- The Over 30 Club convened at the FleetCenter last night, and the meeting turned into a raucous party for a sellout crowd.
The two scorers that lead the NBA in 30-point games this season, Celtic Paul Pierce and 76er Allen Iverson, lit up the scoreboard once again. Iverson just did it a little bit better.
In Pierce's house, Iverson set a new scoring record for the building with 47 points as the Sixers withstood a furious Celtic comeback to win, 106-90.
Even Pierce's 30 points could not save Boston.
"I can't win a game by myself," said Pierce, who went 10 of 24 from the field. "I just try to stay within the offense, just do the stuff I've been doing all year, just stay aggressive, go to the basket and try to make things happen. When I see our offense is struggling, I try to make things happen. But we lost the game on the defensive end."
Nobody in the building could stop Iverson, but the Celtics could not slow down any of the Sixers early. Philadelphia shot 58 percent in the first half. When the Celtics did tighten the clamps, they trimmed an 18-point Sixer lead to just four with four minutes to play.
Eric Williams keyed the run with a steal and a layup with 2:20 left in the third. Antoine Walker, who was held to four points in the first half, followed with a 3-pointer, and the C's were back in business, down just 10 heading into the fourth.
The Celtics stayed close, and Iverson helped, missing four straight shots over five minutes of the fourth quarter. A Walker theft of Iverson and a Kenny Anderson jumper closed the gap to 94-90.
But Philly had an Answer - Iverson. After Derrick Coleman (11 points, 12 rebounds) hit two free throws and Pierce turned the ball over, Iverson came to life. With just over a minute left, he drove left and pulled up for a 20-foot, off-balance jumper that found paydirt. Philly led by 10 and coasted.
"He's so damn fast," said Celtics guard Milt Palacio, who was the most effective in stopping Iverson. "You've just got to use your quickness. I just tried to bother him a little bit, just try to get my hands on the ball. But he's a great player."
Pierce hasn't scored 30 points in a game 19 times by accident. He tried to do his part in the marquee matchup. The 6-foot-6-inch forward matched Iverson hoop for hoop at times. He nailed four 3-pointers in the first half. His 24-foot trey with 5:12 left in the second quarter kept the C's within nine points. But 10 points from Iverson down the stretch pushed the lead to double digits at the half.
The 76ers' 63 points in the opening half came within two of the season-high for a Celtics' opponent. The Atlanta Hawks scored 65 against Boston in November.
Much of the damage came at the hands of Iverson. The Georgetown product torched the Celtics for 27 points in the half on 11-of-18 shooting. With Celtic defenders guarding against the drive, Iverson canned an assortment of jumpers, often freeing himself for the shot with crossover dribbles and up-fakes.
He didn't slow down in the second half.
"I got some open shots early in the game," said Iverson, who has scored 40 or more points four times this season. "I just didn't want to get into a good rhythm in the first half and not be able to sustain it in the second half. In the fourth quarter, I missed a couple shots, but I didn't get frustrated, and I was able to hit one that really helped us win the game." - Спорт
No days off for this guy... brought it every night.🐐🏀
Except it was a practice day than he took it off. Haha
@@Eman-wj8gq Do you even know the reason for that practice rant?
@@kl2389 oh yeah I was 12th or 11th grade he was missing practice or not trying in practice. It was funny also probably why he never won. Great player though.
Dude gave 120% every game
Dude carried a team with Tyrone Hill, Aaron McKie and Eric Snow to the NBA finals and only lost to prime Lakers
Not so much in practice though😁
EVERY GAME ✊🏾💯
That’s not even possible to give 120%
100% selfish=no rings
wearing his shoes today.goat 🐐🐐
Everytime Iverson shoots all you hear is swoosh!!! Absolutely beautiful
Iverson once said whenever he shoots, the rim always appeared like an ocean to him.
Nasty reverse cross 1:46
That man was destruction inside of the arc, better be glad he wasnt bigger cause he would have had post up and dunking added to his game, and if he learned to play offball more, it would have been over. I dont give af who people have in their top 5 10 15 20 whatever players, AI is 100% in my top 2 scorers.
All facts. Once he got the green light it was a wrap. He would do it at 100 mph, so you were at his mercy.💯
Oh he for sure knew how to score. I enjoyed watching A.I in 2001 playoffs. Carried those guys
He played off the ball. The point guard of the team was Eric Snow
@@ivorysteele He played much less offball than Steph, he had the ball in his hand most of the time, taking the ball all the way up court, only time he really had to resort to off ball was when the defense was like clamp tight to the point where you are pretty much breathing defenders.
@@carlfernandes4849 Eric Snow used to hit front rim all the time.His defense and turnover ratio is what kept him in the lineup.Larry Brown loved those low maintenance types (him,Lynch and Tyrone Hill)but they were hard to watch.Al had to damn near avg 30 plus create easier scoring opportunities for them combined with their defense to make it to the chip.lt worked but he needed more than Mckie and a aged low scoring Mutumbo to get over the hump n they failed him.Definitely a GOAT of the 6ft under guards
I love you AI one of my favorite players....
An amazing player...so glad I got to watch him play.
Iverson left it all on the court when he played. Pure heart.
his shot off dribble was on 1000‼️
I always say it. Allen Iverson is pound for pound the most skilled basketballer in NBA history. If he was 6 ft 6 he would have been compared to MJ or even better than MJ.
No that title goes to Isiah Thomas, but AI is definitely up there.
@@RushAnthem69 zeke can’t stand it with A.I bro. That’s overkill
@@Hot33333333 can’t stand it with AI?
My goat college player. If never give up was a person it’s IVERSON.
Iverson should of had alot of rings 🏆 a beast in the court.
#GuruBasketballKieroSays Watching Iverson in his prime was a treasure
Primetime AI, Pound for Pound The Absolute Greatest 🔥🔥🔥🏀🙌🏾
Isiah Thomas is saying where is his NCAA and NBA championship rings?
Iverson didn't resort to dirty play to win.
@@BoosterGoldEarth6 no, he resorted to street stuff that got him locked up.
Isiah only went on to earn his master's degree and being a top businessman.
Your comment is stupid.
@@123slasher.16 It takes a team to win championships.
@@likeatree-ei8it you're right, Isiah knew how to lead his teammates to titles in both college and the NBA and Iverson did not.
One of a kind
Iverson Was a monster
The amazing thing about AI is he did most of his work from 18 feet and in. In a league that was much bigger than it is today he would just take it to the rack with no fear. Pound for pound one of the greatest ever and my all time favorite player.
Imagine Iverson playing in this era
Basically Shaun Livingston but better
That's basically Kyrie tbh wit ya lol
@@dacreativebrinson66 Kyrie has as much talent as AI but lacks an ounce of the heart,grit and mental toughness Iverson had so there's no way he could perform as well against the beastie of that era like,Kobe, Mcgrady, Carter, Shaq etc
They’d target the shit out of him defensively tho in the playoffs
@@ragewayz900 and u are basically a Lebron James Fan.
Allen Iverson was unguardable bro.🤦
dam. 20 years ago
My hero
The greatest to ever do it
🐐
Awww I miss Tommy 😢 I loved it Mike & Tommy talking. I loved Tommy getting mad @ the refs , are u kidding me! 🤣🤣👍✌️🍀🍀🍀🍀 you will be missed Tommy R.I.P🙏🕊🕊🕊🍀🍀🍀🍀
Nasty.. Stilll remember the step over move on Blu vs the lakers...Shame the owner never gave him a adequate supporting cast
Pound for pound greatest of all time. he was 5’11 in a league full of giants
Iverson's jumpshot is prettier than Trae Young's.
He has one of the weirdest shooting styles I 've ever seen. Hated it back then, but it worked. Needless to say AI won me over, one of the greatest.
Love how on the very first play he deliberately does not pass to a wide open teammate, lol
love the man!!! i thought i seen his aura!
El mejor de la historia !!!!!
Damn Ai was a nightmare for any defender ever the top player couldn't guard him . Kobe at times play some of the best Dee on Iverson I've and even till then kobe would get touched as well
Best all time 🙏🙏
i just know this man can’t wait to hit 50
Pound for pound GOAT
🔥
AI at 6’6 would be insane
6’0 ft Michael Jordan
You had speedy Claxton and Iverson on the same team. Geesh
Why do I have a feeling that he can still play in the NBA? 🤔🤔🤔
Probably not as explosive, but around 8 ppg after getting back in shape
Nah, them young guards would have him feeling like a grandpa. Maybe the Big 3.
AI is the reason I started watching NBA
Because he practiced, man!
Guy played like his life depended on it.

“He did not shoot well ..overall”.. he shot over 50% from the field.
🏀Bucket Machine frfr
Yeah if AI was 6"5 he'd be top 2 to ever play the game and the difference between him Mike & kobe is AI never had a good team or running mate around him, he was the engine every night for years

This was the playoffs preview later in the spring/summer of 2002. Previous season Philadelphia was in the finals, that season Boston almost made the finals but ousted by New Jersey, sadly the finals was a dud and NBC loses TV rights to Disney (ESPN/ABC)
偶像太快了，都看不清。 永远的艾弗森。
I've never seen A.I. tip a shot like at 01:09
You could;nt guard him at all no way !
Classic
