NBA Vault: Allen Iverson Rookie Year Highlights

[ngolimit2]

The most beat up player of all time, refs hated him, never flopped, never started shit on the court, and always wanted to play the entire 48 minutes at full speed

[SprintPaco]

Imagine Rondo's stealing/passing ability, D. Rose's sped up crossovers/dunking and John Wall's speed. Well, that's AI.

[fabien82]

How come no player nowadays has a crossover so deadly

[juntartful]

@fabien82 Derrick Rose

[atl2maryland]

@juntartful man you cant before more than 12. Derrick Rose has a weak crossover. He doesnt sell going right lack you do with classic crossover. Rose is so quick he gets by you anyway

[atl2maryland]

@atl2maryland i mean you cant be older than 12. The only people with nasty crossovers like that were AI and Steve Francis. Stephon Marbury had great change of direction. Tyreke Evans probably has the smoothest crossover of players today. If he got quicker and more explosive hed be deadly.

[LeatherBootz]

@atl2maryland agreed. if he wasnt so fast and quick, nobody would think his crossover is that good

[Slickrey]

AI was killer.

[bambipaza]

no one can compare to him

[atl2maryland]

A.I. was never as healthy in his career as he was in his first year. Every year he got more beat up. Alot of players that came to the league in the 90's were great they just seemed to miss their peak because of injuries.

[06sk8nsurf]

how is d.fisher still and in the league and iverson not???

[reyrecks]

this was AI before the tattoos and all the drama......he could of been one of the greatest.........still good memories

[weakerdsk8team]

@reyrecks he is one of the greatest



[ngolimit2]

Great mix

[PorterLucas]

aquille carr... the next A.I.

[Tyjaun123]

dang bro how many croos ups is that

[TheNavtronyx]

lol at 1:20 rondo who? Danm The Answer will be missed. One of the greats to ever play the game.

[iverson3501]

@TheNavtronyx Hell ya he's my favorite player and reggie miller and Dennis rodman

[DynamicImpulse]

AI...

[buzzkill225]

john wall is a real point guard ai was just a ball hog 2 guard like kobe, john wall knows how to pass the ball cool huh

[illsgotcash]

@buzzkill225 Allen iverson rookie year 23.5 ppg and 7.5 apg John Wall rookie year 16.4 ppg and 8.3 apg

now you look stupid considering AI averaged 7 more points and not even one assist lower then john wall

[rockfan96channel]

man i miss him

[bmfitzgerald3]

"Michael, get up on em!" *deadly cross* "oops." - Sincerely, Phil Jackson

[MrSouthphillyitalian]

Def better than jordan in his prime

[DBZartist559]

A I come back to the NBA.. We Miss You! :(

[516swagman]

Did Yall KNo Dat He Didnt Work On Hiz Game? O Yeah I Copped Slam 150 Today!

[ysomad123]

@516swagman Did you know you type like a retard?

[516swagman]

@ysomad123 No i did not know I type like a retard but thank you for asking.

[joro808]

dont care wat any one says AI's top 5 all time

[ninalesca18]

3:00 - 3:13 wtf????????

[DJScope88]

he was the TRUTH

[OJDanny]

1. MJ

2. AI

3.KB

just my opinion.

[kennethtuber]

iverson is such a talent for a little guy.. i idolize him for what he did for the game... actually, i got my moves from him... hehe...

[AYANNA20111]

amazinz



[wilpeasop]

AI was the shit he deserves a lot of credit on what he did in basketball (NBA) but its sad because he didn't got at least one ring

[r0ddy3]

That no rookie skills!

[quinnthology31]

@dwaynechai: everything with AI was on the table, what you see in this year is what you get. Wall has a ton of developing we haven't seen yet

[JoKeRsObLiViOn420]

@quinnthology31 john wall will never be 1% of allen iverson. I miss watching allen play, the sixers just arent fun to watch anymore. its like someone in the family died basketball is just boring. watching ppl like lebron just dunk thats boring. i like playrs who will break your ankels fly by u and dunk. or like Dave chepel said SHOOT THE J.

[KevYuuuu]

god he is so friken good... what happened

[daryltanael]

deserving to be picked no. 1 overall 1996

[zenjiros]

For his height and weight amongst a landscape of relative giants, this man posted simply AMAZING career numbers.

[Medevenx]

can't you all just accept that he's actually an SG?

[n3v3tS180]

is allen iverson gonna be in the hall of fame??

[MrThekidisback]

@n3v3tS180 of course

[r0ddy3]

@n3v3tS180 i hope so

[xxNELLABOYZxx]

Little man equals big heart.

[trillsavage1000]

steve kerr shouldnt even want to get back on the court after that

[EnchantedPop]

What a man.

I think that's all you need to say really.

[ajwhoelse20]

A.I is a beast he deserve a ring.... NBA use to be really fun to watch when A.I was playing

[Utenadreamsanthy]

jordan break !!!

[kayoah]

he's the only reason why i played basketball!

[kayoah]

no other point guards in the nba will compare the greatness and heart of ai, every game he sacrificed his body just to make a score for his teams, he just unlucky because he surrounds by many idiots player like eric snow mckie dalembert etc.!, how a 6ft guy carry a team in the finals and scores 40more pts during playoffs!. the greatest pt guard in the nba that's all!, i always wish that he could play again in the nba.

[WhYtEtYsOn]

46 people think Tyron Lue is a better player

[LocalBoyBounce]

we all know rajon rondo is a follower of this beast. but no one can compare..

[TheJoeycarr]

what a presence inside for a 6ft player....he is an unbelievable player to watch!

[dpetip]

hall of famer

[QuarterPoundPunk]

AI is playing in turkey, with the tean called "Cola Turka". watch his highlights ;)

[optimus1102]

Fuck youtube !!!! always ad!!!!!! fuckers!

[GQ031]

Damn I miss watching AI put in work.

[madude04]

Thats when he HAD game



[TheRoyalAirnessMJ]

@madude04 even tho allen iverson is 40 yrs old n all the bones in his body r broken, he has 10x more game than u ever will u fat troll. soooo just dipp off this videoo.

[madude04]

@TheRoyalAirnessMJ ok faggot. Fat Troll? I bet your mom's tits don't compare to me

[fgypsy45]

ai sacrificed his body for philly and when his daughter got sick they told him to fuck off after the delima the gods of basket ball dont tolerate shit like that

[michaeljacksongal]

i wish ai was still like this

[FRAYLIN98]

WHAT HAPPENED TO IVERSON ANYWAY WHY HE NOT PLAYING IN NBA?

[azNcombatarms]

@FRAYLIN98 No one wanted to sign him, he ended up going to Europe to play Basketball. I think hes at Turkey righ tnow.

[icyboy771z]

iverson only crosses to the right if you noticed lol

[kylethelamboaddict]

@icyboy771z to the left you idiot

[Tyronieus]

Haha...anyone spot the Thunders coach "Scott Brook no. 4" @4:10

[justinbrown610]

the first one was mj ?????????? wow

[TheThorte30]

For me the best scorer of all times among the little guys!! The league is missing him...

[CouchDwellers]

He deserves a Ring

[JulyFishHD]

I did have a feeling maybe jennings could be the next AI

[cubsfan4life33]

AI is the only PLAYER I ever paid to watch.

[123mkspark]

omfg press 9 lmfao listen 

[johndang604]

he always go right..

[cubsfan4life33]

@johndang604 And they still can't stop him

[johndang604]

he alwaysgo right

[Kiel9382]

Is it just me or were NBA jerseys so much cooler back in this time period. Pistons,Rockets,Magic, Raptors etc.etc. Now overall they're too plain in my eyes.

[kayexem]

No one will ever be a pointguard as great as Iverson in his Rookie year.

[IsolosIable]

no.... jordan will owned by iverson....

[JeremyRice3]

I can't believe how ppl be talking about Ai selfish honestly who did he have? Jordan had pippen kobe had shaq Ai had? Stackhouse wasn't doing shit Aaron Mckie Eric Snow wasn't doing shit Chris webber Iguadala was ok but they didn't make it happen either so why call him selfish if he had to score? He was the number one option every year for the sixers Ai carried the sixers for almost a decade kobe never carried the lakers cause he always had ppl on his team who could take a load off of him

[javiAIR14]

@JeremyRice3 my ass. kobe will always be number 2 number 1 michael

[JeremyRice3]

@javiAIR14yes Michael is # 1 but the thing I dislike about kobe is he too busy trying to be like Michael instead of trying to be like Kobe MJ son even said that Kobe will never be anything like or close to his dad ppl don't give Ai credit for shit Ai carried the sixers since he was 21 kobe was sitting the bench then but what im saying is Ai never really had anybody on his team that was as good as he was kobe had a supporting cast Iverson didn't thats all im saying

[frodosex]

i cried

[guitarman069]

1:28 he travels...look at those extra steps..lol

[1headie2]

Isn't he walking in too early at 0:54?

[liav4321]

hes life story is very inspiring... an amazing player

[eurix]

best nba crossover ever

[xxxheat]

AI is better than KB24!

[grinspoon1990]

@xxxheat smoking crack?

[xxxheat]

@grinspoon1990 back off you kobe fan!

[grinspoon1990]

@xxxheat better ball handler possibly... better player though? naaaaahhhhhhh

[xxxheat]

@grinspoon1990 so what? that's my opinion. you're just a kobe fan

[grinspoon1990]

@xxxheat yeah im a kobe fan... but im an AI fan too... and to say he's better than kobe is just stupid... you know you dont have to be a fan of someone to acknowledge that they're good players... i hate shaq... but he's one of the best centers of all time.

[xxxheat]

@grinspoon1990 i don't like AI that much because my favorite is shaq. AI can carry his team in the finals. unlike kobe, he need to be carried by his good big men

[grinspoon1990]

@xxxheat ummm.. AI has never carried a team through the finals... they lost bro... to kobe... hahaha.

[xxxheat]

@grinspoon1990 i said he can carry. he brought his team to the finals singe handedly. yes they lost but not because of kobe, because of my man shaq. he dominated the whole sixers.

[grinspoon1990]

@xxxheat and how many rings has kobe got after shaq? if you're telling me the lakers would have got all those championships without kobe then you're even more retarded than i thought...

[xxxheat]

@grinspoon1990 how many finals mvp does shaq have? having that award means you lead your team to championship. kobe is just riding shaq's dlck that time.

[jaazy15]

Michael Jordan has 45 Youtube Accounts ? 

[lietuvis04]

1:32 young Steve Nash

[youngthuq]

0:51 the same as jordan :)

[dwaynechai]

John Wall looks like a crappy number 1 pick compared to AI

[richkid2311]

@dwaynechai i think Wall is gunna be great but he really does make him look crappy =/

[videomaker74]

@dwaynechai yeah 100% true

[AJROCKZ123]

@dwaynechai So does Derrick Rose.

[excelentgent4]

@dwaynechai ,did you know that John Wall actually had the highest assist per game(8.5) for a rookie since Damon Stoudamire.John Wall=pure point guard,Allen Iverson=pure scorer

[runtokyoto]

i like watching his rookie year

[MrBasiQ]

Everyone in the NBA today is afraid to dribble and break ankles, after Rafer and AI left NBA point guards got soft.

[multiReact]

best crossover of all-time

[619luck95]

what's the name of the team at 2:42 ???

[RoccaN64]

@619luck95 Vancouver Grizzlies

[619luck95]

@RoccaN64 thankz

[yuvimaster]

@619luck95 76ixers

[BePatient]

At 2:23 it's not even the pass, it's the same hand nutmeg dribble on the first guy wow...

[annedon13]

MJ and AI both give different excitement when they play. Kobe now is really great. But MJ and AI will always be the most exciting players who ever played in the NBA. Thanks A.I. You will always be one of the best PG ever.

[regergekowns]

this guy is getting wasted in turkey, its such a shame

[A1loNe]

beşiktaş is lucky...thx iverson

[dmv770]

The NBA sucks without Iverson.

[imbetterthantaylor]

"michael.. stay up on him." yes real smart, play AI aggressively see how that works out for ya

[sdjklsdjksdjklf]

"Iverson this is gonna be something..HE SLAMS FOR TWO!! Lil homie was tight as hell!!

[nikke1024]

he does things no other can do.

[noedig1000]

in my opinion he is the best scoring point guard of all time

[sgardner33]

I blame A.I. and the NBA teams for the demise of his career. I think that he should have been willing to become more of a typical point guard but I also think that teams were wrong for trying to put him on the bench for players like Rodney Stuckey and OJ Mayo. No disrespect to them but c'mon.

[DaMaine205]

0:55 dude like " WUT THE FUCK MAN"

[brynjones11]

what does jackon say at the very start? "michael......"

[mysisko]

@brynjones11 michael get up on him

[srscrippler]

45 people had their ankles broken by AI

[lovre1996]

xfire.com/video/3e8876

[Gargola11NoTa]

derick rose, rajon rondo, john wall and all those Pg have to suck with this beast

[myb0wpin0y]

eeee wat...over mj?

[darkpurple100]

0:01 To skip ADS Thumbs up so everyone can see

[atrisX]

perfect crossover

[antipublic]

3:54 The commentator had an orgasm. Did you hear the "CUM" and "oh, uh, oh" HAHA!

[fetichexxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Just imagine IVERSON on HD !

[captainchronic121]

daaaaamn....AI was such a beast even in his rookie career, I can't believe how much hops he had 2 :D such a great talent, too bad they missed their shot against the lakers, but in no way was that AI's fault...same could be said about another great and certainly one of the most entertaining players to date along side AI, and that's VC...same story, different playing styles, both great, both deserving of a ring, both wasted their prime on a team that the current GMs didn't put a lot of work into

[djmoney320]

3:59 made my day he spinned and killed the guy with his ass lol

[MrJaybirdT]

Not knocking AI but anyone else notice he goes right on just about every crossover in the vid?

[louis18th]

I like the 1st clip where AI plays over MJ...

I mean AI's thought wasn't to diss MJ but to show a great player his strength

[nba2kexpert]

Tim Hardaway invented the cross over

Allen Iverson perfected the cross over

[macbookpro145]

LOL 3:54 ORGASM

[KiLLaDie4Me]

i hope allen iverson is next michael jordan

but ..... :((

[S40ot3r]

3 words: HALL OF FAME

[mdtech2010]

his Crossover make me love basketball

[Boyulut]

Michael Jordan gets owned by the little guy!

[Domini478]

@Boyulut Everybody get crossed dumbass

[Stevenm713]

1:56 Numa Numa

[HSEfrazear]

4:10-4:16 he went through all the defenders and score WTH

[peterbenedictbullo]

[TheGApro]

hope he is doin well in turkey.

[BuBaLiNgAbOii]

@TheGApro i heard hes off the bench lol

[dexvu]

ok 0:22 is fuckin ridiculous

he put hella spin on that ball

[basketball201120]

at 0:02 you can hear phil jackson saying "michael get up on him"

[ISonbabball]

the players he was doing this on..... jordan 0:01 payton 0:40 (payton was supposed to be defending him) marbury then garnet 1:05 nash 1:31 marbury/garnett again 2:12 kobe 2:44 we can even see ewing 4:07 all great players without a doubt the point is... it's sad to see where iverson is now

[WaTTzas]

@ISonbabball The fact that he owned them a few times doesnt make him better than all of them. But yeh, he was and scorer of epic proportions. Too bad he didn't have a mentallity to pull his team into wins by not being selfish,

[ntonly4u]

@WaTTzas .... Selfish my ass..... there were no players to help him....

[WaTTzas]

@ntonly4u True. But look at him with the Nuggets. He just didn't grow out of it.

[ntonly4u]

@WaTTzas yeah true

[basket9989]

@ meapual88 lol

[TheAnswerIverson3]

the best rookie to ever play since shaq's rookie season. when was the last time someone averaged 23.5 POINTS IN THEIR ROOKIE YEAR!?!?!?!?!?!

[ivesishere]

awesome

[Phatinium]

Im supposed to be the Franchise Player and we in here talkin' bout PRACTICE!

[Wyteass]

aih era um omi mermao. amo ele de coraçao

[anthdx]

LOL even a whole team couldn't stop him!

[hereforthemusic93]

reminds me of Rajon Rondo

[Celtichater]

@hereforthemusic93 how long have you been watching the NBA?How dare you compare Allen Iverson to Rajon Rondo? Have you even seen Iverson in his prime? You should see how he took the 76ers to the 2001 NBA finals.

[hereforthemusic93]

@Celtichater wow chill it, i cant believe a comment like that would hurt you so much. It's okay bro, its just a comment

[myquill23]

The Class of '96 right? One of the best classes ever.

[mickypure]

I know why he was called 'The Answer' now after watching this video. Even if he was short, he can still find ways to contribute to the team and make historical plays.

[kevindgreat3315]

AI is my hero . now he's stuck in a muslim shithole in turkey

[kelvinickable]

hey allen iverson, stop playing in the euroleague and start playing streetball

[peterbenedictbullo]

Hahaha nash at 1:32 gets owned

[gamevirus01]

lol AI treat those D's like it was streetballxD

[komersitiviti]

AI I LOVE YOU ! WE ALL MISS YOU !
