The Trade That Nearly Changed NBA History: The Story of Allen Iverson's Best Season

[@Dom2k16]

This trade is rarely ever talked about (I had to find it in a book), but it nearly changed the NBA as we know it, and also led to Allen Iverson's best season.

if there's one thing i learned about A.I Is that he loves to party, arrive late to games or doesn't show up, and is irresponsible. He still loves to do all of that at his age right now. He really set the Big3 back in it's first season by not being prepared or in shape. Embarrassed himself on the floor because of it ended up coaching his team instead and then ended up removing himself from the league after the first season.

Great video! Correct me if I'm wrong, anyone, but what also terminated this proposed deal besides Matt Geiger's trade-kicker was also his health? I seem to remember he took a physical the season before, and his knee's were reportedly arthritic and " bone-on-bone." Iverson was the best " small-man " to EVER play the game, and even his admirer and good friend Bob Cousy(WOW) has said so many, many times!

[@nuthinbut100percent]

great vid...had no idea bout any of this. nice what if's at the end, and if ur already "what if-fing" then just extend it to do a 'what if the 2002 kings beat the lakers in the wcf' as should have been the case. take at least 1, probably 2 rings away from shaq and kobe, 3-peat doesnt exist, etc, etc...what does the nba look like today, if lakers loose that series... a totally different league !! (again, as rightfully should be the case.)

[@fardeenahmed3185]

7:59 'Frieza training for the first time in Dragon Ball: Super', but that training was not enough. After all the progress he had made, he would ultimately reach his limits when he met two familiar faces, Goku (Shaq) and Vegeta (Kobe). The two (Kobe n Shaq) didn't really want to work together, but eventually ended up helping each other to win against frieza(iverson).

Loved the video, hated the comment about the early 2000s Pistons jerseys. I don’t know many NBA jersey enthusiasts who don’t love the teal. It just screams out ‘90s

[@ivaneurope]

You know, it's kinda ironic that A.I. did eventaully ended up in the Motor City, but that was in 2008 as he began to decline and was mainly a reserve player. And then spent his final years uneventfully in Memphis and Philladelphia. And BTW this was one of the two unsuccesful attempts for Detroit to trade Christian Laettner - a.k.a. the most hated basketball player in college. The proposed trade which would have sent A.I. to Detroit had Laettner going to the Charlotte Hornets. But since Geiger put the kibosh on the trade, Detroit were stuck with the former Duke center. Then another 4 team deal was proposed which would've sent Knicks veteran Patrick Ewing to the Seattle SuperSonics and Laettner would've gone to the Lakers. But the Pistons bailed out of the deal, instead trading him to the Dallas Mavericks.
