Everything But The Chip: The 2001 76ers

This retrospective takes an in-depth look at one of the most eventful and rewarding seasons in 76ers history. The talented team made it all the way to the NBA Finals, led by 2001 MVP Allen Iverson and 2001 NBA Coach of the Year Larry Brown.

[@riccolaw655]

Allen Iverson had an immeasurable impact on the NBA culture that still resonates to this day. One of the best ever.

[@drewainge1059]

Huh? How. AI is one of the most overrated players ever. Seriously, immeasurable impact? For a player who is all "me", "I". Im the star, im the starter, why would i practice?, why would I come off the bench , evennif coming off the bench is the best for the team , butts heads with the coach, antagonize media? Look at who his "ways" have influenced: melo anthony, james harden, westrbrook, maybe kyrie (without Lebron). Last time i checked, they aint winners, "me" attitude, cant accept coming off the bench past their primes... immeasurable impact on what? He has a cancerous personality in a team, "me" over team, style of play cant win... yes he is barely 6 ft with a big heart battling giants but that is about it.

iverson was the entire team. i watched this series. the entire team around him worked hard, but they were basically out matched and outskilled vs kobe/shaq. so unfair honestly.

[@joweydelanota7421]

Half of the team was injured in that series.

[@krissifadwa]

I still can't get over at how amazing 50:51 is; only because Allen Iverson was coached by Larry Brown. Larry Brown was coached by Dean Smith. Then, Dean Smith was coached by Phog Allen... and finally, Phog Allen was coached by the creator and inventor of the sport we now know as basketball, which is, James Naismith. They practically kept passing their skillset and techniques of the game, through generations... and it shows in Allen Iverson's IQ. Especially after his 2001 NBA season. That means if Iverson were to coach in some form or fashion. Just know he's passing on something to you that was handed by the inventor of basketball. Pretty mind blowing, to think about.

My childhood hero. I went from not giving a shit about basketball to being out on the court every day until 10pm on a school night.

I didn't realize Iversons greatness until the tail end of his career. Best player under 6'0" I've ever seen. Quite possibly one of the best athletes the NBA has ever seen

[@JJ_5289]

Iverson had his flaws but he was an athletic freak. football star in high school. Probably could have starred in any sport. amazing balance and quickness. We have seen other great little guys but I have not seen any little guy attack and finish above the rim relentlessly like a young iverson. There was that, and he never seemed to get tired while playing huge minutes and getting knocked to the floor regularly. Its not like he was getting great rest and recovery,/nutrition between games either. Didnt lift weights. He was out drinking and partying a lot. Eating taco bell, hot dogs, soda lol

A.I your my basketball your HERO, and the only I hated Lakers so much at 1 point coz of that who also felt that pain back then and when they started changing perspective after that memorable 2000-2001 season; especially those who gave to the organization but the slogan itself provides a different like trusting the about what trading those guys who already had solid team chemistry just like Larry brown and pat would ever imagine it only took what 2-3 years to accomplish and go for rebuilding. Then Nuggets Happen. that's why all of the karmas that plague 76ers till now was because of that betrayal of trust by deciding to rebuild. But still thanks the answer for making me imagine ever to play like you like having that shooting sleeve even though imma leftypeace out.
