Tyronn Lue Great Defense on Allen Iverson - 2001 Finals Game 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- One of the most overlooked defensive performances in Finals history. Iverson killed the Lakers through 3 quarters, then Lue comes in and holds Iverson to 3 points in the 4th quarter. In the end, Iverson comes through in the clutch during OT to pull off the win, and he hands the Lakers their only loss of the 2001 Playoffs. And of course, it culminates in the famous step-over on Lue.
everyone remembers the stepover- but Lue overall did an amazing job on iverson that series. as an iverson fan back int heday- i remember hating lue for being so damn tenacious, like delly was on curry- he just wouldn't accept the other guy was better- which is the attitude u need to be a great defender.
Sir they doubled him every time he touched the ball lue didn't do much
+Rip Bg how can you say something like that with such confidence
+fahmyboy1 look at the game sir
+Rip Bg Lue has to be good enough to funnel Iverson to the double. He also got five steals. And in any case, you double the star of a team. But he's clearly hounding him better than any of the other players
yeh its like "i know you are the better player, but i will make you work for every single inch of space"
The most incredible thing in this vid is Shaq hitting a free throw at 9:50
he was pretty clutch in the playoffs actually i hated that but respected it i really wanted AI to win the chip
ፐጀጀከከደደኸ
😭😭😭
😅😂
for those of you saying lue only had great defense because of the double teams, look at how lue is defending iverson off ball.
Faxxxxx bro
Nah
Iberian scored 48
the best defense i ever seen someone play on prime Iverson.
Yea he was holding him. U clearly could see him holding him half the time he was defending him off the ball. Are u blind? Holding isnt defense
I've always said this. Lue was incredible. Shame everyone remembers the step over. But I remember Lue.
Lue deez nuts
You remember him holding and getting away with murder?
You know Kobe is old when his teammates are now head coaches.
+BRBallin1 instead kobe posed an actual threat to the spurs home streak while people his age are coaches, thats what separates kobe from players from his age
+TheTVChannel Kobe is terrible. The only good players Kobe's age are Tim, Manu, and Dirk
TheTVChannel Lmao, he still shot 36% for the season, plus this was before the 60 point game (on 50 shots). He still wasn't that good this season. Most other people with those insane scoring performances do it on well over 50% shooting. His team's entire gameplan was give the ball to Kobe and let him do whatever the fuck he wants
TheBDHShow hes 37, he went out like a legend, stop hating find a life or a woman
+TheTVChannel I'm done hating, I'm really done with the topic of Kobe as a whole
man you always hear about Tyronn Lue getting stepped over, but i never knew he was actually playing such brilliant defense on AI and totally locking him down. people should really watch this video before mocking lue for the step-over, the man was absolutely balling. +Nobody Touches Jordan props for uploading such a great video.
How did he lock him down iverson scored 40 how tell me how how sway how
Of course it would seem silly to suggest that anyone was "locked down" had he scored 48 points. However, if you watch the video more carefully, you will realize that Tyronn Lue had not been guarding Allen Iverson the entire game. He only entered the game with about 5 minutes remaining in the 3rd quarter, prior to which Iverson had already scored a staggering 38 points(30 in the 1st half and 8 in the first 7 minutes of the 3rd). Before Iverson went pure legendary and scored 7 straight points at the end of overtime, Lue had limited lverson to 3 points from shooting 1-8, while blocking one of Iverson's shots. Even if you do count in those 7 points, Iverson's stats with and without Lue on him show a significant difference. Iverson scored 38 on 15-31 shooting in the 29 minutes without Lue, and scored 10 on 3-10 shooting in the 23 minutes with Lue guarding him. While his FG% didn't suffer greatly, the discrepancy in Iverson's FGAs show how Lue's tenacious defense was affecting Iverson. Not only was he harassing Iverson into passing or taking hard shots, but his off-ball defense also prevented Iverson from even getting the ball in numerous plays, thus reducing his FGAs.
If you examine Lue's defensive efforts through the above mentioned perspective, rather than simply citing Iverson's 48 points, you should agree that Lue did an amazing job on slowing down one of the best scorers the league has ever seen, and if you exclude those two epic minutes from Iverson at the end of OT, you might even concede that, for a brief 20 minutes, Lue had indeed "locked down" the great Allen Iverson.
Perhaps I have exaggerated by saying Iverson was "locked down" in one of his most iconic games and one of the greatest finals individual performances ever. I was merely trying to stress how indignant I felt for Lue for having his career largely defined by the step-over, when he in fact was playing world-class defense on one of the deadliest scorers in that particular game. But I must apologize if my use of words have in any way offended Iverson's legacy. Thank you Jose for picking out my mistake!
+Jose Zepeda rekt
i really was surprised, iverson was know as being the quickest player on the league with best handle and from the video he had some difficulties to escape from indivudual tyron lue defense.
i'm curious to know how good tyron lue's defense was in the other games.
I've always known exactly why Iverson reacted like that watching that game. Iverson stepped over Lue out of pure frustration because Lue was doing a great job playing defense on him.
- Iverson in 2001: All-Star millionarie
- Lue in 2001: Some guy with nice defense
- Iverson right now: Broke
- Lue right now: Cavs and Eastern conference All-Star game head coach.
+Mati Collado if getting 1 Million a year by Reebok is being broke then I wanna be broke too
Lol really shit I need to be broke as well.
Lol Lue is a booty azz coach. He doesnt even need to be there, Lebron coaches the team. Soon he'll be fired too with his AI wannabe bitch ass
And I guarantee Iverson still got more money.
You forgot that Lue had a championship with the Lakers.
in the current NBA, Lue would've gotten called for a foul every play
Refs were supposed to call a few of them then but it's documented that AI didn't get calls when certain refs officiated. Weren't allowed to hold players in the early 2000's either
Lue was holding. When a man running away from the basket an you still holding his arm thats holding.
+HipHopLover93 R&BLover93 Tim donaghy dumbass lol. Why don't you look it up? It's well documented
+notknowing Where's the proof on him fixing this game and series? The Sixers got DESTROYED fair and square.
+HipHopLover93 R&BLover93 "Overrated Iverson?" Get the fuck out.
The only way to contain Iverson in his prime was denying him the ball or do your best trying it. TBH Lue's defense becomes effective when AI get tired after 3 quarters with Kobe on him. That's happen when you're helpless and none of your teammates can be called a scorer. We all see that in this year Finals where LBJ feels the same situation.
Right on brother
I’m from the future in 2022 so you must be from 2016 and lebron came back 3-1 to beat the warriors so he showed up
Except Iverson drove away every scorer the team put around him.
His team lacking scorers was entirely his own fault. Oh, and McKie was most definitely a scorer.
@@notavailable4596 which scorer did iverson drive away exactly? you say bs like this then fail to provide examples. mckie averaged 12 PPG !!!! worst scoring sixth man of the last 27 years don’t get me wrong mckie was an excellent perimeter defensive presence but he was definitely NOT a good scorer.
@@kue1930 You don't know anything about basketball.
I'm a lifelong Sixers fan. Look up the scorers they tried to pair him with sometime before you talk this nonsense just because you're an Iverson stan. Heard it for ten years.
I'll give you three. Stackhouse, Jimmy Jackson, and Derrick Coleman. Three of the best scorers of their generation at one time or another. You're clueless.
And if you don't know what a talented scorer McKie was, then don't talk. If you don't know how impressive it is for a player to average 12ppg off the bench playing with a ballhog while being completely unselfish and playing solid defense then don't talk. Stop slandering other players who gave up their own stats just to make your boy look better.
Hi, my name is Tyronn Lue and I will become the head coach of Cavs 15 years later!
🌚
Hi, my name is Tyronn Lue and I will become the head coach for the La Clippers for 5 more years!
🤣 Lue was feeling himself. Told Iverson “That’s 2…”.
Reminds me of lebron and his old cavs teams. Double or even triple team the star shamelessly because you're not worried about his wide open teammates who will miss the wide open shot even if they have the stomach to take it in the first place
+HecticEthnic your right lol delante west is a well known NBA scoring specialist/machine lol
+HecticEthnic ...
+notknowing the 2007 lebron cavs and the 2001 iverson sixers are very similar, 1 superstar, bunch of crappy players
+HecticEthnic The Sixers were better defensively in my opinion. Offensively the cavs were a little better though.
***** Yeah thats true. They are both examples of why it takes a complete team to win a championship.
Lue did play great off the ball defense. but other than that he had help from the double team everytime. This was pretty much the Lakers vs AI.
Love the fact that LeBron addressed the defensive effort that his coach put on AI in one of his recent post game interview, and not just the step over. I respect the hustle even though it was apparent that Lue was getting tired by the end of the game.
I will neva forget this game, I was 15 yrs old in the 10th grade., me and my friend made a bet on this series., I came to school the next day talking mad shit lol...great game..I loved that whole Sixers team..esp my baby. A.I
Tyronn Lue broght his defence game to Cavs no wonder they've won the NBA 2016 comp
see.
he also had jordan as a team mate with the wizards , he has to learn something from him too plus in this game is has ordan shoes
+adrian gonzales I never knew Jordan played on the Wizards honestly
Angela Price ._. u kidding right?
+Payozz no
new headcoach of cavs in action
Haha I just typed in Tyron lue in UA-cam when I saw that
+Derrick Rose's Left Knee I don't how they gave Lue a multi year contract this quickly. This situation is sketchy, LBJ is eventually going to be a player coach, he already is right now but I mean like player coach like Bill Russell.
+Deadlygangsta apparently Lbj wanted Lue as hc for for awhile. i still dont think it means the win a championship this year 😂
Derrick Rose's Left Knee oh hell nah...no way they win a ring
Kaleal Ennis its either warriors or spurs
this was great team defense. lue spent more time holding and grabbing than moving his feet
Anyone who watched this series “live” would know see the night and day difference Lue had on Iverson. All these other kids who saw the step over years later won’t ever know the whole story.
This is eerily similar to Dellevedova's defense on Curry in game 2 and first 3 quarters of game 3. Pressure the superstar off the ball to keep them from getting it, swarm with a double team as soon as they get it (Iverson)/double team off the screen (Curry).
Delle wasn't holding and grabbing curry tho. Curry would've got the calls if so, unlike AI
+notknowing True but Iverson played it in the handcheck era and this is the NBA Finals, so I could see why he didn't get the calls.
Thank you and God bless
They braids look painful
+nicholas davis Do you feel better telling me that?
I miss that NBA on NBC theme song. That brings back so many memories!!!
How many people can lock down AI, the greatest scorer of all time, for that long? We probably won't see another Tyronn Lue for a long time.
No one credits tyronn enough cause of "the step" that's all he's known for.... But he fell after the shot cause he tripped watching the shit go in. His ankles weren't broken. He played amazing deny defense on the best ball handler in the nba
No true AI was busting all there ass 3 ppl was on him the hole game still drop 48pts #heisphilly #ai3
+Jamal Wyche I wouldn't say say Kobe forced him 41 shots to get 48 points I say that's pretty good defense from shot jacking perspective
+Rob Bandoy i wouldn't say it was great d if he needed help every time AI got the ball
20 years... still remember like last month....
Lue actually defended AI well.
Iverson would never be able to coach a team to an NBA Championship, Lue is impressive, he was a great player and now a great coach, Congratulations to him and the Cavs for an unbelievable win
I’ve never seen a team lack shot creation like those sixers did , that shit is insane. I don’t know how AI did it , and people wanna bring up his efficiency . Who is going to shoot 50 percent playing with those offensive liabilities?
Damn the Sixers straight ass son. Without AI i dont even think they could win 1 game back then. They sleeping on Iverson's greatness!
I agree with you on AI's greatness ... but Aaron McKie was 6th man of the year, that year. Mutumbo was the defensive player of the year, that year. Eric Snow was a beast with the floaters. Ratliff was Ibaka at the rim protection. They weren't the Sixers of today.
Mutombo already lost his prime at that time
Sean Khorolsuren Mutumbo was the Defensive Player of the Year ... that year. That means he was the best player, defense wise, that year. He was the same age MJ was, when MJ won his final championship.
Everyone's body is different. I agree with Sean, Mutombo was past his prime and could not defend Shaq. He won Defensive player of the year because of the block shots but he couldn't do that shit to Shaq
Grim Reaper One does not win defensive player of the year because of their blocked shots alone. Shaq would have won it if that was the case ... being that he averaged more blocked shots than Mutumbo. In 2 years, Lebron will be passed his prime, and the same age as Mutumbo was in 2000. Does that make Lebron trash? He can't defend Steph Curry now, does that make him trash? LA was a force in 2000, but Philly still won more games. I don't understand why people try to make it seem like Iverson had no help.
Allen Iverson's reaction @ 14:18 haha
😂
you already know the outcome of the series watching this game... sixers had no other options other than iverson... you cant win a finals game with only one scoring option... they just got lucky to pull off the win... but still credit still given to sixers for giving the toughest battle for the lakers that playoffs....
They didn't get lucky iverson was just too good
He was the reason they had no other options. He couldn't play with other scorers.
if only A.I had a decent help from his team mates, the series would have been different
That team was a great defensive team, AI don't like to pass so no point adding scorers hes not going to pass to
+Bob Jones (DaSoloHan) He passed in Denver with Melo who was definitely a star
Mmmm. His team mates can't shoot. You can see the misses in this video.
Bob Jones guess AI have some trust issues
Nah hes a player who prefers stats over wins
A.I averaged 35.6 points/game..Ty did an OK job considering the facts.. but let's not forget how the whole defense switched up the approach after A.I scored 48 points in the 1st game (why he only scored 23 the next)..AND a HUGE fact still remains - A.I WAS the team, there was nobody else to really be worried about, in this sense.. when Ty was in isolation 1 on 1 he caught hell..it was thru rotations and switches that made his job a lil easier
Facts
This is why I respect Tyronn Lue smo much.
Look at how the sixers collapse when Iverson gets cornered and have his teammates takeover. Funny that his teammates are the ones who collapse when they are perfect attendance in practices. Lol
😭😭😂😂😂
I’m a lakers fan and I still love this game
back in the days when the game wasn't so soft and you could be more rough without fouling.
The post game interview lol..."he was holding me the whole time"
Mane y’all betta stop playin wit Tyronn Lue even tho Iverson my #3 favorite player of all time Lue helped LA get they back2backs defensively
Iverson never get ages....he still looks the young
+David Beltran what he was making a point about age and a dumbass nigga like you who us insecure about yourself decides to call him a fag even though he said nothing gay dipshit
+jalen dawkins lol haha
David Beltran I'm shleep cuh lol
+jalen dawkins ur funny man enjoy ur ugly lil girl and ur ugly wife
David Beltran I'm schleep cuh but I'm too young to have a wife of course you wouldn't know because in Mexico you are forced to marry young. You came from there so you assume everyone does that. Welcome to the U.S well see ya later because trump is going to kick you out
and the legendary moment falls on 11:30 Lue didnt got his ankles broken he just fell down but allen is still damn amazing love him so much that really cant be compared to the current nba
that defense was a thing of beauty
no wonder.. why..cavs win.. lue is a monster when it comes to defense..
watching this makes me appreciate AI more. He carried that 76ers team on his back, i mean how the hell they even make it to the final with eric snow, aaron mckie, mutombo, jumaine jones, raja bell.
Because Eric Snow was a good guard. Aaron Mckie was 6th man of the year, that year. Mutumbo was defensive player of the year, that year. And granted, Raja Bell was a rookie, but he was no scrub.
Probably would’ve been a better Finals if they had a young athletic Iguodala. Unfortunately he wasn’t in the league yet at that time. Also felt they should’ve kept Larry Hughes. Those 2 guys would’ve gave the Sixers better scoring without losing any sleep on defense. Cause they both can defend.
They were all pretty much injured, including AI, but that team is ash without AI
LeBron is not even thought of at this point but yet ppl still wanna throw shade on him and make comparisons... Shows how much ppl go out of their way to hate on one man
AI had no help. Beast!!
IDK what yall are looking at. 1st few plays was help defense, double teams, traps and bad passes. A lot of effort and playing the passing lanes, but He didnt lock AI up on the ball ISO'd 1 time. Lakers played GREAT TEAM defense, and Philly was over matched. set poor off the ball screens to free AI.
The dude who posted this video is crazy! He had 48! No superstar in history wouldn't have won with this team!
I remember this game, and never forgot Lue's performance against AI.
If you watch how Lue Ds AI up, you'll see the clear difference in officiating then and current. He uses a lot of hand-checking and holding off the ball (which AI did comment on). It was only a matter of time, however, before AI would find a way to break through in a clutch with 7 straight points. Lue's defensive intensity would've got him 3 to 4 fouls in today's game, so he would've had to back off. From there, AI would've cracked 50 to 60 points.
All that shit was illegal then to. AI just don't get the calls. That's why AI was complaining about it
+Jamyson Daggett my thoughts exactly. Hand checking was illegal by then, but they did allow a lot of contact in this game. At one point, Iverson even fell down but still no call. But all in all great defense by the Cavs coach.
great offense always beats great defense
You've just turned it around lmao
lue was on Iverson hella hard til he got crossed and Iverson stepped over him like I'm king of this crossover shit bruh.
Mostly double teams, but good off the ball defense by Tyron Lue.
that stepping over Lue maaaaaan
For all Lue did, this was the only Game from March on where the Lakers did not end the game with Derek Fisher, and it was the only game they lost during that entire period. Derek Fisher ended up destroying the Sixers by the end of this series, and in all honesty Phil Jackson kind of did Philadelphia a favor by shying away from Fisher in this game. I'm no Laker fan, but had Fisher had his regular game that night, the 2001 Lakers would have been the only perfect team in NBA history.
Iverson had the greatest hall of fame speech. If you haven't seen it check it out.
back in the day when I was young I'm not a kid anymore
Damn he was holding. I dont know if thats good way back 00's .
lues defense on that last possession of regulation was great
Iverson was all alone
SOLID DEFENSE THE WHOLE GAME. I see guys talking about double teams. That’s part of the game! He had 5points and 5 steals in just ten minutes. While locking one of the best point guards ever up. We don’t give this guy the respect he deserves. Shit crazy, how the only thing you hear, or see about this game is when IVO stepping over Lue.
if lue didn't play this great defense on Iverson he would've won this series single handedly.
Future hall of famer ty lue
Lue could never stop ai
+Luis Munoz who could?
+Luis Munoz he did it for a great amount of time
+James The Rep Reviewer kawhi leonard can
+James The Rep Reviewer Lmao exactly no one could
He locked his overrated ass up.
Braids vs braids
wow Tyron had good defense ...... good to know!
ivy was right. lue was allowed by the refs to hold iversons arms like crazy.
philadelphia should have sent this series to 7 games and not a sweep.
nba needs large markets to win chips for money. what else is new.
great video yo
Lue did very well
Lue in this game became the Antithesis of Iverson.
The reason why Tyronn fell was because his foot stepped on iversons so he fell down, but lue did do good defense on iverson before the stepover
lol Kobe and Rick Fox defend AI for 3 quarters, of which, Iverson maybe rested 5 minutes. Then Lue comes off bench fresh having not played all game. Any real hoop fan knows Tyronn Lue and Matthew Dellavedova are the same guy lol
On point lolol
+Miesha THE GOAT Tate I remember this game I watched it live. the fact that I'm black doesn't validate your point on discredit me at all. the argument was never about player efficiency. it was about t Lue and bum of a player getting over credited for the work Rick Fox and Kobe did. thanks fo revealing your inner racism, may God bless you
+Miesha THE GOAT Tate I'm pretty sure AI scored 48 this game also.... Dellavedova was a starter in last year's finals, Tyronn Lue never started a single playoff game.
+Miesha THE GOAT Tate wtf is "intelligently sticking" to AI. Never heard anyone use such idiotic terminology to describe aggressive defense. This is the classic example of someone, trying to sound smarter then they actually are.
They basically put two men on Iverson. All defense pressure was on Iverson. You can clearly see it. Lakers had many great players, but 76ers only had Iverson as good scorer.
No way Steph curry would be able to do what AI did during this era. Everything Ty Lue did would've been a foul today. Unbelievable will to win AI had
+Mohamed Al-Nabhan Steph would've probably let it rip from half court to avoid contact
its damn near a crime for philly to not give ai help. he literally had dudes nobody else wanted or who wouldnt start anywhere else
He did have Mutombo, who was another elite player.
He had an old mutumbo lol
That was prime Mutombo. In 2001, he was first team all defense, the defensive player of the year, an all star, and second team all NBA. Not to mention this Sixer team has the 6th man of the year in Aaron McKie and Coach of the Year Larry Brown.
That was not prime Mutombo, though it was still a good Mutombo. He only won DPOY because he was the best rim protector on the best defensive team, but they already were the best defensive team before they even traded for him when Theo Ratliff got injured. Prime Mutombo was the one that terrorized the Sonics. Aaron McKie winning 6th man was simply a by-product of A.I's play, when A.I wasn't on the floor with him, he wasn't standing out at all, the numbers showed. Larry Brown winning the CPOY award was legit though, A.I bought into his plan and it did wonders.
That 2001 team had no specialists whatsoever on offense besides A.I. On defense they were superb though. At the time 3 and D players weren't even a thing, but if they were, I could imagine how much better things would've turned out. More realistically, I know this is a lot to ask for, but having an elite two way big would've been HUGE for the Sixers, I wish they had drafted KG instead of Stackhouse in 95, they'd still be bad enough to get A.I since Stackhouse's rookie year was much better than KG's. Just goes to show how hard it is to build around a player like A.I though.
Mutombo was still second team all NBA
I never thought Tyronn Lue would ever be a LA Coach..Clipper coach that is...
Ty lue great holding job
I ain’t realize how quick laterally lue was😭
No wonder IA step over him, he frustrated him
Good team defense is what I saw
gooood defence by lue
Lue played good defense but I seen a lot of double teams on Vo
uh, he's getting help every play, that's called a double team. other than that he was holding him every play
Tyrone Lue wearing the Concords
he held AI throughout the whole series..
what a great guy and now.. his brought cavs to became a champ as a coach
Tyronn Lue is pain in the ass of Iverson..great defense of Lakers and tremendous game for sexers at the same time..
Great defense on Iverson what do you mean he dropped 48 points on him in game one
I was trying to find videos of tyronn lue because I didn't know he played in the nba before, and accidentally found the video of iverson stepping over a lakers player. I've seen pictures of it, but never knew where to find it
Cadê a maravilhosa defesa? Dois marcando um e mesmo assim o Iverson encontra passes e mete bolas.
I saw the Lakers trap A.I. and Lue play great denial defense. The 76ers offense was atrocious. Next to 0 spacing and it was basically, get the ball to Iverson, if not, chuck up a shot.
that was how every team played. it was a slow tempo iso heavy era.
oops I think u forgot what happened after Tyrone Lue played decent defense on Allen Iverson he broke his ankles and stepped back for a jumper and hit it and then Iverson stepped over him and people say that it is 1 of the best revenge plays of all time!!!
He didn't snap his ankles though
Wow, 15 years ago, Iverson was a superstar and he earned 100million in his career, and Lue was an underdog.
Today, Iverson gets broke, but Lue is now the head coach of Leborn James and the Cavs.
Such a drama :)
Lol
+linkedout iverson is not broke, that article that said he begged for money was a hoax, he was seen at a club with clothes and jewelry and hot bitches a month ago
+linkedout Iverson's close friend and personal accountant put over 15 million dollars in an interest bearing trust fund that he can't take for X amount of years. Iverson is far from broke dude
Robert Horry>Magic Johnson
Since rings are everything.
SuperKool500 rings only compare when skill level is similar
Lue did a good job by letting Iverson score in a hard way
Cornrows vs cornrows
unfortunately as a sixers fan the reality was, neutralize Allen Iverson, neutralize the Sixers offense, the rest of our offense was weak compared to the lakers and their players and bench presence. I watched the game 1 defense when Lue came in on iverson and how they shut him down late in the 3rd quarter and 4th. And A.I. came in the clutch in overtime and got it back. But the rest of the series they continued to shut A.I. down with Lue and the Sixers offense was no match for the Lakers.
AI was never shut down just wasnt quite enough to stop shaq
Kobe is better than AI, but nobody has the courage of this little man, one of the toughest foes in the history of the game.
Lol kobe is better than AI at playing dirty and overall defense, thats it
this really shows you how soft the league has gotten
what? how? this shows you how bad those Sixer's actually were not the league being soft
He's talking about the amount of contact allowed on defense. Lue would have fouled out in one quarter, if this was 2016.
Nah basketball is scripted to the point.
Not to take away from AI greatness but there's no way in hell that Sixer's team should've been in the finals. Bucks would've been a better matchup
Outside of AI that team was trash. Mutumbo ain't a scorer either SK don't say his name. AI had nobody to at least score double digits
Great defense? "He was holdin me the whole time" -A.I.
