

13:20 is murder on an NBA court. One of the most disgusting moments in NBA history. And that's the GOOD disgusting.

[hollabackitsobi]

AI was SO. FREAKING. FAST. Look at 1:08 where he just takes OFF on a full-on baseline sprint. He looks like a WR coming out of his break and just blazing past his cover guy to get separation. Insane.

[redman10466]

i won $20 off this game hahaha!

[Bull3tLaaag]

i feel bad for mutombo in every clip hes in



[franklinMwhite414]

great vid of AI, but also reminds me that shaq was a fucking monster

[Cheema0113]

8:33 lol at Kobe choking in the finals again!

[ELxBATMAN45]

IF AI HAD D-WADE CHRIS BOSH HE WOULD OF WON A CHAMPIONSHIP! ALLEN IVERSON WENT 2 THE FINALS BY HIMSELF THAT 01 SEASON & TOOK IT 2 KOBE & SHAQ .... ON THAT NOTE LEBRON UR A GREAT PLAYER BUT U GOT 2 STEP UR GAME & GET A CLUTCH GENE

[lionelangemario]

the greatest individual performance in playoffs and nba finals in the post jordan era!

second,lebron vs pistons in 2007 game 5!

[stupidretard10]

I miss allen iverson the nba has never been the same since he lost his step its a real shame him and Tracy Mcgrady, I remember those shoes wore them to all my games

[MAGICALanswer]

THAT'S WHAT LEBRON JAMES ALWAYS FAIL TO DO IN HIS FINALS GAMES. ALL HAIL ALLEN IVERSON.

[Cheema0113]

@MAGICALanswer i hope u do know he lost!

[spartan1down]

@MAGICALanswer

Allen Iverson lost in the finals. Never won an NBA championship, and will never do in his lifetime. Lebron James, went to the finals, more times, and at a younger age than A.I., and he still has many more chances to win. /sucka

[Tooflyforairplanes]

@MAGICALanswer STOP ACTING LIKE YOU CARE IF LEBRON DOES THAT.YOU HATERS ALWAYS WANTS HIM TO FAIL AND WHEN HE DOES,YOU START LIKE YOU ACTUALLY EXPECTED HIM TO SUCCEED..

[Novinte]

@MAGICALanswer Niggas seem to forget quick...the heat had the fucking lead on those last games but they don't have a coach to see when things get out of hand.

[Novinte]

@MAGICALanswer Plus, Iverson LOST the finals.

[Guitarherotimmydude]

@Novinte no shit but he didnt have wade and bosh idiot

[Christo01]

one of the greatest of all time!

[WatchWhatISAY]

A.I. is a fuckn 5"10 GIANT!

[AutomatikZ187]

LMFAO kobe 7-21 hahah the same old news from kobe in the finals does 6-24 ring a bell? lol he's always played mediocre in the finals his team mates hide his poor performances in the finals smh this is why kobe is the most lucky player in nba history he played wit the most dominate kobe bryant is the most overated in nba history no doubt

[Salukiham420]

@AutomatikZ187 how many rings AI got? oh yeah...

[TheJumpman319]

@Salukiham420 okay? doesn't change the fact that Kobe shot terribly.

[90sbasketballrule]

@Salukiham420 Rings dont measure a players individual skill only a team does

[Salukiham420]

@90sbasketballrule agreed, i just love kobes cerebral game

[ribnarak]

@Salukiham420

lol what a dumbass argument. Teams win rings not players alone.

By your retarded logic, derek fisher is better than Allen Iverson?

yeah i though so. IF you're gonna argue, atleast bring some valid points.You're pathetic.

[hotsiszle]

has anyone ever noticed that kobe always positions himself into the other teams territory on a jump ball? look where his feet are

[420chuck1]

glad to watch ai again i watch the finals back in 2001 honestly rooting for the lakers but ai was a beast back when he shot that jumpshot right infront of tyron lou i was cheering...

[noe302]

Too bad they lost the next four )':

[cintiwinti]

5:27 kobe always thinks he was fouled...

[DarkAngelYin]

THEY NEED TO HACK A SHAQ MORE IN THIS GAME MORE!

TURNED FROM HACK A SHAQ TO HACK A IVERSON!

[lionelangemario]

outside of michael,he was the most talented,gifted,blessed,brave individual player in nba history!

that's how great he was.

[marcelosoto88]

I miss iverson, I hope he can retire on the nba and not on europe

[blacktee31]

@marcelosoto88 Agreed. I think if he came to Atlanta he would be good coming off the bench for Teague. Atlanta has some strong bench players and he could definitely add to the bench points and contribute to the team.

[cosby2389]

@marcelosoto88 i hope the sixers do a sign and let go deal so he can retire a 76er

[vexed334]

Iverson + LeBron = D.ROSE

[DrePeezy415]

@bjdamob u sound dumb af!

[joesipr]

Ai the best

[Jacory12chosen1]

no one likes LA

[Papasmurf532]

ur description is awesome, theres still hope i still think iverson can sign with a good team cuz anythings possible

[oldmanwithers1]

Derrick Fisher.... SMH.

[tellenemlikeitiz]

eeewwwww. Matt Geiger.10:29 

[Ballin1sLife]

Who likes Iverson more than kobe

thumbs up

[trunksdbz92]

If shaq wasn't there they wouldn't of went to the finals.

[nikeairjordan710]

Did anybody notice the injury list AI was playing with omg,,,,,,he is beast playing injured I give him props for the desire to still play

[thejoker22ful]

@DJV132 and where shaq need kobe to get a ring happens

[DJV132]

Where "Kobe was nothing without shag" happenend

[kayele]

I would start going to all the sixers games if ai came back

[jamescfc1]

@kayele The Sixers are playing brilliantly right now, why aren't you going to all their games now!?

[kayele]

@jamescfc1 I know I just miss AI..lol

[XxKaSpRxX149]

@kayele I dont know much about him but what happened?

[Bartpolish]

Bryant was like shit in this game. But Shaq? He owned this.

And yea, if the Shaq wasnt there, it would be way easier for AI to do the work. Iverson- The Greatest

[huessika]

how often dunked shaq?!?!^^

[teamsami123]

Man the 76ers need someone like Iverson who can score 30 plus points per a game.

[manofmywords240]

Wow!! what a game 1 final that was

[hitmancoolio]

I miss AI

[progmetal1456]

@hitmancoolio And this NBA!

[HeeinTheKorean]

im impressed by AI. but my goodness.. shaq was a beast

[thereddoors]

13:28 & 14:20 love it

[tswarty33]

Lebron traveled

[PhilyGetMoney]

Nossa que espetaculo que ele deu, Pena que o Sixers nao levaram o caneco

[johnnympm1]

SHOWWWWWW!!!!!

[TheHITLERGAY]

He deserve RESPECT IMAO!!!!!!!!!!! STOP HATE N BE STUPID..THANK U

[TheHITLERGAY]

i’ll be honest , I really do NOT like the breed of NBA stars, I like Durant, Rose is exciting, russell westbrook ball hog, Wade ehhh? , Lebron – mixed feelings , etc….

2000s & A.I. FOREVER!

[TheHITLERGAY]

othella the big fella harrington, TOUMOU! A.I was an Icon , he still is, depending on who you ask AND HOW OLD THEY ARE TO REMEMBER !!!these young cats dont know anything about the Kings – Lakers battles in the West Finals, NETS Jason Kidd glory days, early spurs with David Robinson, the REAL LAKERS DYNASTY WITH SHAQ in his prime, antoine walker & paul pierce 1 2 punch for the celts, reggie and the pacers, the list goes on and on….

If we wanna take it back further, the 90s wer

[gregnotes]

@TheHITLERGAY Wow you're a kid yourself

[TheHITLERGAY]

I just turned 25 two weeks age.yes I feel old, I feel old because I feel like I’m the only one who remembers CLASSIC NBA BASKETBALL in the 2000s decade,these teenager kids and 21 year old cats dont know anything, they never saw it like some of us people my age,they never saw Allen Iverson take a 1 man team to the NBA finals, the step over shot against Tyronn Lou in game 1,or the MJ crossover J, or his Georgetown days with the patton leather black jordans the team had, victor page, jerome willia

[alienboyguitar]

0:28 3 SEC. ILLEGAL DEFENSE for Shaq :D

[channie289]

Iverson the sexiest still...I miss that dude. He still cold to me. !

[channie289]

Iverson

[2000VinceCarter]

shaq , iverson , carter , .....

they're better than lebron

[2000VinceCarter]

@2000VinceCarter were better

[choi127]

loved it when ai stepped over lue...i still remember that as if it were yesterday

[mannypuj1122]

Iverson will get his jersey raised in PHILA and his enshrinement in Springfield... He'll get his due, ceremoniously. I think he's still active but just wait, in 5-6 years.

[sunike07]

damn, shaq doesn't play, it's go hard or go home lol

[Amoder0]

damn shaq was a monster 

[kayele]

@Amoder0 Shaq was an offensive hack that got away with murder

[ProfoundVirgin]

Lebron doesn't even deserve to be in the same sentence as Kobe, just like Howard and Shaq.

[AutomatikZ187]

@ProfoundVirgin i know because us true nba fans know lebron is far above kobe no doubt just think if lebron had this shaq wow can we say unstoppable plus i dont think lebron would have never ran shaq out of town SMH kobe selfish self centered piece of shit kobe bryant is the most overated player in nba history

[DrMeh3]

I miss watching Iverson :(

[earvase]

That shot at 2;38 now that was in you face.

[armin38822]

Allen Iverson is a legend who should be in the hall of fame without a question. He had an huge impact on and of the court. Allot of people wanted to be and look just like him and I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. He made NBA more popular and I think they ( NBA ) should be thankfull for that.

[lottdominique]

13:24 Greatest Iverson Moment Ever

[lottdominique]

Derek Fisher was never able to check a good PG, shame on every Lakers fan boy for saying he could check CP3 in the playoffs

[TheAssgas]

damn didn't know raja bell was up in kobe's grill back then too.

[PurplePlayer99]

wow thanks for this video dude, even shaq highlights there. AI is one of the most important players in league history, you don't need to be 6'5 to lead your team in scoring

[wayne2166]

Too bad he was on drugs

[dunkman2321]

isnt that a travel at 5:38

[TheUmard]

@dunkman2321 If you look at the slo mo. it's exactly 3 steps

[Reycolombiano999]

@dunkman2321 Hop step

[ZackP95]

i dont care how a.i ended his career he should be in the hall of fame

[67holla]

if it wasn't for Shaq, Allen & tha 76ers would've owned tha Lakers.

[jcdaking6]

I liked the vid you had at first with the whole NBA on NBC theme going but great vid nevertheless

[phillyphan221]

Even tyronne lue liked this

[Jewelsm3]

I don't even know why Kobe was talking to Iverson, during those years he couldn't even see Iverson. You people in Philadelphia is very fortunate to see this man play live and there will never ever be a man like this guy in the nba.

[ioverson3]

Great caption also, thump up to pennyccw, you rock!

[TheSneakerRobot]

damn he destroyed kobe...you know its bad when phil jackson send someone else to hold him

[yeon723]

I'm still shaking my head everytime Allen iverson scores. He was the best player in the world that year, I'm happy about that as if he won the championship. He was broken by the time the sixers reached the Lakers, he literally killed all the teams himself that year in the playofffs,

[fullermrff]

im a huge lakers fan but iverson was pimp this game...i gained a lot of respect that night...a lot...

[tateb]

Best game ever! I wish 76ers had won championship...

[Reign235]

Back when the Lakers had a crowd/

[triklops]

"Kobe thought he was fouled..." ...BIG NEWS :P

[kingcmoney20]

lets be honest the real reason you wathced this wasn't really for the 48 points(even though it was spectacular yall) it was for the crossover on tyrone lue...... the rest of the game jsut worked its way up to that play. lol we'll never forget the stepover

[AndrehNowaski]

kobe 4 points 5 turnovers haha

kobe shit

[RedRyders]

IVERSON DUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lasheen2123]

derick fisher sucked at playing defense back then and still does now... :(

[shoulderollHD]

kobe is no way greater than ai no matter how much rings he has.

[cHoKeArTiisT]

iverson in his prime, was certified toda max

[kolumvia09]

Allen was the shit

[TheGreatOops]

kobe is shit compared to aLLEN IVERSON

[myri0191]

@TheGreatOops you're a shit compared to both

[eskimofo89]

LOOK OUT! There's a shack on the basketball court!

[BENKATOK]

Without Shaq the Sixers could had easily won the series.

[TruhbleMan]

10:30 Shaq once was a God.

[philagon]

@acediamonds nope, zeke
