Kobe Bryant NEVER forgot Allen Iverson after this game *AI 41pts (1999)

AI scored 41 points on Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal the Lakers and that's a wakeup call for Kobe
NBA
And AI as a competitor, he drove me to be as obsessive, more obsessive about the game, because I had to figure out how to solve that problem, you know? And I told him -- I saw him here this weekend. I said you don't realize how much you pushed me. And I don't think people nowadays realize how great you were as a player and how big of a problem you were for defenses. Happy for them both.

Kobe never forgot about Iverson after this, because it wasn't a practice. It was a game.

we all know they only used an excerpt from that whole interview and it was completely out of context,but its still funny to talk about.The NBA hated A.I thug persona and would do anything to put him in a bad light.

Just as long as you know the true meaning being that rant.

+Steven Tinker (aMOODIEsteve) The meaning behind it was that they had him sitting there in a POST-GAME conference asking him about practices when they don't matter at that point in time because he's playing his butt off.

Now imagine if AI were 6'6" like MJ and Kobe and had at least one other superstar-level sidekick on his team, like a Shaq or a Pippen.

[@marcmarc9962]

Han-Gwon Lung Shaq is not a sidekick

[@jponz85]

Wouldnt be as quick as he was in his own height.

[@spacecitytx3464]

No. He was perfect as his center gravity was very low to the ground thus giving him the innate quickness and sharp speed. Think about it this way: he was like Basketball's Messi.

[@UFOsarerealArea51]

Fuck a scottie pippen

[@vernonleewarren280]

With action on the court like this, and Chick Hearn doing commentary makes me miss the good days of nba basketball. True by the end of the 90’s rivalries started becoming more individually personal and not team to team, but it was still great to watch.

[@war1won500]

I followed AI as a kid from Georgetown playing with Victor Page to his NBA debut. AI is one of best players I've ever seen. Man I wish his team would have got one ring. Of course the NBA made sure that would not happen. Man I miss those days. Jordan, Kobe, Allen Iverson, Shaq all in the league at the same time.

[@phildel4924]

Had the distinct pleasure of chatting with him up at Footlocker on City Line Ave. Truly a great player but a true humble man. He is an iconic symbol in Philly and always will be. We love ya Chuck

[@pennkun]

I just noticed that in this game, Kobe' crossover looks like Iverson's. I feel like players in those days were modeling their games to Iverson because he is too good
