- Опубліковано 17 вер 2016
- Allen Iverson is the epitome of a trendsetter. His game changed guard play for the past decade, he introduced and popularized moves that had never been seen. As a recent Hall of Fame Inductee, AI is truly one of the game's most electric guards ever.

AI's ankle breakers are so filthy, kids switch it to porn when their parents walks to their room
Wow now dats nasty lmao damn
LMAO 😂😂😂
Lmfao
Lol 😂
Lmao
Many people don't realize that Iverson was an offensive savant. His mastery of the midrange, knowledge of unexpected and unused angles, and ability to read the defense is almost unmatched.
He gets called a chucker but in reality hes an extremely high bball IQ player
Yes, somebody gets it.
AI shot 43% from his career which if you put his career in context with the poor teammates and his natural handicap of his height, that % is fairly high. And the avg fg % for sgs is between the 43 to 46 percentile..
well, if chuckers like Kobe gives you 5 'ships. I don't see how that's a bad thing.
This video shows why A.I was and still is the best ball handler ever to touch a ball, cause by his third year within the league he only needed 1 and no more than 2 dribble moves to get pass his defender or zone defenders. Only top defenders playing all time great defense on him, could make A.I need to go to a third move, to then get to the rim or create space.
This is my biggest problem I have with Kyrie Irving, cause it seem like he's alway going into a third dribble move or sometime 4th to get pass his defender or defenders. The guy waste to much time dribbling to fucking much and he's in his 6th year within the league.
Kyrie should never have to go to his 3rd and especially 4th move to get to the rim or create space at this point within his career. Base on his speed and handle. Which is the reason why Kyrie can't carry a team as the main guy, is seriously injury prone and can't be mention within the same breath as A.I in ball handling or as a NBA players.
Rasha Tor how? he's ball handling is better and he proved himself to be just as clutch or more than A.I
One thing I'd like to adding on the hip movement part is that Iverson on more than one occasion stated that defenders always made it too easy for him to get by because they telegraphed their defensive intentions through their body language, positioning and footwork; he claimed he could read it every time. That first cross/hesi was always simply to get feedback data to see what kind of a defensive scheme his defender is applying and to see what kind of defender the guy was. A.I was also extremely gifted in reading body language to so much detail needing only a glance, a talent which extended to outside basketball when he did artwork (he was real good at sketching and sculpting, majored in arts at college)
wow, that maybe why he is so good naturally
Swish Scope h
The guy was simply, Great!
Wow.....
He seemed magical...so fast and perceptive, he read bodies and then created space.
appreciate the factoid about AI's sketching. id love a piece of art from him, that 'd be dope!
"BBOY since 83 representing Hip Hop and Boulevard homes projects nicely to the present "
All these explain Iverson in a word: Unguardable
Correction, fan girl, the word is : SELFISH
@@kingofpendragon Great! Keep going! 😂
Not sure what's better, the breakdowns or the beats
ikr
breakdowns
Atomic Void I say even
Both
I didnt watch the video, i just DANCED
Tyronn Lue probably like "Dam, Wish they had this back then" lol
💀💀💀
lol
@AUSAR AMEN RA you 100% right !
what iverson differs most from current fast players is that for the whole game he runs at full speed with or without the ball. If basketball tracked running distance like soccer, he would have twice running distance than others on the floor, and by doing so basically broke entire team defense by creating space here and there. Thats why sixers worked so well with him even though not talented they all were hard workers who fit his playstyle
imo he's the main influence of guard play today. especially now that guards don't ever post up anymore. a true legend! never noticed that he exclusively finished with his right lol. after all this time
Guards dont ever post up anymore? Guards posting up is pretty rare talent, not any more common than it is now
westbrook has added it to his game. livingston also does it.
Devoid what u said is definitely true; I haven't been watching bball for too long (maybe 5 years). I have a friend that used to be so skilled, he often mentioned AI when talking about Bball, moves skills etc
AI and MJ for me two of the best
FACTSSSS
Can't forget about LeBron
Kobe: you forgotten about me already??
Same here
@@bradleybaker9404 it's just who he thinks is the two best.
just wanna say one thing, at the part where you explained him hesitating instead of crossing over, because the defender was guarding the side where he was going to cross, theirs actually a really helpful 1 on 1 tip if you want to learn how to cross people pretty much every time with any crossover move, if the defenders guarding the ball side and not your shoulder, you should do a crossover, if the defender is guarding your shoulder, the side where the ball isn't, the crossover will never work, so you hesitate instead, so if the ball is in your left hand lets say, if the defenders i leaning his body to the rights side of your body, if you just do a hesitation, you'll beat your defender, if you cross it wont shake them really, or at all, if the defender is guarding the left side of your body, or in the middle, then thats when you would use the crossover with your left.
Been an AI fan since I was 13 (I'm 33 this year) and been playing basketball since 8. A lot of the details that you've laid out was studied by myself painstakenly back in the day move by move. I considered myself mastering AI's crossover back when I was at my peak (just the crossover, no need to flame), and your breakdown was onnn point! The mid-section of the body was the key, the selling point was really he really did move to that direction, then counters it by a hard stop (which kills your knees slowly as time goes on...believe me). Bringing the ball not only close to his feet, but the bounce it towards the right leg (he almost always crossed with his left hand), so it was pretty impossible to swipe the ball from the middle when he crosses it over.
Man...all these years, this is the only video I've seen that mentions some of those details. There are good crossovers, and there are great ones. It's the smallest details executed to perfection that makes the move unique. Good on you guys!
Wow same as me. AI fan since i was 15 and now turning 33. Im so obsessed with his moves. Practicing, watching ai videos all day.
This is the secret behind every thing. He hangs the ball by raising his elbow and shoulder along with the ball (while his hand is palm up position and ball behind his back a bit) and see if defender follow he pull the ball forward and snap his fingers to crossover and if defender not follow he does hesitation. While hanging the ball, he can go left, right, forward or pullback depending on defender movement. That's why it seems like he can go anywhere in the court unguardable.
Do u play ball?
You can sit back and analyze but once ur in it totally different...
This is the one everyone was waiting for.
You took your time and were extremely thorough not missing a thing I don't think.
The part where AI was so crafty with his forearm is lost on younger generations. These young cats watch players like LeBron drive from the top with full arm extension and think they can do it too because he doesn't get called for it.
Also I didn't realize that AI finished solely with his right hand like that.
Well done video sir.
The arm extension is done by almost every player in the NBA now on drives because of Iverson
Dime Slinger trust me it not lost if you watch any top HS gaurds in the country they got that i Their bag
AI's awareness and use of not only change in speed but differences in speed and momentum in fractions of a second to determine moves is like watching an ace fighter pilot seamlessly fly through a cloud of enemies.
with his crossover its so easy to forget about the rest of his game. like its crazy to look at how many moves and shot variations he had. almost every star uses some part of his game.
Anyone that says his crossover was overrated is actually insane. His mentality as a scorer and shot creator is unmatched till this day. They knew he was going to bust it out and still couldn’t guard it. You have to understand he had combos and counters to his crossover and moves this guy was absolutely phenomenal !!🔥🔥🔥
We most remember AI for his crossovers but damn that hesi was nasty!
check out bone collector for hesi's he's not in the nba but imo he has the nastiest hezzis
@@berthilleonard Bone Collector carries hard on some of those Hesi's but he does it so well that he hides it. I think his Hesi in the EBC days was the best Hesi ever though.
Filay's hesi is harder to guard than bone collector's because he can actually shoot on a high level
best basketball analysis channel on youtube! keep it up
the clip at 7:11 is from AI's debut game! shows how mature he was even as a rookie
With AI, his snatch back looks so organic. Every other player, the second before they do, any spectator can tell that but AI’s still looks like a drive, not a snatch back while doing it until you see him just standing there
I LOVE HOW HE ATTACKS WHEN THEY STEP THINKING HE'S GOING TO RETREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! KNEE SO LOW TOO WOW! EVEN USES RIM TO PROTECT, JUST WOW!!!!!
I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this video. Great work!
Man, the way this tiny guard used to finish in traffic, 90-00's real traffic...that was art on itself
You did your thang with this family. And the music gives it a mixtape feel. It blends well with the video and kinda got me hyped watching it. 🔥🔥🔥☄
you have the best superstar break downs on UA-cam... great videos
Yes! Thanks By Any Means Bball! I was waiting for this.
I'm crying bro thank you so much I've been dying to watch this
Definitely One of the best videos I have ever seen.

Hands down best basketball channel i have ever seen !!
Cant wait till this chanel blows up....best quality videos I seen in a while AND good quantity. I click these videos so fast
Amazing video? No, this whole channel is amazing, just subbed and turned on post notifications, nice work!
Amazing video. This is why AI will always be my favorite player. Such a crazy arsenal of moves for a guy his height. I never knew how he was able to get his shots off in the land of giants..
Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady plz! Also Penny Hardaway! thanks! subbed!
The best music for all the attention to details 💯
Best channel by far
Am I the only one who loves his midrange game?
Can you do Jamal Crawford I love his game bruh and good video man💯
do Jamal man!
Reggie Miller
Forreal dude he is one of my favorite players
Same Paul. The way he dribbles is so beautiful and unique. He looks so elusive and I practiced his shake and bake and that move is deadly. He's so humble to
overrated
YESSSSSSSSSSS! Been waiting on this ... the man!
We are the og subscribers.... Pretty soon he's gonna have 300k
About time
just keep the gaurds coming man you are such a underated youtuber but i like it that way this way none of my defenders see it :)
Great work dude
So glad i found this channel. Been lookin for one like it but noone breaks things down this well. Can u do Chris Paul
Bro I asked for this video in the comments of your last video and you came thru #salute
Show us the man behind the mask for the one time. I'm grateful for this one man. U don't even know.
Ive been waiting for this moment😈
Damn! Great vid man!
another great video. thanks a lot, man.
thank you man. great video
My game is a mix of a.i and m.j my two favorite players of all time I owe it to them for being nice and never giving up when the odds are against me
I specifically requested this one. Thanks dude
It's easy to see that you have a lot of shooting knowledge. That sweep and sway is a secret that not many people know about. Great video!
What’s so good about it
Again thank you so much for this i really apreciate it, im a Die Hard fan of him
T-Mac next please 😊
Great content, just subscribed! Also could you do some kg analysis in the future? I can't really find any good footage...
I donno these vids are done by an individual or some groups of peep but I'm sure these are hella underrated af. Imean insights and analytical dissection of every single vids of this channel are sth that are reasons why certain athletes are above others. Props
Definitely a group, as they mention "we" in all their content.
love all your videos, would like to see attention to detail on defense, like Pippin or Leonard...✌
By any means basketball! I really feel i speak for everyone when i say "WE APPRECIATE YOU AND WHAT YOU DO FOR US AS VIEWERS AND FANS OF THE NBA COMMUNITY AS WELL AS INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE HUNGRY TO IMPROVE ON THEIR GAME" You dont just break down players game and their moves but defense and pointers as well! Please feed us your intellect on the game and continue to share your prospective. i as one as much as many respect your craft! Im positive in due time other parts of basketball you will also shed light on that will make us complete athletes.
great vid your channel is awesome
THANK YOU!
God damn, this channel is the GOAT of all sports channels.
Wow, that's a nice lesson right here!!! Thank you.
This video shows why A.I was and still is the best ball handler ever to touch a ball, cause by his third year within the league he only needed 1 and no more than 2 dribble moves to get pass his defender or zone defenders.

Rasha Tor Oh Deadass Huh
100% true. It looks better, but it's not better basketball. It's the same thing when Kobe was around about how he had better handles than MJ. MJ made quick and decisive moves and wasted no movements or time doing flashy between the legs stuff like you see Kyrie or Harden do all the time.
Rasha Tor There’s a difference between wasting time and just being fast. Allen Iverson was very fast. So all he really had to do was move his BODY. Kyrie who might be a bit slower needs to use the ball for deception. Lets not forget that as time progresses players get better and so will the defense.
@@judetheman1562 Kyrie is definitely slower than AI. But his so creative and smooth with that ball.
Best channel on UA-cam.
love the vids
FINALLY!!! thx a lot!!!
Sir , I hope you'll teach everything on how to score in the mid range. Footwork,spaces,moves, and physical ability to score in the midrange.
very good video. excellent music. keep on going this. thanks.
best basketball channel on youtube
Well done!
For me the best player of All times!
Nah, chris paul
You're best video so far
WORD someone listened to the PEOPLE!!!! Thanks for making this fam!
Your channel is is str8 FIYAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!
AI was an athletic freak man, can’t really compare any guards to him other than rose tbh. Dude was fast asf at 6’0 w a long ass wingspan.
YES thank you!
The best breakdown ever.
oooh thanks!
Please do Magic Johnson next
yes his passes was insane
thanks you for best mouvement
great video
My favorite breakdown anyone else here
awesome
Hey I love your videos, but I wish the titles were smaller. I love watching your videos on a large screen, but my eyes get tired going over the whole distance of the larger text. I think smaller text would actually look a bit better from a graphics perspective too, but that's a personal taste thing. Anyways thanks for your great work!
Keep up the good work man, you think you can bring out one on Isiah Thomas (Detroit)
Highest talent to body size ratio ever. Such an influence, such a joy to watch.
I wanna give some comment to the video. I started playing basketball when I was 19 because i've always played soccer in Spain as a goalkeeper in a high level up until that age really. I started balling for fun and I ended up hooked trying to imrpove every time. Right now i'm working in my crossover and my jumpshot and while studying MANY NBA players i found something wierd that nobody seems to notice and I think is very important. If you look closely, you can see how AI (also Derrick Rose and in many ocassions D Wade) use the Split Step in the majority of their crossovers. These two are known for their explosive first step and this is the main reason. I invite anyone to check players like Russel Westbrook, Ja Morant, Donovan Mitchell, Jamal Murray and many more who don't shift their weight brom the rear leg to the front one during the crossover move. They just step and bounce the other way. It is obvious that it works for them but if anyone is trying to get a hang of the AI cross, give it a try and i think it would help a lot. AI and Rose even used it this way while chaining crosses, and adding that regular split step move to your arsenal will also improve your first step explosiveness. Anyway, I wanted to try and help anyone and while at it the faster and the lower that ball crosses the better.
SUBSCRIBED. AMAZING CHANNEL
you listened!! thanks bro
Ayeeee ten000hours! love the instrumentals, great content btw.
The Absolute Goat 🐐
Tyreke Evans also has a habit of finishing with his right hand similar to Iverson despite finishing with the same hand all the time both players can still get buckets at the rim
this video's quality is so perfect.
please make the video chris paul ver..
Wow I was just about to ask him to put this vid up
Can you make a video about how NBA players prevent injuries? Specifically ankle injuries while landing from a jump.
