Allen iverson just sounds like a sick name
@@Neva2Bizy ?
@@dukes4636 Allen I've your son
Yeah. Agreed. What makes it even better are his initials: Ai.. which makes it even more sicker. Lol
MANCHESTER UNITED Sing it with me boys: NO ONE GIVES A SHIT 🎶 NO OHE GIVES A SHIT 🎶
Orbital Prod. 😂
Crossing up Jordan has to be a major accomplishment for any player. People forget just how good of a defender he was, one of the best.
Very very true! I had no idea this happened. It’s an accomplishment.
no cap, AI crossed him up and he still almost recovered lol
Maik ya áhi ya no estaba en edad de marcar a nadie, y estaba de retirada
@@jaiderparra666
Cállate la boca payaso.
Eso fue en la temporada 1997.
Jordan estaba en su cima deportiva.
Allen Iverson es el mejor PG en la historia de la NBA.
@@PIP...33 😂😂😂ok Lebron fan
Iverson was definitely one of the most entertaining players ever, extremely quick and not scared to mix with the big boys
Every now and then you run into an anomaly. A.I was incrdibly fast.
Yeah, watching him I see how confident you need to be. When he’s done it’s just like wow, that was fucking savage! He comes outta nowhere like some kind of big cat striking.
Iverson is a big boy
fearless, filthy, fantastic..
Jesus loves yall, died for us, and rose again! Jesus calls for all of us to repent! He's coming back
Being crossed over by AI isn't an embarrassment, it's an honor.
he crossed mj tho
@@ShadowofHalim I don’t think you read the comment
@@ShadowofHalim yo he shook him two times. Not a good look for MJ lol
Yeah, just ask Ty Lue. 😄
@@oksnow391 mj getting crossed is an embarrassment
Only in the NBA can you be 6'0" and be called the little guy.
Adidas turned down Jordan because he was "short"
@@syn3rman65 their loss lool
5'9-5'10. Really wasn't a 6 footer.
@@syn3rman65 source? Don't believe that, Jordan was and is a legit 6'6". Not short even by NBA standards
👌
Absolutely genius he was. People will remember him forever even without the NBA ring.

Iverson was the entire offense at one point. They'd just feed him the ball. He could miss 10 in a row and they'd still run the O through him. That is legend status. When everyone in the arena and on the court knows you're getting the ball and they still can't stop it.
Yeah I think at those time AI's best teammate was who? Eric Snow?
That's how I feel with my player (created player) on nba2k20 playing for the sixers I get 33.2 ppg the teammates just pass me the ball automatically its annoying id like to see others score.
”Pass it to will" -Coach smiley
😂😂😂😂😂@@Appppy
Yeah alot of people forget a.i. literally carried that 2001 team to the finals, and then was a 1 man show in those finals.
Allen iverson is the Ronaldinho of basketball
so fucking true
AND1
Indeed!that switching
Damn true !
thats right
allen iverson reminds me of the most popular kid at school who dosnt practice but still better than everyone at basketball..
I mean...he was literally that guy
@@rakimhinds6388 no he wasn't lmao
this comment has 69 likes, im not gonna like it....
@@reloadseven2198 he never went to practice
@@tayenotfound6247 That was a joke
Iverson... At 6' tall... Carried one of the "worst" teams to the finals against LEGENDS ON THEIR PRIME!!!
He was actually 5-11. And only 165lbs. No wonder he was so darn quick!!
@@fitness4life67 I think is due to the fact he was a coreback in football
Yeah absolutely. That team just had AI and the DPOY who also was the rebounding leader, Coach of the Year, 6th man of the year, blocks leader and ranked 5 in defensive team rating.
Yess this looks like one of the worst teams ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Yashdavid51 nigga you go and watch cricket, you ain't shit...know nothin abt balling!!
Was one of the worst team ever & worst to ever go to the final....period!!!
@@pac5074 yeah. The worst team ever that also miraculously was the top seed and was tied for the 2nd best record in the NBA with the lakers 🤣🤣🤣
You should be the one watching cricket I suppose !
"Allen Iverson is the reason I am playing basketball"
- Giannis Antetokounmpo
😅
Yes
He always had that street ball touch to him that makes him even more intriguing. Not many people are successful in pro ball with that technique. Mad props
kay jay All of them are since 1995 ! Where you been ?
you can clearly see they dont intentionally allow him to do it lmao iverson was just a rare gem and was among the few handful who could execute such skills
@@Turistpazar_av u salty thas what it is
bojo perez some people just don’t understand greatness...
@bojo perez lifting crossover???? Fun fact....he doesent go above waist height, therefor it's not a travel. Unlike every PG nowadays that carrys everytime they dribble
-teammate shoots an airball
-gets an assist instead
classic iverson
w
Shut up
+Nik B noooooo
Isn't that play offensive goaltending? It wasn't a putback cause AI dunked it before rim contact
+sawyerleemoore he is on the same team, how is that goaltending? he's not trying to stop it, he's trying to put it in.
I remember being a kid in LA in 2001, and watching AI step into the staples center and take game one from them, you couldn’t help but love and respect him. One of my favorite players ever
For me he is the best NBA player of all times
Sad to tell you you got some bad taste in basketball greatness stop speaking as a casual and learn the game do you like most casual forget that basketball has two ends of the Court please don't ever make that comment again about Allen Iverson
After the Jordan crossover he went into Legendary status, at least in my book.
How the hell did he become legendary after that play he was a damn rookie! It was a signature play of his Legendary career. But that play alone damn sure didn’t make him legendary
@@TheJamck21 he probably meant that A.I. become legendary in his eyes after he watched it on this video. not the time of the actual event.
when he carries the ball for a whole second....
Not many can shame michael jordan
He is lucky he didn't get called for palming...
I sincerely wish that Iverson could have won at least 1 championship during his career...
He did in college
Tora Chan Space Jam 2
to me, I was never a allen Iverson fan, just because he was really just too good at basketball. Compared to kobe, LeBron, and all those other superstars, I personally think allen Iverson is above them in plays.
ALLEN IS THE BEST
^ you stoopid
He was so fast, quick and the moves and ball handling was insane
Lived in Philly my whole life. But for some reason in the last 2 days I been watching AI highlights and stuff. Got so used to seeing my guy do this on a nightly bases I kind of lost sight of just how truly special he was.
He had such a repeatable attack plan. Well for him it was repeatable. And at a huge cost of injury.
But my guy had a shot out to 10' , nasty layup ball control, handles like crazy, and was a prolific passer. Although he never really had guys to pass it to. So the world really didn't get to see that.
His style of play is one that I think would have transcended time.
Allen one of the few players that could have played in any Era of the sport. Including the future. Nothing he did was outside of pure basketball fundamentals
Great comment
Never forget that AI single handed took the sixers to the finals in the big man era.
Larry Brown: Head coach of the year
Dikembe Mutumbo: Defensive player of the year
Aaron McKie: 6th man of the year award
Theo Ratliff: 3.74 blk/gm (best in NBA)
Dikembe Mutumbo: 13.5 reb/gm (best in NBA)
yup.....never forget.
Then lost
He had a GREAT defensive team to cover for him. And 2001 was past the "big man" era of the 90s. I get it, you worship AI, which is fine, but lets not exaggerate that much.
Shoulda added offense instead of without it
ua-cam.com/video/a7uwM1wt2Jg/v-deo.html
I feel like he's played in so many different eras of the NBA because of the video qualities
Emilio Couchee He did play in a lot of different eras
Emilio Couchee and the hairstyles
David P. Haha true, most people would've jumped at the chance to call someone a fucking idiot. I commend the man for not being a douchebag lol
He was drafted in 96, retired in 2012 I think
CodgoneWild retired in 2010
He will always remain as one of the greatest legends and big hearts in NBA history.
The Answer - one of the dopest nicknames ever
If you mean dope as in Dopey you're right what was he the answer to? and what was the question dumb nickname really really dumb and Dopey
My favorite NBA player. He used to make people look dumb guarding him. He puts you on skates and can hit anything.
facts....this dude was absolutely something else entirely💪💪
people often compare kyrie to allen because of this lol
Me too
@@samuelhuck4137 Literally they're the same player except one blows up his teams and isn't loyal while the other is.
@@samuelhuck4137 kyrie compared to iverson 😂 u can’t be serious man . Kyrie can’t touch AI stop it . I get the comparison because of the style but ones a first ballot hall of famer other isn’t . Not even close
It was honestly next to impossible to guard Iverson, he is so ridiculously fast, and had amazing ball skills.
***** Bill Russell played in an era where there was 6 teams and he was the only 6'10 guy there, if he played in today's era, he probably wouldn't even make the league, same goes for wilt
micky IV That's the dumbest comment I've ever seen made about NBA basketball. Please, do the collective UA-cam audience a big favor and just shut up.
Carlos A Oh you mad, that I pointed out the truth? is your ass all sore now, I'm sorry, next time I'll just keep my sharp tongue where it belongs, feel better now?
micky IV it's dumb because you're taking out the principle of probability. lol.
micky IV And you continue with your idiocy, using an adhominem in place of an actual argument. I'm not mad, not mad at all, just pointing out the fact that you're completely inept at everything basketball. If anything, your response suggests anger, not mine! XD
I have been a Sixers fan since Iverson was drafted. The real ones know that being on this planet watching this man play. Was a blessing! Just unbelievable. And happy Marc Zumoff is retired. Although I miss hearing his voice game day. I had the opportunity to meet Marc. Amazing guy!! Best of luck my friend! And AI thank you for all the childhood memories of watching you play! You were my idol! I never wanted to be like Mike. I wanted to be like AI.
Preach.. he was my childhood idol, the reason I picked up a basketball.. im a huge basketball fan.. but no matter how old I get.. A.i will always be my favorite player of all time #TheAnswer #TheGOAT
In these clips alone he scored on Jordan and VC, two of the most athletic players ever to play the game. Nuts.
Really wish he had won a championship, deserved it in my opinion
Anyone but Kobe and Shaq and 2001 and he probably would've gotten a ring.
toudal89 Didn't Kobe and Shaq in 2001 steal the games from the Kings or was it the Blazers?
damiester1 that was 2002, they went on to beat New Jersey
The NBA didn't love him, smh man such a great player
+Francisco Castillo he could be one of the greatest.
+calcio delpiero he is one of the greatest
+calcio delpiero weee Alessandro questo si era uno dei piu grandi x me
He probably sold more jersey's than anyone during his time so it's not like they had a vendetta against him
fuck NBA
My top PG of all time. Ball handling. Elite scorer. Playmaking. Top 20 career steals leader. Heart of a lion.
Philly native born & raised and still today when I watch over clips, can’t help be remember we had one of the best PG’s in the league. And they’ll never be another A.I.
1:37 May this mans ankles be in the arms of the angels.
R.I.P
😂😂😂😂
he looking at the refs for some help

he dropped iverson in the next possession
Most underrated power forward of all time
how is he underrated, everyone knows AI skills
He's not a power forward lol
"power forward"
PG bro

The Little GOAT that could.

Iverson reppin my hometown he was a beast on the court and on the field....
Allen Iverson may not be THE greatest of all times but he's damn sure 1 of em!!!! 👊🏾
Greatest pound for pound scorer the NBA ever saw.
3rdEye not true, MJ
Not true. Many were better
@@dredrikTIMMONS that's why he said one of them, fucking donut
TheRealist 811 nah, I’ll take MJ at 195 lbs over iverson at 165 lbs.
that shot on Carter was so impressive, i dont think i could re create that with 100 tries
he looked away from the rim and then shot it. crazy
Ryan Terry it's not like it took skill, it was pretty much luck.
xFriiCTioN
it was a mix of Basketball IQ, Athleticism and took some skill because you still need to give the ball the perfect touch to make that
xFriiCTioN
I still question why my comment got so many likes
Simply The Best
Man i love this player so much,so insprir8ng ,get a unique flow
The greatest little man to ever play the game
***** Nah not even close. Isaiah Thomas and Chris Paul are way ahead of Nate. Nate is really good, but he's not up there with those guys
I agree with Mike..Isiah carried his team in the playoffs at times..
He was 6 foot though rite? last time I checked thats not tall
Joeal Joseph Yeah we were talking about little players. CP3 and AI are both 6 foot
MikeHunt Sorry I meant to say 'thats tall' not 'thats not tall'
6 foot is quite tall though rite
To all those kids who aren’t the tallest or most athletic, work hard and you can be like him
he is definitely extremely athletic
But he didn't practi-
@ZSP
"Talent will only get you so far"
**Makes it to the HOF**
Honestly, it's amazing to know a player of that caliber made it that far in his career.
Despite thr heavy minutes and being the only scoring option most of his career, he endured it, even if it was for not.
Huh iverson was so athletic he would have has a football career if not for the nba (real fact)
or just be the quickest athlete in the league by far. I saw AI play live his rookie year and compared to him, everyone else looked like they were movin in slomo. as quick as he looked on tv, tv still didnt do justice to his quicks
He is a legend
Always been my favorite player. He's a huge part of why I started playing, I was the same height at the time and have always loved street ball. Seeing this makes me want to look up my local rec league and get back on the court!!
The greatest player to never win a NBA championship
nope,stockton was better pg
@@gonzaloacosta6670 errr... Iverson single handedly took a crap 76ers to the Nba finals. Stockton had a great team around him
My man. He’s my hero. With or without any rings. He redefined the game. You can’t teach heart! He is all heart!!!!
Also them twelves on Jordan n them questions on the answer! Basketball has never looked so nasty!!!! Illin...
Imo sir Charles...
One of the greatest player or Point Guard of all time
he was sg lol
He was ..... at the late of his career when sixers don't have a good sg he moved to a sg position
says the person with zelda as their profile pic. allen iverson is a sg
why did you call me twelve in the first place lol allen iverson is a sg i grew up watching him play so i am not 12.
TheAnonymousGamers51 look he is a sg too but everyone who's watching him play knows that he is a true point guard who also can scored a damn lot too .... but he is known for his assist and steals .... and also in the all star game he always pointed in a pg position so I have to say though he can both play as sg/pg but he should be known as a PG ....
Iverson had tremendous energy and never afraid to challenge oponents bigger and stroger than him. I think the lack of champs affected his legacy no matter how good he was.
ua-cam.com/video/JgKN3BuvC3E/v-deo.htmlsi=LExm15RGdt_8BLAa
Jesus loves yall, died for us, and rose again! Jesus calls for all of us to repent! He's coming back
Easily my favourite basketball player of all time. For this guy to be barely even 6 foot he had to be super tough to get knocked around the way he did night in and night out by the monsters he played against was incredible. He didn't cry or bitch and moan like these girls do nowadays he just got up again and again night after night and showed everyone that if you're good enough at something then size doesn't get to stop u. Seems like a humble down to earth guy and I've heard things from people who've met him say he's an absolute gentleman and I believe every word of it. He was a dog in his day but so chill in his mature years now.
Number 2 should've been number 1, and the double fall cross should've been 2, only reason that was number 1 was because it was Jordan he crossed.
wow really ...
2 was harder
Tywanna Grice well I can tip dunk like that (btw I'm 6.1 too) and believe me its easy dunk.For iverson "in his prime " its not even a highlight . But if you cross(2 times) the best defender in nba history(M.J) and score 2 points like its a easy thing its the one of the top play in nba history
akali kemal like I said that's y it was number 1 because it was Jordan u proved my point
akali kemal he tipped dunked over a center and power forward as a point guard
I saw a post on Facebook that asked "who would win Steph curry or Allen Iverson" Of course AI
+SayItAintZay That would be a great 1 on 1. I'd give it to Iverson, due to the fact that Curry has a more team oriented game, whereas Iverson has a more adaptive game.
That said, Iverson's ability to change his game and the fact that I give AI the athletic advantage as well, I believe further supports my stance.
+Jdiggy77 agreed
If ai starts out then he wins
+Joe Kidd did you seriously just say Curry has better handles than Iverson?
+Miguel Mendoza ikr Allen Iverson has probably the best handles of all time.
This just brought back so many memories for me as a kid going to his games. I just love him 🤍
This guy was madly great. His speed, handles and timing were just precise. GOAT 🐐
Iverson is like a those legends in In NBA2k15 park
Hahaha very true.
Grammar Over 9000
the best player to ever played.
Players that should've won at least one championship- John Stockton, Ai, Steve Nash, Elgin Baylor, Malone, Barkley, Pistol Pete, TMac , Vince Carter, Gilbert Arenas + Dominique Wilkins.
+Kareem Elwakil Most of these players were victims to the fact that Jordan was in the NBA. Hakeem and Clyde would be in this list too if it was not for Jordan's baseball years.
+Kareem Elwakil Don't forget C. Webb and Grant Hill.
+kATOsTaRiS Probably not Grant Hill. He didn't play injury-free long enough to say that he deserved a championship. Yeah he was really, really good but I don't feel like he deserved a championship as much as others. Same sentiments for Brandon Roy.
What about penny hardaway?
+Kareem Elwakil Patrick Ewing, Dominique wilkins , Karl Malone,, for sure
0:43 _”What a show by the little guy!”_
Allen 6ft tall. lol 😂 in the NBA
He is actually 5”10.75 but with shoes he is 6ft
Allen Iverson in his prime days was always exciting too watch. It’s like you knew he was going to do something great every game. Truly one of the greatest shooting guards of all time. His impact definitely changed the game 💯
2:00. I like how he says "Iverson" right in the rhythm of the music
A.I and T-mac the forgotten soldiers that never got a ring
Malone and Barkley as well...I wish Barkley and Iverson played together w/the sixers during their career.
Very nice compilation!

All time favorite payer. Respect to the Answer 🤙🏽
GOAT Handles
kyrie irving is 2nd
Kyrie is a beast....but he doesn't even have the best handles among active players bro.
home guava Jamal Crawford definitely has better handles than Kyrie....it's not even close. But then there is Steph who, at the very least, handles the ball as well as Kyrie. I think Stephs handles are a touch better, but since Steph hatred is so trendy right now I understand if some would disagree.
yea jcross has 2nd best of all time prob
Dayne Joseph Personally I think Kyrie has more "killer" crossovers than Steph, for lack of a better word. But Steph seems more creative with his handles
1:25 when breaking one ankle isnt enough
My man's shoulda left the game right then and there.
Didn’t he double dribble?
@@oraziogorgoglione1446 no
Shit!!!
ShufflesMcGee1 I would have left the earth lmao
that is amazing, such a pleasure to watch :-)
That clip against Jordan was fire 🔥
Sad that Iverson never got a championship. Sometimes you got to go back and look at videos like this to remind yourself how great he really was
23rd Like.
Well the way he play is stupid that is the NBA not an street game NBA need teamwork not ball hugging.
@@Inero_01
Um, WHAT!? Your comment doesn’t make any sense at all, and it doesn’t even have anything to do what I commented on
Iverson is my favorite player (along with MJ), because with him I dreamed that a person of normal stature can do extraordinary things in the NBA ..
In life before the talent necessary luck to succeed, Iverson was not so lucky..
Thanks Allen, you are the best ever seen in relation to your height !
SigOakley Basketball was his 2nd sport, he was even better as a Football player I’ve heard from some documentary. Luckily he chose to go pro in NBA.
He was a fighter, and imagine him had he been a bigger guy with them skills, he would kobe or jordan like. He could take a hit in speed and skills and still have plenty.
Wingspan is more important than height, his wingspan is 6'3"-6'4". He was also the quickest player in the league, you can't do much about agility, or lateral movement. Or your vertical jump, which was definitely not a weakness for AI. Or body control in the air, AI is one of the greatest ever in that regard. You can't really train these that much. He was physically lucky in some aspects, to the point of being a freak of nature. And I always say that if you are a starter in the NBA, and can play with the level of intensity these guys play for 2 consecutive seasons without your body breaking down, you are a freak of nature. Even if you are an average looking gut like John Stockton. Some things are genetically determined. Nowadays people think they can just train to shoot like Curry. Yeah he trained so hard, but he is "neurally" superior in the first place, it helps his precision and release that takes more than just hard work. Physical advantage is not just height.
Growing up at my school it wasn't Jordan, it wasn't Kobe, it was Iverson. A.I was IT! We all had his shoes on the basketball team, wore his Jersey's, tried to play like him, everybody else took a back seat. He was so fresh and exciting to watch. He'll always be my favorite.
Iverson dominates the game without a gifted body, wingspan, athleticism, or height. The reason he's so inspirational and popular among kids because he gave hope for those who are short and who are not born gifted he can dominate the game by just relying upon his work ethic, techniques, and more intangibles that can be made by working hard.
I hear what you saying but he was gifted… extremely long arms, big hands, and close to 50” vertical… he was smaller but extremely athletic
LMAO, that last move on that MJ. Sweet. LOL
When I saw number 6 I thought that that should've been like number 1... but then I kept watching. This dude was unreal.
Tbh I thought so too, even after I saw the others
Growing up, I was fed what the media gave me. AI always acting up at pressers and whatnot. Then I watched his Documentary and understood what he had been through. Very Very Eye Opening. What a player. Weaker men would have never made it. He's unreal to watch.
If you didn't see this man's career and impact on young black men like myself, you missed a treat. Thanks Bubba Chuck for showing hood kids like me you can do anything. Salute.
pound for pound, the greatest basketball player of all time, AI baby
Totally agree, my favorite player ever, that crossover is unbelievable, ask Jordan,lol.
*****
you did read the part where i said "pound for pound" right? even lebron said that dude lol
right about that dude. what did he weigh? 170?
David Ho
Honestly, 170-180 MAX. dude had heart and inspired anyone who thought they weren't big enough or strong enough to make it in the NBA.
Greatest I don't Know, One of the Greatest definitely
Pure athleticism wise second to none. His speed and explosiveness was insane
My all time favorite player to watch. Couldn't take your eyes off him!
True legend of the game. Kept it real and always stood 10 toes when confronted with hardships.
Pound for pound this guy has to be considered the best player in nba history talent and will-to-win wise. I mean imagine him with James Harden build, let alone Kobe Jordan and holy shit if he had a lebron build lmao that's crazy. This guy was insane for a 5'11 guy who can jump out the gym and do it all offensively smh
if he was 6'5 or 6'6 he would've been the next real Jordan. im not talkin bout just a look a like either. he would've been just as good
Sun Spot yeah I always thought about that too. Hes basically a shooting guard trap in a point guards body. If he was 6'6 it would be way easier for him to dominate on scoring and also on defense.
if he was a bigger build he wouldn't be as fast or jump as high. that's like saying if jordan/lebron was shaq's build.
Bryan Li No it's not because if Iverson had a 6'6 build he could still dominate with just shooting. Not to mention his driving ability skyrockets. Plus it opens up even more for his teammates. Keep in mind everything he brings to the table in terms of skillset
Isiah Thomas was better I'm afraid to say. Better passer and way better shooter. And by far a better floor general. Zeke was a true point guard.
Iverson was good, but he was no Isiah Thomas.
"Dude made fools slip on some oil slick type shit/some Caution Wet Floor banana peel type shit."
roscoegino .......
+Dos Neckace lol lakers fan
Gay a'f
Man I miss seeing him play! I'm glad I got to grow up watching him! My favorite player/athlete ever!
Nice compilation
One of my fave players of all time. So entertaining, so electric.
I always waited for 76er games for this guy. he has those moves I have never seen in NBA before him, best dribble in his era.
I could watch this video all day long!
He always put on a show and made games entertaining to watch!
No other player at 6' tall, has ever done what he did. He was fearless.
3:03 Phil Jackson: "Michael... D up on him".
Good ear man! I've never heard that, makes that moment even greater
I think he says get up on him.
Cool asf
mike couldnt hold AI
A.I. 🔥🔥
I'm 30 in december, born and lived in the uk my whole life, I have never been into basket ball but I have been down a rabbit hole on youtube and I'm pretty sure I'm a fan now? I may have to start following the NBA games live. Pretty excited to start following a new sport!
Love it!
What a legend! Best crossover EVER!
Is it weird that i consider him my favourite player even though im too young to have watched him in his prime?
no
bruh i wasn't even born yet in his era but he's my favorite
nah man I was a little young to fully remember his prime as I'm only 24 but still my favorite player of all time. 6 foot nothing 180 lbs and to dominate like he did is just to impressive
Bc he's the man my dude. Glad u recognize the answer
Grandmaster Deluxe my favorite player it's Larry Bird so...
All RESPECT! One of the all-time GREATS!
Loved watching this guy, he's so fast with the ball 😮
That 8th play is crazy,
All the while mid-air going backwards looks behind him to pass the ball, then hears the foul whistle so, instead -still in mid-air - shoots and scores without looking. Insane reaction speed.
Should be number 1
fuck man. only jordan can get crossed over then come back with a solid contest to the shot.
he almost blocked it lol
+Kolby K yep, totally great move made by AI, but man, kudos for jordan for that block attempt, thought I was the only one. >.
+Adorable VB only reason why Jordan was remotely close was because of the height differential.
He shoulda blocked it, he had 6 inches on AI
+Darrell Henry let's be fair though, that cross over was filthy and michael had to shoot back from going the completely opposite direction.
Thank You Allen for laying it all out on the line for your team
I remember when these top 10 first came out. What a treat it was to get indulged in a 3 min clip reliving the best moments. Who remembers Jordans top 23 plays?
This man was literally the reason I started working on my crossovers, and was a successful PG in Jr college. I didn't have height to be competitive at a higher level, but did Alright with what I had. Standing only 6FT on my "best day." His movie/documentary was pretty good if you guy's haven't seen it, I recommend it. Overcame a lot, and I hope the rumors of him being broke aren't true, since he worked so hard to get where he was. Nice upload.
Pitbull82 OFC he's really broke bc these ppl don't get financial guidance when they need it. They spend their yearly salary like they'll keep making that yearly for the rest of their lives like idiots...on top of that, anyone from a shitty background is going to have a ton of leaches on their backs when they get paid when they should cut them off and transform into a real lifestyle that suits them!
Pitbull82 it was a really great doc. his really is broke but I think hes getting back on his feet with the magazine covers, appearances and now reebok is releasing his shoes again. lol I actually just bought a pair a month ago. I remember growing up everyone else wanted jordans I wanted iversons im a true fan and they are comfortable
nakamine1713 Yeah, these young Pro athletes should all get financial advisors, preferably, former player's that have been in their unique position. I don't remember the exact numbers, but there's a high percentage in both the NBA and NFL of players going bankrupt, not long after leaving their leagues. Mega stars like Iverson, LeBron, Kobe, and the likes of them are even higher paid than the rest of the millionaire's, so that's a lot of temptation for them. I couldn't imagine being 19 with a 90M dollar Nike contract. (LeBron James.) I would have blown it all, no doubt.
Dom Brown I seen that he's coming out with shoes again. I'm happy for him. I will support whatever he comes out with in the future, as much as I can. I did the same thing with the shoes, instead of Jordans, I'd buy his shoes. Hopefully he gets set financially, once again. He still has star power from the people who watched him play in his early career. Loyal fans.
True he left the league too soon. they kinda did him wrong before he left the league
Who still watching this in 2020 now?
Allen Iverson was great for The 76era🔥🔥🔥💯

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE LEGENDARY ANSWER!!!!!!!
