@@shaunakkulkarni4679 u cannot compare Westbrook to A.I💯 Westbrook is in my opinion extremely underrated and I love his game, his shit talking, etc.. I'm just saying that if A.I never did it the way he did than the Westbrook's and Dreymond Greens wouldn't be doing what they doing
I have ALWAYS said...pound for pound A.I. was the best who ever did it... and just like we give Kobe points for the " Manba Mentality" ( respectfully) ... what value do we place on A.I.'s heart and willpower?!?!... it was so prolific wenever named it... it is just who he was
And unlike other teams the 76ers fumbled when they didn't build around him. If he had another shooter and some players that can play good defense and score he would have had more than one ring trust.
Don't disrespect Steph bro . That shit he did in the all star game was legendary... Mfs tried and couldn't stop him . Mf doubled him and still couldn't stop him lmao
and because of that heart he was able to take 1 game of prime shaq and kobe by himself,a team that went unbeaten in the postseason and finish with one postseason loss only,thay was like bron solo 51 vs the dubs without jr smith trolling
Iverson's statline was 15-10-5 and it was enough to win All Star MVP - amazing how the game has changed in less than 20 years. And btw East didnt trail by halftime, East led by 2 pts. Still a great story about AI.

for what its worth AI won an AAU championship as a teeny bopper, at Bethel high school him and his teams won the Virginia state championship in football and basketball where he was the star and leader, in college at Georgetown him and his squad won the Big East championship. He aint get a chip in the nba and he didn't get olympic gold but there's no doubt he's absolutely a champion.
That is what missing in the all star game of the present. Kobe and AI will go at it bcoz of their competitive nature and elevate other guys competitiveness. Present all star game are just 3pts shooting and never played defense at all
Back when the All Star Game was competitive and enjoyable to watch.
Woooooo!! Yeah!😎😁
Not that shit they serving us nowaday.
need to get back with east-west format, current pick-up style is not competitive
Back when the NBA overall was competitive and enjoyable to watch. I don't even bother anymore. I just watch highlights and sports shows on UA-cam .
It was VERY competitive in the 60s and 70s
love his passion doesnt matter all star game or not.. you gotta go out there and win..
just dont talk about practice..😅

@ai papi or his best friend died and he was injured which is why he missed 1 practice. They ran narrative
Allen Iverson was such a unique player. Natural talent
That's the kind of All Star game we all deserve
Ai has the heart of a warrior
When players loved the game more than money
When the All-Star Game meant something. AI always had the heart.
Allen Iverson had just as much killer mode and Dog in him than Jordan and Kobe that's why they both love and respect the F out of A.I for a reason
When the players actually competed
A.I is a legend even lebron listened to him damn
AI gave 110% to the game
The guy will club all day and soon as game time come 43 points 8 assist 5 steals
Nobody will ever bring the kind of heart this man brought, Kobe, Bill Russell, etc... That's true love of the game and the players around u
Westbrook was the one who brought that heart in this generation. Always played hard even if his game declined.

@Vibing music he wasn't taking anything away from A1, he just through another option in HIS opinion out there.....chill out
Westbrook and Butler but they’re demonized instead of celebrated.
@@DumphUxTV who demonizes butler? Wb deserves it with his petty ass.. kicking fans out all the time now
AI was a dawg 🏀
The moment of all-star is competitive
Rest In Peace, will never be again.
BUBBA CHUCK!!!!!!! Goated 🐐
Real ones know
I have ALWAYS said...pound for pound A.I. was the best who ever did it... and just like we give Kobe points for the " Manba Mentality" ( respectfully) ... what value do we place on A.I.'s heart and willpower?!?!... it was so prolific wenever named it... it is just who he was
Kobe and AI were kindred spirits bro..fucking ruthless
There will never be another AI beast!!!!
Back when the all star mvp was an actual note worthy accolade
AI the Man who played the Game as if it were his last.
A competitive all star game what a sight to see dudes actually tried to win and play defense
AI wasn't fine with the west 😂
Gotta respect him for not hopping over there, he didn't pull a lebron
And unlike other teams the 76ers fumbled when they didn't build around him. If he had another shooter and some players that can play good defense and score he would have had more than one ring trust.
@@Yt4_tw he doesn’t have a ring unless you just meant he would have heaps of rings?
@@Its_King_Ace Bron has a ring in the East and West 😂
@@Its_King_Ace winning in both conferences is a notch on his belt what are you talkin about?
He became the EAS backbone
They didn't have a answer for him 😮😮😮
Don't make em like this no more sad 😔
I remember that all star game I believe Iverson and Stephon Marbury took over the 4th quarter to win the game Iverson was on that night
Exactly that's why hes my favorite player of all time 🏆🏆🏆👑👑👑
His passion and competitiveness in a real match were immeasurable, except practice. 😅
Havent had an all-star game like this in a long time.
My Idol. Pound for Pound best guard to lace them up💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Pound for pound the greatest ever.🎉
A young Charles Barkley said that A. I. was fearless.
The Goat
The end of an era. Peace out all star games from now on.
The best era in basketball
If AI would’ve had MJs height … it’d been a totally different story .
bro if he mjs height it would literally been unfair to the rest of the league
AI, what an incredible talent
Today’s game: we don’t do that. We hoist three pointer shots from the logo and we call that great All Star weekend.
Don't disrespect Steph bro . That shit he did in the all star game was legendary... Mfs tried and couldn't stop him . Mf doubled him and still couldn't stop him lmao
My 🐐
Only all star game I've ever seen, staying up all night to watch it at 5am was greaat
Because he is a beast 🙌🙌AI3 for life
Dude was barely 6’2 competing against giants toe to toe , crossing up your favs and goats lol he’s the king David of basketball
When the best of the best wanted to show who was top gun by playing their ass off.
and because of that heart he was able to take 1 game of prime shaq and kobe by himself,a team that went unbeaten in the postseason and finish with one postseason loss only,thay was like bron solo 51 vs the dubs without jr smith trolling
You will always be my MVP .❤
All Star games was real back then they was all competing every guy
Great great games
AI3
Legend without a ring
I think they should go back to this.

Him and kobe 🎉🎉🎉❤
Never thought I would hear this track and anything to do with the all star game
I love the older all star jerseys
I miss when they wore their team jerseys
for what its worth AI won an AAU championship as a teeny bopper, at Bethel high school him and his teams won the Virginia state championship in football and basketball where he was the star and leader, in college at Georgetown him and his squad won the Big East championship.
He aint get a chip in the nba and he didn't get olympic gold but there's no doubt he's absolutely a champion.
Back when we had real ones in the league. Now they all friends so ....🤷🏾
ai had the barry sanders experience in the nba. earning hall of fame status was his championship
Need the USA vs the World format so some of the players will care.
Cuz he wad the answer....that simple
Cant coach heart and passion. That's Iverson.
I do miss when the All-star game was no defense in the first half...and the 2nd half was a real game
You wouldn't dare miss the All star games back then. Now I forget about it.
He skipped practice to perfect his motivational skills
Hahaha
Real one, stop the bs and win at any cost
way to say you were a dumb coach without saying you were a dumb coach
U can tell who great coaches and good coaches
AI WAS BORN A LEADER 🥇🤩
It sucks that Iverson never got a ring and im a spurs fan
LeBron: well I know he ain’t talkin to me, he talkin bout y’all
A DAWWWGGGG
Now all-star games are ChatGPT 3
Give me my NBA back!!!
My goat
F "PRACTICE " dis game time, now talk dat bs, it's time to BALL., & they won that game. ✌🏾
Stan van Gundumbass for even thinking of benching AI
AI is simply top 10 just bc of that fuckin step back lol
It wasn’t competitive every year but they played a lot harder compared to days game. DWade even broke Kobe’s nose.
This was back when players took the All Star game seriously. Today, the ASG is just 🚮
I think A.I. and Starbury went off on Kobe in that game, if I remember correctly correctly.
G-town ✊🏽
🐐🐐🐐🐐
Without practice either 💀
I seen Goat James on the eastern team a course they won 😂
Kobe goat
Most of the hall of fame caliber players were in the west
W
Now they don’t even try to compete in all star game
That was SVG’s championship
Everybody dont have heart!!
I've been collecting his cards since 96.
Legend
That is what missing in the all star game of the present. Kobe and AI will go at it bcoz of their competitive nature and elevate other guys competitiveness. Present all star game are just 3pts shooting and never played defense at all
Its more about player attitude to asg than anything
Ai “ Man aren’t y’all like tired of the west and stuff”
The only all star game where you can truly say that really matter if every good player in da league was on 2 teams
Can't blame them man lol they got Kobe, Garnett, Duncan, etc. All in their primes
All star Hoop went soft shortly after-
I say that with hope of it being more competitive next year too-
And LooK @ how the Players play in the All-Star game today
Its a Dag Gone Shame that there is no competitiveness today
SVG just told on himself. Why do the assistants have to tell you to keep him in.
Needs to go back to east vs west. Still keep the charity thing and 4th qtr ending
💪🏿❤️🏀
They had to tell you NOT to take AI out 😮😮😮😮?????
A.I. would have been like Lamar Jackson in the NFL if he had gone that route.
At least it wasn’t practice💀
the all star games proved if ai had legit players around him, his team would win 9 times outta 10
Rip mamba and Gigi 🥺🥺🥺🥺
This is about A.I not Kobe.
