1993 Nike Camp All Star Game - 18-year-old Allen Iverson vs 17-year-old Kevin Garnett RARE game
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 тра 2017
- Allen Iverson came into the camp without a big reputation, but by the end of the camp was arguably the best guard in the class. Then there was Kevin Garnett, who's jersey could barely fit his lanky frame. His offensive game wasn't as developed as it is now with the world champion Celtics, but he was still punching everything in sight.
These casual summer games are all that Iverson, a 6'1", 165-pound guard who has been favorably compared with Isiah Thomas and Kenny Anderson, can play at the moment. The 18-year-old Iverson was convicted last week on three felony counts of maiming by a mob, charges stemming from a Valentine Day brawl in a bowling alley in his hometown of Hampton, Va. Because Judge Nelson T. Overton has imposed an 8 p.m. curfew on him until he is sentenced, on Aug. 18, Iverson can't participate in the summer tournaments in which he built his reputation last year. Even if he doesn't go to jail-he could get five to 20 years on each charge-he may not be able to play his senior year at Bethel High, and his college career is in obvious jeopardy.
"Sometimes I wonder how everything got so messed up," says Iverson. "All I wanted to do was play basketball, and now I'm in the middle of all this mess." - Спорт
Man looking back on these times it's crazy that after his career was finished and you look at the players that have come after him and to make an Allen Iverson you'd have to maybe take someone like Kemba Walker but with longer arms, the ball-handling wizardry of Kyrie Irving, the flashy playmaking of Lamelo Ball, the end-to-end speed of John Wall, the quickness off the dribble like Rose, the verticality of Ja Morant and the durability and toughness of CP3. That was how revolutionary AI was. The Number 3, the braids, the posses, the jewelry, the crossover, the stepbacks, the shooting sleeves, the tats, etc...He literally changed NBA culture!
"No blood, no foul in the NBA." How the game has changed...
MJ Mann
and '90s streetball was "no autopsy, no foul" 😁

announcer would’ve been suspended for saying blood
Here's some shit for you...That's ME at :30. My grandfather, Forrest Harris, founded Nike All American Camp and Spike Lee's 40 Acres and a Mule Camp, along with shaping others (ABCD Camp). He suffers from dementia now. I think he's going to fucking LOVE this. Thank you SOOOOOO MUCH. You don't know what kind of good you've done...
Wow. Coach Houston Kennedy at the end. My grandfather remembers.
johnny millers crossovers and behind the back dish at 6:25 was top 5 all time nasty.
this video is Sasquatch level rare
GTR24 that's better than what i was gonna say
Not true at all
You can see the talent he was clearly gonna be a Star!
This footage is AMAZING!!!!
AI talent shined from teenager
Yeah, you can notice how good his handles are eventhough it was a high dribble. And he had large steps for a guard.
This is pure gold.
100Grand4eva your smile is pure gold
mindya fuckingbizness creepy ass gtfo
Guy Fisher lol creep
More entertaining that the whole 2017 playoffs.
Far more better to watch than the league nowadays. Legends!
Thanks for the upload. :-)
Iverson was dropping dimes in high school....and was a bucket 💯 combo guard supreme and locked up on defense...goat in the making...so wished he played his senior year of high school...all good...still worked out
Locked what up bro ?
They were in my city "Indianapolis" the year I was born "1993" ... That's crazy
This footage is pure GOLD!
You give Iverson guys to pass to he would pass...Croce and Larry Brown decided he was a SG, but his best years were in Denver scoring 30 and getting 8 assist...he had the talent to distribute and make guys better, but they had to be able to make shots and want it too...his best Sixers offensive teams weren't until after his Finals run with younger guys that could do stuff with the ball...we saw AI throw lobs, mentor Larry Hughes, Iguodala, Krover and encourage them to do more and they all went on to have great contracts and opportunities. He made guys like Raja Bell, Jermaine Jones, Todd McCollugh, McKie, Theo Ratliff, Snow look like starters or key guys at times.
Great footage!
Great footage! Wow! Thanks for sharing!
Pennywise over a decade always puts up rare ai footage. My all time favorite player after Jordan. Keep up the good workc
Thanks for uploading
"No blood no foul in the NBA" oh how the times have changed
Ai always Been a great passer and team player. Something the media won't tell you and calls him a ball hog
dope video!!!
Allen Iverson always been my dude, he had much natural talent back then. Only him and Garnett are remembered
so much for saying that today's players are more athletic. damn these kids were flying and rolling back in those days.
This just proves that if AI would've had teammates he could've led the league in assists.
Just stumbled across your video mate, absolutely love the content. Subbed straight away, We should connect!
KG had SPRINGS bro
this game looks like a lot of fun to have played in
AI was born for this game, great footage thanks for sharing
a handful of NBA and college stars in this game
KG was a monster also
He caught a couple on his head..... A.I. dominated and seems to be the best player in the game!
didn't have his hang crossover yet but u can see his speed was unmatched
also rare footage of iverson passing LUL
DesertHobo He got his crossover from a teammate in college ☺ look it up.
i know, he got it cause his team mate was killing him with it in practice all the time so he finally asked him how to do it.
Exactly, I grew up watching him and I remember when Rose was in MVP they said he was the most athletic PG of all-time. Now they say it's Westbrook. I'd give Rose the nod over Westbrook but Bubba Chuck is the most athletic PG to play the game. They were throwing him alley-oops and he was dunking on bigs off the two step drop and he was only 6'0 160 pounds.
Chilanta ... the thing is he wasn't even a legit 6 foot, his height was boosted like most athletes do
DesertHobo he didnt have his crossover BC he didnt get until Georgetown he said he learned it from a walk on freshman who kept killing him with it so he asked him to teach him
6:25 hit all tree of yall
Tymar Parker amazing haha
this is PRIMETIME footage right here!!! Allen Iverson was SO DOMINANT at the high school level
Who's the number 10 guy on the white team? That dribbling sequence he did at the end is so modern, it matches or surpasses Iverson's handles at that time. Iverson only uses his quickness and hesitation moves, as well as between the legs before crossin' over types of moves. That number 10 dude on the other hand, has all the Kyrie Irving tricks inside his bag.
daftman420 I was wondering the same thing. Never heard of the guy before today, and I thought I was pretty well informed back then. Guess not.
daftman420 Johnny Miller went to Temple then transferred to Clemson
Thanks for the answer. I wonder why he never went to the NBA?
daftman420 modern wouldn't be the right word to use here, guys back then dribbled like that a lot too, specially in less strict games, like all star, charity or street ball games, however social media was nowhere as advanced so you wouldn't see them anywhere as frequent as today.
daftman420 Because he was probably the only guy I saw who shot worse than Iverson... He was about 29%-32% from the field in his career!
R they
no.20 Raef Lafrentz?
12 Trojan Langdon?
14 Ron Mercer?
윤진택 I think so. I also that Patterson was Reuben (I was wrong) walker was Antwon (also wrong)
윤진택 Trajan
Txs 4 correcting. but not Antwon maybe Antoine Walker
No, it was Samaki Walker
Let's talk about #10 handles though! Geez!!
whos that #10 kid?
Johnny Miller, he literally says it in the video.
It’s crazy to see the roster and how many names that didn’t make the NBA. That lets you know how hard it is.
some rare classic throwback raef lefrentz footage.
The first time I ever seen Iverson play live in person
Tony Coleman Jr. I saw it was amazing to watch
Pels fan before the boogie Trade I turned 3 the day after this game
He was ready for the league in 93
No he wasn't, there was still growth and experience needed.
Emerson Brown Nah,he had the talent but was tooooo raw,he was very outta control when he first came in after a few years at Georgetown,imagine him straight outta HS lol would’ve averaged 10 turnovers a game
The fact that the "Nike Air White" team does not have a center called "LaFrentzon" is driving me nuts.
4:09 55% 3 point shooter for Iverson?!
They act like handles started with Kyrie
thats me when i play against middle schoolers lol
I'll put this in my vault and show my kids this in 50 years.
This game is better than the games played in the NBA today
Trust me he had the crossover back then.
Great video, even back then A.I. and K.G. separated themselves.
The greatest hoopers come out the east. especially the Carolinas
4:08 "no blood no foul in the nba" those days are over
Watch this compared to a summer league game with the ball brothers and that'll tell you how rough basketball has become
Is this that same tournament where olujimi mann played too?
The best of ever
Who is that #10 Johnny Miller in white at the end? Wtf was he doing to them on that play? Why didn't he make it big time?
Anyone know anything about any of the other players? Many looked real good
who's that Patterson having a dunk fest?
Alex Sirena - it was Andre patterson went to IU
Harjit Pabla
ok thanks. just looked him up. he played very briefly with wolves that's why I couldn't remember him.
Iverson still came out good in the end!!!
Garnett can't speak english, holy shit, now I know why he opens his mouth so much to enunciate all those hard words :)
Holy shit Iverson passing?!!!?
Please somebody could tell me which Nike shoes are they using? Thanks
Joshua Garcia
I believe I watched a documentery on Espn that was talking about Nike's start up. And they talked about how they gave these shoes away for free to the players. just so they would later sign contracts and such. that and for advertising. and it worked. that doesnt really answer your question though.
Joshua Garcia Nike Air Force Mid 1993
Is that Rueben Patterson? 6'5" Rueben Patterson?
This video has Allen Iverson, Kevin Garnett , Raef LaFrentz, and Trajan Langdon.... All (with the exception of KG) were All Americans.
What ever happened to Roberson?
Iverson clearly was ready for NBA @ 18yrs. Great to watch, dont watch the NBA anymore, the games just not the same.
Reggie miller at the game lol son came outta nowhere like an npc
I never seen AI pass this much...if he would have passed a little more in the league and Philly surrounded him with shooters omg...
Iverson before the crossover
on the red team number 20 kevin garnett and 21 antoine walker.
AI was 6'1 back then? 🤣
These two aren't the only future nba players playing. Look at those starters-
Terrence Roberson shout out Saginaw Michigan
Is that Ronnie Fields ?!!!!
whew that's some ill coppage on that there vhs..
His passing was off the charts. I wonder why he didn't run the point much in the NBA.
AntMcQueenSince88 cause he was a much better scorer
if he played in the nba today he would play point guard because they are asked to score much more now
Iverson
ain’t no 6’1
Damn #10 at the end fuckin em up
Allen Iverson wz the truth he goes hard with out using his crossover pure shooter to great speed good passing in that game that boi do what he does best he turned up ya heard me
2:42 from about 70 ft out!
i used to live downstreet from there.
rare stuff
Cool game but got to thinking about Lafrentz's career. Pretty solid at best, avg. 10-6-1 for his career. Retired by the age of 31. My point is, however, the emphasis we put on pro athletes. How does a guy that plays 10 year in the NBA, not that great but ok, somehow accrue $84M during that time frame. That's just his NBA salary. How did we get here that this is normal. Now guys make even more than that. It's outrageous and a shame. Meanwhile, Oklahoma teachers go to school for four years to teach the next generation of adults and they start out at $31K a year, go in debt $50K in school debt to make chump change. Unreal.
It's called Practce man.
Its not like the government pays for their salary. ALOT of People pay money to watch these dudes, and that money trickles down to the athletes. The owners get so much more from the revenue nba generates
Also, to reach the level where you get paid millions, you have to be reaally good as well. Like above top 1% of all hoopers.
lol they were giving AI inches back then
Iverson was the truth.
This right here 4:37
takem all to skool lol
I would of won by myself!!!
#GoatKing🐐👑 #StayInYoLane
#StayInYoLane 👆👆
LOL, KG looks like trash in this game so far. I'm 3:30 in and he's gotten dunked on more than once and I swear he just shot an airball.
Bubba wore number 11
low rim challenge
most I've ever seen AI pass....
kg..getting dunked on couple times
johnny miller better handles than iverson
This piano is wack
Iverson had more passes in this game than in his rookie year in the NBA! 🤣🤣
nice
