Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson..... Just amazing!!!!!!

[@feroce82]

Aaahhh, those days. AI did everything showing why he was the MVP, but those Lakers were unstoppable. Nobody can guard Shaq in the early 2000, Kobe was Kobe even then. Trying to slow down one of them, means unleashing the other one, what a duo. After MJ, I still think Kobe and Iverson was the best SG I never seen on the Hardwood. Sure, there was T-Mac and Wade, but sadly their injuries left us the best of them.

[@RRRRRRRRR33]

+samuel morrison T-Mac yes, but D-Wade proved that he is the top 3 SG all time. Not only the finals when the guy incarnated a bball God, scoring 35 per game, but also he had multiple MVP caliber seasons after that. Plus he won those empty championships with Lebron that, even if they have minimum valour, they still are championships.

[@latravisgriffin]

According to Kobe haters Shaq carried him to 3 rings but 2 straight years in the finals Shaq fouls out which leaves pressure on a YOUNG superstar on the BIGGEST stage in the NBA and what does he do? DELIVERS A WIN ON THE ROAD!!! I'm a Lakers fan no doubt but loved watching A.I. also. Hell I was a fan of Reggie Miller and had mix feelings in those finals cause I wanted to see Reggie be a champion

[@abcd45600]

Vids like these need like a million views. Classic stuff.

[@alunwilliams6213]

How was Shaq the MVP of this series??? Iverson and Kobe were clearly the aggressors and creators on their teams. Kobe led his team in scoring and assists through their undefeated playoff run through the Western Conference (31 ppg, 6.2 assists). Shaq simply converted on passes thrown in to him by Kobe after Kobe had done all the hard work of breaking down the defence. Kobe was more deserving of this Finals series MVP

[@IncognitoSprax]

Alun Williams Defense, pressure, etc. etc. Things that aren't shown in clips. Shaq pretty much was the main reason Sixers lost. AI could handle Kobe and obviously not Shaq.

[@alunwilliams6213]

SpraxIAKS sorry, that's bullshit. Shaq was guarding Mutombo, who isn't known for offense. And he also guarded Samuel Dalembert. We are talking about Samuel Dalembert here for Pete's sake ! Even my grandmother can guard Samuel Dalembert successfully. Not pulling a could would shoulda but Kobe ought to have been given that Finals MVP award

[@IncognitoSprax]

Alun Williams God that team was bad. Didn''t even remember who Dalembert was or the fact he was on the 76ers for a good minute. A good guy though.

[@Maal7432]

No way. Shaq was great EVERY game.

[@MeecHieNdo]

+Alun Williams philly had to base their whole defense around guarding shaq... Mutombo was at the end of his career and they and had to help hard just to slow him down and dale beet was too young to be left... If shaq wasn't on that team they don't win that ring but with no Kobe they still woulda pulled it out not knocking Kobe cause he did his thing but shaq was the MVP

[@Hot33333333]

That trash talk moment that he had with A.I game 2 made Kobe go off like that 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@ReginaldJamalPettway3]

Allen Iverson Game is so smooth and I enjoy watching his highlights. I was born in 2002 so I was real young when he was in his prime years in the nba. I’m 20 years old now and Iverson will always be my favorite basketball player of all time. My goal is to be a Pastor do communications get my degree in communications and continue playing basketball. I’m from Austin Texas born and raised I go to Prairie View A&M University awesome university I plan to move to Houston when I get older later on in my future. It would be awesome if Iverson and Kobe played on the same team together they both would have had 30 or 20 a game maybe 40 points a game.

[@josuealvarez665]

RIP KOBE 2.24 💜💛♾

[@christopherparlin2441]

Wow takes me back to watching this game, you have to appreciate how good A.I and Kobe were during this series, both could score at will. As a Sixers fan, this game was pivotal! If they would have won this game it could have changed the outcome of this series, they were close game throughout.

Still though, imagine if it was just one or the other playing In this series, the way A.I. was busting nuts, could've just been 4 rings and one for Iverson. Ha respect to both though, I appreciate the hatred on the court. That's how it should be, no friends.

Aaron Mckie and Eric Snow both played the whole series on fractured ankles. Won't count the fact that we lost Ratliff because he was replaced by Motombo. Lastly George Lynch was injured as well. Had the 76ers been healthy Larry Brown was convinced they win the series. Sometimes luck and timing matter. PS Iverson was magical this whole season!

[@LegalizeCannabisASAP]

Rafael crawford-persaud I find it hard to ignore the possibility of this series being fubar, because of the unnamed high-level NBA executive and/or owners that were exposed for fixing the next year's finals game through the use of the refs and other games after, how are we to know they were not doing that prior to the finals. Everyone knows the amount of favoritism that the NBA shows, it gets one thinking. Overall great games but i always got in the back of my head.

Hachio Zhang Wrong....AI has a better career average in Pts, Ast, Steals...and has more scoring titles...Get off Kobe nuts

[@Lakers24bn]

Bonk Caesar Of course he has more points. He had no all star teamate in Philly. When he went to Denver to play with Carmelo he had less PPG than Kobe, so that means nothing. Kobe has better %FG, more rebounds and more all nba teams selections. AI was better than Kobe from 1996-2002, Kobe has been better since. Longevity also matters. Kobe > A.I

[@bonkcaesar9849]

AI has a better career PPG average, APG average, SPG average...4 scoring titles and led the NBA in steals per game....led the NBA in minutes played 9 times...7 of thoses were in a row oh yea he did all this at only 5'11 which is kind of why his % FG was so low....he never played with anybody that demanded a double team unlike Kobe...and never had the title of side kick

[@Lakers24bn]

Bonk Caesar​​ All the achievments you talking about where during his Philly days which basically were his prime. Of course you're gonna score more points when you play with Snow, McKie and Mutombo. A.I was a beast during that period but then he declined quickly. Kobe was still one of the best players in his 30's, like in the 2008 playoffs when he destroyed Denver and outplayed AI. The "sidekick" argument is dumb. Shaq was the most dominant player at that time and destroyed the weak eastern teams to get finals MVP's. Kobe did the work against the tough western teams (2001 vs Kings/Spurs, 2002 vs Spurs)
