- Allen Iverson keeps scoring and the
Philadelphia 76ers keep winning.
One night after a 41-point effort in Philadelphia's most
lopsided win of the season, Iverson scored an NBA season-high
and career-best 54 in a 107-103 victory over the Cleveland
Cavaliers.
"It was like he was playing horse tonight," said 76ers guard
Aaron McKie, who had 20 points and nine assists. "His jumper
was deadly."
Using mostly jump shots, Iverson went 20-of-30 from the field.
He also hit 10-of-13 free-throw attempts en route to his third
career 50-point game and first since February 6 against
Sacramento.
"When your jumper is on, the basket seems like an ocean and the
basketball seems like a rock," he said. "That is the way it
felt tonight.
"My teammates are the ones that set the screens for me and got
me the ball in spots where I need the ball. My coach calls the
plays and I wouldn't set a career high without those guys."
The 1998-99 NBA scoring champion, Iverson broke his own Gund
Arena record for points. He has fond memories of this building,
having scored 50 points in a 125-118 loss in April 1997 after
being named Most Valuable Player of the rookie game at All-Star
Weekend that same year.
"Coming here is something special because I remember I came in
here and won the MVP of the rookie game in 1997," he said. "All
I heard was boos and didn't understand it. I always look
forward to coming back here to play in front of these people."
The 76ers extended their winning streak to six games and
improved the league's best record to 24-8. They have won eight
straight on the road, three shy of a franchise record.
Theo Ratliff chipped in 12 points, nine rebounds and nine blocks
for Philadelphia, which was coming off Friday night's 121-89
home rout of Seattle.
Despite Iverson's 54 points, the Sixers could not shake
Cleveland, which closed within 103-99 on a three-point play by
Lamond Murray with 67 seconds left but could not get any closer.
"I thought our guys gave what they could," coach Randy Wittman
said. "They ran into a guy that had it going tonight. I
thought we gave a great effort but just couldn't overcome his 54
points."
Andre Miller had 22 points and 14 assists for the Cavaliers, who
have lost three straight and eight of nine after a six-game
winning streak.
The Cavs got within four points five times before Miller capped
the scoring with a dunk, but the trio of Iverson, McKie and
Ratliff foiled them each time.
Murray's three-point play with 67 seconds left got Cleveland
within four points but Ratliff followed with a 15-footer and
Iverson added two free throws for a 107-99 lead with 22 seconds
to play.
Playing for the second straight night, the Sixers trailed 15-4
less than five minutes into the game. But Iverson scored eight
points and Ratliff added six during an 18-6 run that gave
Philadelphia a 27-25 lead after one period.
The Sixers never trailed again, leading by as many as 11 points
three times.
Iverson, McKie and Ratliff combined for 26 of 29 Sixers points
as they turned a 15-4 deficit into a 33-29 lead 3:15 into the
second quarter.
The lead hovered between five and 10 points until a layup by
Rodney Buford made it 55-44 with 73 seconds to play in the first
half. The Sixers took a 56-48 lead into the locker room behind
Iverson's 28 points.
Iverson scored Philadelphia's first 13 points of the third
quarter on a trio of jumpers, a 3-pointer, a three-point play
and a free throw for a 69-61 lead with 6 1/2 minutes left in the
period.
"He was amazing," Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "He shot the
ball as well as you can shoot it because there weren't a lot of
easy shots. People had a hand in his face."
"What a Larry Brown team does really well is spread the floor
well for Allen," Cleveland guard Jim Jackson said. "It's really
hard to stop a guy like that on the perimeter." - Спорт
Allen was the best player in the NBA in 2001.
God, this guy is good! No other players keeps me on the edge of my seat like AI and MJ did
Off mj deeeeuck
Such an outstanding game... *2000s were the years for the NBA*...
allen iverson was cold back in the day yet some people say he sucks when he carried this sorry 76ers team back in 2001
dont you mean 2001
just kidding
It's team ball people gotta remember
I can’t think of anybody who was colder than his dude besides Jordan...Allen would tear yo ass up. Lil dude too
I seriously miss the blocks of Theo Ratliff
pennyccw His injury and then the trade for Mutombo were deadly for the Finals months later. Theo>Dikembe
I honestly believe the mutumbo trade was an error, yes he is a legend etc, but theo was a beast & much more athletic than mutumbo at that point in his career, in the playoffs against the lakers ratcliffe would've been better, he's faster & more active on offense too, getting alley hoops from ai etc, mutumbo was slow & could barely jump, he had good timing etc, but shaw man handled him just as much, the mutumbo trade was self sabotage, the 2001 76ers would've been better against the lakers in the finals with ratcliffe, bu they were scared of what worked all year long or was just trying to find that genius chess piece to push them over the edge, i dunno all i know is theo in the finals = more than just 1 win
Omar Groves Larry Brown had an up close & personal view of Mutumbo/Iverson in that All-Star Game. The East came back and won that game because of Marbury, Allen & Dikembe’s presence & rebounds. That gave him the bright idea to make the trade. Theo was crushed. It changed the chemistry that they had all year. I still don’t know if they beat that Laker team; trade or no trade🤷🏾♂️
@@brkjeff true, i think theo was more spy on his feet , faster, be able to run the break, did aieven throw 1 alley hoop to mutombo in the finals ?, having rethink it , i agree mutombo was an asset, shaq dominated more when he was on the bench
GOAT
you just gotta love his style, this was so much fun to watch
thanks penny
Man, I remember watching this game live. Was blown away. If you don't think he's at least top 7 at scoring for perimeter players, you're outta your mind. The way he was getting buckets at 5'11 is amazing. Dude averaged 33 one year. What lil guy done that? Come on, man.
Facts 💯
My all time favorite shot blocker THEO RATLIFF!
He still amazes me shortest guy on the court but also the quickest running circles around everyone an dropping threes when he's not busy driving or hitting mid range.did he even miss one shot? He scored more than half there pointd
Besides Mckie who is inconsistent at times, AI was the only legitimate scorer. One of my all time favorite players next to Pierce, Pistol Pete, Earl Manigault, A.O.(And1), Isiah Thomas + Mahmoud Abdul Rauf;
i love Simmons and Embiid. Barkley and Dr. J.....but no one got you off your seat like Iverson in philly
Embiid does
Great Upload as always Penny, Love watching AI drop 50 plus like water Much Respect!
I have never ever seen AI finish with his left. He was probably the most right-handed dominant player of all-time. You'd think somebody would've noticed than in the scouting report. I guess he was so quick he could get right before the defense. But it is still something I've noticed watching his career since Georgetown.
When they close in on his right, he simply faded to the right more and would somehow scoop or hook it in with great success too.
Watch the game against New York when he was playing for Denver he had 2 consecutive left handed lay ups. But yeah he was so good at initiating and evading contact at the same time he always finished with his right. In his case it's ironic that a right hand layup is considered unorthodox.
ive noticed that too ..
very far from accurate. from philly saw damn near every game now shooting with the left and moving left aint the same. A.I. moved to the left just as well as he did going right. actually shooting with the left wasnt needed to often cus he was quick agild enough to shoot with the right. youre statement is very uneducated. how many right hand player u see shooting left handed often? no many ever
Why left you always right?
so fast!!
Cavs bandwagon fans don't even know these players in cavs jersey but they do know Allen Iverson
I was directed here for the AI highlights. I keep returning for the Michael Reghi
Inevitable. God given talent. Hashtag #3 🔥🔥🔥🔥
5:10-5:18 for the books.
17 years later, I'm still wondering why they traded Ratliff away. He was more athletic than Deke & Lead the league in blocks. 😒
He got injured didn't he? And the sixers wanted to win that year instead of wait for him to recover
Didnt matter, Shaq was bullying any and everybody 💯💯💯
@@jjaytroche123 he would've been in trouble with ratliffs speed
🐐
They did that to the answer in 94 they did that to me in 2007
Man A.I was a catalyst for wins. starts off with the Cavs smoking them early but A.I just turns things around. He gets it going, all of the sudden here come the blocks, here come the steals and we're rollin.
I love that they have the Cavs broadcast. Michael Reghi.
2021 pennyccw delivered the best videos
Iverson born too early in today's NBA Allen would avrg 45ppg easy with 20 f throws a game . Back then he was avrg 10 f throws a game and you could hold push and all still no one could stop him u all talking about curry but if iverson played in today's NBA he would be faster then westbrick and mid range game unstoppable, taking it in unstoppable he'd score 50 ppg every other game easy guaranteed !
Elmedin Djuderija agree
Yea cause they gotta about three teams now worth anything
In today's game, where teams practically roll out a red carpet to "defend" the key...good luck stopping him with the floor spacing and no big men to foul him to the floor
toni should have been starter in this philly team he was only one who could really help ai
Killed em
Allen iverson is the best
Am I the only one that realizes how different his jumper looked after 2001/2002?
He would average 50 nowadays
Nathan Sturgis Terrible statement
sike
Blow by these weak dudes
Lotta cats nowadays ain't hitting 50
Thanks penny u think u can upload some HQ iverson when he was on the nuggets/pistons?

0:39 someone yelled "fuck" lol
+SX BX good one
what was that eminem song in the backround?
That was basket ball for real block shots nice d as well deep how these old games people still watch them them block's nice then shooting a littlie team play helps blick party thats what had me stop and say hey this is good 8 ,00 in the am 2022 well before football later today cool
More AI vid 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Top 25 ever?
What up penny
Theo Ratliff should have been the DPOY. Mutombo was no longer close to this level of production and this team would've beat the Lakers with Ratliff healthy.
Fuckin Fearless love AI my 2nd favorite player behind kobe
one more ai video and I'll subscribe... are you an ai fan
good question
