There's something to be said about a guy that can drop 50+ w/o any 3's AND play stalwart defense. And that something is called: Legendary
Not to mention beign shorter than 6'0
Tony Parker
You mean michael jordan?🤣
@@undertakerii STOP IT !!! He was 6'1...SMGDH.
Against the Lakers!!!!
Lets acknowledge the fact he dropped 50 with no made 3 pt shots. This mans mid range game is amazing
MF DOOM not really volume shooter as a scorer yea one of the best
@@bigboner23 stat boys are everywhere. AI was 17/21 1st-3rdquarter in this game. Only reasons AI need to shoot many is because he had no help offensively when he was in sixers. AI is not efficient? Your argument is weak, why double or triple team or the entire team focusing their defense on you if you are not efficient? Lol to you who understand stats only
Mr. D I’m saying in general he was a volume shooter. He could have tried to be more efficient n assisted more like a Nash. But it is what it is he’s still a legend.
@@bigboner23 at 6ft. Look how tough the game was back then, who will he pass? Eric snow? Motumbo? His teammates were not scorers they were great defender. They are relying on AI too much in scoring, AI played 41-42mins a game i know you know how tiring that is. There's no threat offensively in sixers only him. When a washed up Chris Webber was traded to sixers look at what happened, AI averages 33ppg 7apg at 45fg%, even with Chris on his team AI was still the main threat offensively. The reason there's zone defense was because of AI, remember he change rules.
@@MrNB-op2lm facts fam, and it was 8 ast wit 33 ppg in that 05 06 season, he was 2nd behind kobe in scoring and top 10 in ast that year. The GOAT
The 1.5 years he played with Melo in Denver was one of the underrated and disrespected seasons of an NBA hall of famer. AI had he's career highs in most of the categories except scoring being more efficient in basically every aspect of the game.
honestly they didnt want AI in the league. They tried to fuck AI over many times, especially the media.
Imagine if they had a real coach
@@pierrelouis-charles9769 they had george karl....a hall of fame coach. Go do your research
@@michaeld6438 u just looking at wins. Nuggets with billups were a better team in every statisical catgory after the trade. Defense,assists,efficiency and the finally had a true leader that ONLY cared about winning....not scoring 30 a night. Im a big iverson fan but i cant let u sit here and make it seem like the billups trade was meaningless. The ONLY reason the nuggets didnt win a ship with a prime melo is because prime melo only cared about his numbers. Give prime melo the heart of kobe and the nuggets would have won it all in 09
David Stern BLACKBALLED him
Lmao the announcer really said, “ we know how much Kobe loves Denver , you know during the whole trial years” 🤣 wow
Iverson the answer. My all time fav nba player. 🎉
Iverson is the reason we have NBA 2K
AI is the goat. the guy has a feel to the game that nobody today in the league has. this type of basketball is way way better then the 3pt shootouts we have today. my heart just filled with love watching this.
I swear I feel this so much too, man. Dude was a generational talent. MJ worked harder... AI did this with ease, it seems. He was just hooping off pure talent and dominated a big man's league even though he was tiny... so aggressive, so fearless, such speed and blinding quickness. All time fave and it ain't close.
I know this video is about AI but it’s crazy to think as soon as Kobe touches the ball the crowd start awing and the commentators direct all commentary towards him. Bean was average 27 ppg that season..he was incredible
Hop off his Di*k bruh...KB24 was as inefficient as they come. lil Iverson won twice as many scoring titles as Kobe. & he play 6 or 7 more yrs than him.
This the year the lakers went to finals against the celtics we got revenge and swept this nuggets team in the 1st round
There's is only one Allen Iverson....And he is Allen Iverson....#legendary small off guard with big heart...# my idol forever......
most underrated ai game ever, he could do no wrong.
The same year nuggets got swapped by the Lakers in the playoffs so what are you talking about
A guy his height getting shots over taller defenders is amazing
It amazes me how just one year after a game like this no team in the league wanted him any more. Dude was literally blackballed out of nowhere. You don’t go from being a superstar to a nobody over night
For real man. They blackballed him just to turn around and intentionally fill the league with PGs similar to him but who shoot 3s all day. 😒🤷🏽🤔
@@popireal3628 exactly. Which makes no sense to me. AI was 10x more exciting to watch than these guys today jacking up 3’s the whole game
I think his personal life started getting more hectic. Stuff off the court was really getting in the way, and as he got older, I think teams started to stay away from him. A.I. should’ve played longer than he did.
I read the biography about AI. For years I've wondered the same thing. Why he hell did Denver trade him? The truth is that after the first season AI's bad habits began coming out again. Getting drunk every night n failing to show up for practice. He would constantly call in with multiple excuses or just no show all together. AI was my favorite player and the most electric player I've ever seen. Sadly he was his own worst enemy. If he had a fraction I mean a fraction of the work ethic Kobe had, I can't imagine how good he'd be or how much longer he'd have been able to sustain his prime.
@@grinchoi1 oh dam. AI with Mamba’s work ethic!! That’s a scary thought. Most people forget that they were drafted in the same year and AI was the better player for the first 5-6 years of their career
Beautiful example of skill overcoming height. Bad ass dude. Truly legendary with this masterpiece to prove it.
7:09 Melo traveled so hard, his feet got swollen.
There will NEVER be another IVERSON
Seeing iverson with a young melo is gold. I hope melo gets his ring before he retires. And iverson is one of the best ball handlers I’ve ever gotten to see. Seems like a really chill dude as well. That cool uncle with crazy stories who keeps you honest with yourself. He’s the people’s champ.
If Allen Iverson had a teammate like Kevin Garrett he would be a champion but he was a great player
I see Allen iverson all the time he comes into the Walmart I work at in Charlotte
I remember this game. AI went off but mainly because Kobe was in foul trouble all game. When he came back in the 4th, he STRAPPED up AI and Kobe took over.
Kobe’s impact was just different!
This reminded Kobe of game 1 of the 2001 finals 😂
Yes AI and Eric Snow avoided the Lakers sweep.
@@likeatree-ei8it yup the only team to do so. To be fair they also had Motumbo who was DPOY that year but he was pretty useless on offense
@@Bonescratcher Yes they gave him dpoy but he wasn't the same finger wagging Mutumbo that we knew in Denver and he certainly was overwhelmed by a prime Shaq.
@@likeatree-ei8it indeed. Shaq made him look like a chump
ELITE!!
51 points with no 3's 🐐
Bubbachuck was the coldest.
Denver fans were so quiet compared to Philly fans when AI cooked.
the reason why this team didn’t work is because for some odd reason karl played AI at the 2 guard if he would of gotten a good shooting guard and played iverson at the point they could of done some damage
Iverson is good at making shots, not making plays
@@dAbaPEsTA123 he should’ve still been the point guard
Wait, isnt Billups already part of this team too? Or he hasnt been traded yet?
@@1911Zoey AI was traded to pistons for billups. That nuggets team with billups made it to the WCF
7:45 was the best play the whole game.. driving left right handed layup with 4 defenders there to block and Kobe still got the and 1
Not at all? Better play. 3:42 was better.
You know they was trash talking on that court Iverson and Kobe legends love watching these hof MVP play rip.black mamba rip blil Russell
1:02 Carmelo Anthony 7 seconds in the paint. no call 😂😂😂
Love me some Iverson, but the Nuggets needed players to still try to get open to receive a pass, we had NO off the ball movement. No one was calling for balls with Iverson scoring.
Yep! There aren't players waiting in a stationary position with their hands out.
Iverson was an All-Time elite playmaker and shot creator, but wasn't he wasn’t a very good passer. Some of it was his size; too small and it impaired his court vision. Some of it was the fact he was a bit too thirsty to score
I remember the Twin braids duo with MELO & AI was dope too bad they didn’t make it
At one point they said he’s
17-21.. that’s insane
Iverson childhood hero when I was a kid u couldn't tell me shit lol I really thought in my head I was Iverson
came to see iverson, but that game-closing kobe buckets got me going
A.I.= The Lakers Kryptonite
It was a tough night for Jordan Farmar lol
Kobe was insane so many clutch buckets
Ai 51 🔥 📛 👨🚒
Kobe showed them how the job is supposed to be done. I remember watching this game, most of AI and Melo misses came when Kobe guarded them.
Kobe was cooked by AI too...
Al is an always be the best pg okay
The answer
That #24 kobe different "cold blooded"
With Anthony, Billups, and Iverson and team that we had in 07, I thought 2007 Denver Nuggets team had the chance to win a Championship. But I guess they had to many mistakes or something. 🏀🏀
Iverson was traded for Billups
3:53 Kobe pushed the hell out of A.I. he still got open and knocks down the jumper.
They still playing upto the last seconds...
Damn no wonder AI in Denver didn’t worked out and traded for Billups then the team got better. And Kobe being Kobe closing it out. The Black Mamba in his prime!
drive right = lay up or pass
drive left= jump shot
Performances like this is why I can't watch basketball today.. he wasn't running to the 3pt line every possession just pure bucket getter!
Two Gemini’s on one team is extremely unstoppable ♊️
This is a Kobe highlight video too
Lmao iDont remember him doing THIS to GanG’nem 🤦🏿♂️🤣🤣 r.i.p. Kobe
Shoutout to BubbaChuckk
Kobe was clutch at end game
How do you stop Iverson? You can't stop AI.
the clutch basket to put the game out of reach down the stretch was made by none other than Kobe Bean Bryant!
AI a legend but damn Kobe was THAT guy
so he got 2 points at the last quarter?
Iverson wasn’t passing that ball to NOBODY!! 🤣
I remember this game clearly that day. My uncle was saying (look at him) like 3 times. Pass the damn ball A.I lol
51 still cant beat Kobe
Daaamn David Stern BLACKBALLED AI that's why Denver Owner traded him Facts
Damn. He lost. Sick game though.
But Kobe win the game :) We miss you kobe
I knew they were going to lose once I saw he got his 51 with 3 minutes left. I was like no one else was that hot
It's not time to compare Kyrie and AI, too far.
Clamped in the 4th
Sick game by iverson but Kobe is was too clutch ruined this AI moment 50+ points and win is always better
Did you see the block on Melo lol he just ruined AI 51pts lol
Iverson was waay better than kobe..
Tough dropped 51 and still lost
@08:11 at this time kobe raise up his knee to lay up, dirty movement
sasha vujacic and luke walter did not qualify for even LA fitness. now i know why, Kobe wanted them on the count.
Then Kobe just closes like Kobe does lol
Well they still lost and he scored almost nothing in the main 4th quarter so trust me this performance meant nothing for AI..
Kobe at last
that AI MELO lead nuggets. would be better without george karl.
One of the biggest nba myths (Carmelo never had help)
Iverson was in his 12th year and Melo was young. It's like went Shaq joined LeBron.
Melo had a good cast one year in Denver and one year in New York
@@quecreations3244 iverson was only 32
@@quecreations3244 iverson still was pretty good in his nuggets stint
@@quecreations3244 hell nah it wasn't..A.I. was averaging a little over 20 alongside Melo...Shaq was putting up role player numbers on the Cavs
Kobe better than who ? Allen Iverson ? No.
Lmaoo
AI doesn't even have better handles than Steph, not to talk of Ky.
You're delusional... FOH with that stupid shit!
Ai is far away better than steph! 💯
Lost again
They fucking lost
Means nothing if you lose the game.
$lelebandzzzz
You know it's sad when you can sag off a guy about 3 feet and he STILL blows past you for layups 😂
AI had supreme quickness
John doue Quebec He meant 3ft of space not his height.
@@atlaslion5128 wat a dumbass
SNAKE EYES lool
John doue Quebec idiot lmao
He did this on Kobe. Kobe was probably top 3 defenders in the league at that time.
Iverson is simply the most entertaining player to watch ever. Lots of missed fouls by the refs.
Even at 33, AI still scoring buckets
makis papachristou he was 32
91booboo wow tho
@@91booboo Ok man
33 is still young tho
eggstreme hotsauce not in the sports world...most players hit their prime in their early/ mid 20’s
A.I. is DEFINITELY a top pure scorer of all time he was just flat out unguardable!
Faxx
this was his last great year, people weirdly shit on him for his 1.5 Nuggets' seasons but he was actually awesome there, not quite Philly level but still one of the best players in the NBA
His Denver years are somewhat underrated
He continued his dominance in Denver he had a bit better team but it still wasn't a good fit cuz Melo is a ball hog Iverson should of played with a more diverse guard/forward who could score as well then maybe his career would have ended off better. AI had a couple more good years left its a shame how the league just closed the curtain on him
@@shadyboy5090 you got to work on your game
A.I is really The Godfather of all these score first point guard💯...he changed the game
John Zada III shut up bro I’m not going all the way back to the 60s where basketball was under developed...These pgs today watched A.I growing up not Oscar Robertson
@@barkleysmall2363 so Iverson is the one who created Steph huh? Im gonna pay the answer a solution. Shit i meant visit
First off hes a 2. Secondly, 90% of pgs in nba history were score first. It's a misconception that pgs were always pass first. U had tim hardaway, Rod Strickland, mark price, Kevin johnson, Isiah Thomas, all before AI.
CPGoat #3 alright bro sure I hear you 😂...like I said A.I is The Godfather
@@barkleysmall2363 I know my history. Clearly you don't.
There’s only one word to say about Iversen simply the best
Y’all did this video just to show Kobe close them out 😂😂🤷🏾♂️🐐
Desmond Travis No just no
Desmond Travis Michael Jordan a million times better
offwhite jay not even
offwhite jay you wanna cookie for being wrong 🙃💀
Desmond Travis what can kobe do that MJ can’t? My goat got 6 rings, 4 more finals mvps, more mvps, a DPOY and would have far more points if he played 5 extra years like Kobe
Are we just gonna ignore Kobe killing it in the clutch this game?
We used to it
Yes bc that’s nothing new
That's a given
God Damn can’t never let a real nigga shine even when the 💡 supposed to be on him.⛹🏿♂️
The fact that they only added Gasol and Kobe took those bums to the Finals is more amazing
I remember my dad telling me son watch A.I. he was one of the best pg in our era I thought he was crazy this was the first game I watched A.I. play after watching this game I'm thinking to myself dang he real good
Not real good, but real great. Your dad is smart btw
Look up tape when he was with the Sixers. He carried them
Sg
@@TheIcemanthomas he played both
I feel old thou by you saying this was the first you watch AI God damn how old are you
50pts🙏 All mid-range or layup. Allen Iverson was unstoppable inside the 3pt line
Iverson was simply the best player of his era nobody came close, he paved the way for players like Westbrook and curry the he basically made the position for point shooters
A.I. always owned Derek Fisher.
John Zada III cuz of kobe not Fisher lls
@John Zada III did u not read what I said, A.I. owned Derek Fisher in an individual type of way, Fisher had a better team, A.I. is to good for Fisher to guard or stop. A.I. dropped 48 on Fisher in game 1 of the 2001 finals and dropped 51 on him this game and I can name way more games where A.I. destroyed Fisher. You're clearly just to arrogant to understand what I'm saying.
@John Zada III Well I said it in my 2nd reply, and I died laughing when you said that I didn't say individually owned because that tells me you just reply without even reading what I say.
He owned Kobe too! He always crush Kobe so the y had to double Iverson a lot or have someone else guard him because he be crossing Kobe bad lol
@John Zada III bruh you need to read what's on the screen and not do whatever you're doing. He said A.I. and Fisher.... Those are individual players. Did he say the Lakers and Nuggets/76ers? Nah he didn't. You tripping
Good video thanks
Can you do one of my first favorite basketball player Ben Gordon. 48 points vs the Bucks. Michael Redd also had 52 that game. Great dual.
they should have won this one
i wish to play with allen iverson 😎
pennyccw Yea WITH, not against. Save those ankles. 😂
He died
this is the reason why ai is better than kyrie te answer drops 51points or average 30+ points in every game also contribute assist while kyrie always show some dribbling skills just to steal the show so i still stick on ai for the pound for pound game
