Huh? How. AI is one of the most overrated players ever. Seriously, immeasurable impact? For a player who is all "me", "I". Im the star, im the starter, why would i practice?, why would I come off the bench , evennif coming off the bench is the best for the team , butts heads with the coach, antagonize media? Look at who his "ways" have influenced: melo anthony, james harden, westrbrook, maybe kyrie (without Lebron). Last time i checked, they aint winners, "me" attitude, cant accept coming off the bench past their primes... immeasurable impact on what? He has a cancerous personality in a team, "me" over team, style of play cant win... yes he is barely 6 ft with a big heart battling giants but that is about it.
When I met Allen Iverson as an adult he was so nice I remember I was so flooded with emotions from how much I idolized him as a child. I couldn’t even formulate words the only thing I could do was say Thank You.
On paper this sixers team had all of the accolades that year: Coach of the year 6th man of the year Defensive player of the year Reg. Season mvp #1 in the ECF But in reality the Lakers were just too much for them. At least the sixers ruin their almost perfect post season run by taking game 1 and the iconic A.I step over Tyronn Lue finishing the game with 48 points.
I still can't get over at how amazing 50:51 is; only because Allen Iverson was coached by Larry Brown. Larry Brown was coached by Dean Smith. Then, Dean Smith was coached by Phog Allen... and finally, Phog Allen was coached by the creator and inventor of the sport we now know as basketball, which is, James Naismith. They practically kept passing their skillset and techniques of the game, through generations... and it shows in Allen Iverson's IQ. Especially after his 2001 NBA season. That means if Iverson were to coach in some form or fashion. Just know he's passing on something to you that was handed by the inventor of basketball. Pretty mind blowing, to think about.
23:24 - that just broke me up hearing Pat tell Larry why he indirectly hurt AI without even knowing. We talk about mental health these days, but no one even addressed the PTSD he faced at that prison that almost ruined him
1:07:23 I totally get where Iverson is coming from as a Utah fan. It's such a heartbreak. Nothing but respect for you AI, total warrior. This guy wanted to play 48 minutes 82 games a year and all playoffs and wanted to win as much as anyone.
Such a great doc. Great team and I remember the series vs to Toronto as if it happened last week. Specifically because i was living in North Carolina at the time and of course the connection with Vince Carter and UNC _ his graduation day etc.. was big news. And of course the finals vs Lakers was epic. Lastly, the part when Coach Larry Brown is listening to Dean Smiths recording / and watching Coach Brown break down the way he did........ wow.....heavy..heavy..heavy!!!!! If u didnt get goosebumps or ur eyes didn't tear up just a little / there could possibly be something wrong with u if didnt.....
98 jerseys were better though- v cut - thin shoulder straps 2000 had the turquoise alternate jersey though…would be cool if they made that in the 98 cut But Na…..we need a Sixer team worthy enough to wear the old logo with the battle black & white….2024 this team ain’t it
@@robertojuanfernandez1558 mckie was nice 6th man & a big PG that could cover Sg's to allow AI to guard tha PG but aaron scoring wasnt consistent.. Players like Hughes & Tim Thomas was booted quickly in Trades
I love how Philadelphia embraced Allen Iverson. Not to mention Allen Iverson has brought The Hip-Hop culture to The NBA. I'm a Sixer fan from Cincinnati. Go fig.
I didn't realize Iversons greatness until the tail end of his career. Best player under 6'0" I've ever seen. Quite possibly one of the best athletes the NBA has ever seen
Iverson had his flaws but he was an athletic freak. football star in high school. Probably could have starred in any sport. amazing balance and quickness. We have seen other great little guys but I have not seen any little guy attack and finish above the rim relentlessly like a young iverson. There was that, and he never seemed to get tired while playing huge minutes and getting knocked to the floor regularly. Its not like he was getting great rest and recovery,/nutrition between games either. Didnt lift weights. He was out drinking and partying a lot. Eating taco bell, hot dogs, soda lol
iverson was the entire team. i watched this series. the entire team around him worked hard, but they were basically out matched and outskilled vs kobe/shaq. so unfair honestly.
Listen Ai was a big part of a lot of people's childhoods but we have to be honest when at this point that word goat has lost it's true meaning. He's not ass but come on
My childhood hero. I went from not giving a shit about basketball to being out on the court every day until 10pm on a school night. Iverson to this day is a large part of my everyday life - I regularly wear his jerseys, I have a framed poster in my house etc. He is one person I would love to meet and express gratitude to. The P4P GOAT, IMO.
28:50 A pure soul that just wants to play the best basketball all he can for the ones he cares about, plus another master soul that is patient and tolerant enough to keep the relationship continued, Larry Brown would've been that father figure AI lacked but needed so badly growing up Seeing AI still in tears when thinking of not winning the title for his coach teammates and fans, shows how much he wanted to win, he's a true fighter
He was so good so tough like others said pound for pound the best to ever play the game.. Chuck Aka The the Answer we will forever love AI in Philly they should put a statue of him down by the art museum honestly he had the biggest heart I've ever seen anyone have in basketball he gave everything 🫶 Thank you Allen Iverson
I grew up in pittsburgh, and used to spend the dimes I made working during high school to be able to drive solo to Philly for sixers playoff games. A.i will always be my favorite athlete...
Damn .... u a dirty mufu..... but damn if I didn't start laughing out loud!!!! It's crazy to see many NBA players go from being in tip top shape to looking like diabetes is right around corner for them / I guess they feel like they have been training and competing from such a young age that now they can let themselves go ... crazy/ and let's be honest _ AI looks like his diet consists of Double Staked Cheeseburgers and Fries himself and said not fu#k practice but Fu#k going to the gym .....
Larry Brown was a great great coach we love Larry Brown in Philly i wish we could of keep Larry and Allen together we could of one a chip at some point no question
I will always admire Allen Iverson cause of his impact and culture he brought to the game of basketball. He also brought swagger and coolness to the game
I remember watching the 2001 finals ..I wanted A.I and the sixers to win but it was tough to beat the Lakers with Shaq and Kobe..The Lakers were just a better team..
@@drewainge1059 lucky is a weird way to put it. Prime Vince on those raptors, and that Bucks team was great. All those great teams in the west got swept by Shaq and Kobe but AI stole a game.
A.I your my basketball your HERO, and the only I hated Lakers so much at 1 point coz of that who also felt that pain back then and when they started changing perspective after that memorable 2000-2001 season; especially those who gave to the organization but the slogan itself provides a different like trusting the about what trading those guys who already had solid team chemistry just like Larry brown and pat would ever imagine it only took what 2-3 years to accomplish and go for rebuilding. Then Nuggets Happen. that's why all of the karmas that plague 76ers till now was because of that betrayal of trust by deciding to rebuild. But still thanks the answer for making me imagine ever to play like you like having that shooting sleeve even though imma leftypeace out.
I think the bowling incident made allen very cautious of authoritative figures like larry brown or any coaches that were white because he may have thought they were "out to get him". I'm sure all larry brown wanted from AI was some type of Mamba Mentality, as I get older I understand Larry brown more and more on his approach with Allen.
PSA: I was there, I watched it, was at the games, saw his cultural impact, saw him be unapologetic, when it matter most to black people. He will always be a legend PERIOD!.....But in 2023 there is one thing I know for show after looking back...Allen Iverson should have left the 76ers. They wasted years of his talent. How the fuck are you benching the best player on your team..I always said larry brown wanted to do things his way, and not realize the value iverson had... In the end,, it got larry brown kicked out the NBA...You can't bench the only great player you got just because you have a ego.... In iversons early years....he should have went to 3 teams...Magic, SPurs, or Blazers...And he would have 3 championships...EASY...
I'll give them the Chip that year as well. Going against the city of LA, Kobe, Shaq, the refs, the NBA, and still doing what he did means the 76ers were the best team that season. We saw what the NBA and refs were willing to do for the LAL team against Sacramento, no way they were gonna let AI take the Chip that year. So the people give it to him.

Damn Eric Snow has become a big fella look like someone grandaddy. And I wonder if the Sixers werent so beat up what could they have done. Made it a little more challenging. I doubt they could have won but atleast took it to 7
Larry huges and Matt gieger should have never been traded for mutumbo only thing mutumbo had was blocks larry huges and matt could score, Matt a had jump shot, he would have brought Shaq out, free Lane and as far as Larry huges he got busy, he would have gave kobe problems. Meanwhile Chuck could be chuck. Wrong "changes" smh Larry Brown.
Same thing happened during the 70’s with Dr J. Keep winning the Eastern Championship but can’t beat the Lakers until Moses Malone came in and finally won the ‘83 NBA Championship.
@@Obstakill Mutombo was old as fuq, Theo was fast and big, and a blocker for sure, all in all, the synergy of the team was destroyed, maybe if Mutombo was there from the start, it would have played out different.
IDK WHY PHILLY DIDNT CRUCIFY LARRY!!!.. HOW DO U MAKE UR BEST PLAYER, AN ALLTIME GREAT MISERABLE & NIP PICK & FINE HEAVY…. I WOULD NEVER CALL L BROWN A GREAT COACH JUST FOR THAT REASON ALONE, HIS NARCISSISM IS ASTONISHING.. The things he said publicly was amazing to me.. LARRY BROWN WAS SO BIG HEADED THAT HE EVEN CALLED AI HIS EMPLOYEE 🤦♂️ NO IDIOT!!!!.. HE’S UR CO-WORKER!!!! If THAT don’t sum up the BS for u then…. IDK what to tell u.. 🤦♂️
The team assembled in 2001 was actually perfect. His teammates would've ran through a brick wall for Iverson. That playoff run should have left no more questions about Iverson the franchise player. No one cared about the off the court problems, media made them worse
I never liked Larry Brown and thats probably because he was coaching a team that i liked and they whipped the team i liked lol. I didn't care for Allen Iverson after he was drafted and I think it was the attitude and him being short like i think 6'1"? But after watching this documentary I think they are both amazing!!!❤
AI was more like 5'11 but I see your point. I think his attitude rubbed people the wrong way, due to his stint in prison. If he was clean cut with a brash attitude, he'd get praised from the jump. However in 01, he won the world over with his play and playoff run.💯💯
The only wrong move that they made that season is trading theo for dikembe. Theo is the defensive player that year and blocking shots and running n fastbreak. Dikembe was too slow for the way they play. They only did that because they are preparing for shaq. But they still have geiger and todd, so i think theo is the perfect fit.

Philly needs to go back to the jerseys they wore from 2001-2004. I hate the current ones they have now
yeah the colors are so bad right now.
Nooo I like the ones from 89 and the big round white 76ers logo
98 jerseys were better though- v cut - thin shoulder straps

The best ride I have seen in 35 years !! AI against Kobe ❤️❤️❤️
20:56 - I think that actually took place Mon. 12/20/1999
I never liked Larry Brown and thats probably because he was coaching a team that i liked and they whipped the team i liked lol. I didn't care for Allen Iverson after he was drafted and I think it was the attitude and him being short like i think 6'1"? But after watching this documentary I think they are both amazing!!!❤
AI was more like 5'11 but I see your point. I think his attitude rubbed people the wrong way, due to his stint in prison. If he was clean cut with a brash attitude, he'd get praised from the jump. However in 01, he won the world over with his play and playoff run.💯💯
Halfway through the 2000-01 season,76ers traded theo racliff to the hawks for the 4x DPOY Dikembe Mutombo
The Greatest.
I miss this type of all star game
Why is the audio so atrocious
This team is my soulmate
The only wrong move that they made that season is trading theo for dikembe. Theo is the defensive player that year and blocking shots and running n fastbreak. Dikembe was too slow for the way they play. They only did that because they are preparing for shaq. But they still have geiger and todd, so i think theo is the perfect fit.
If I'm not mistaken, Theo broke his wrist. That's why they need Mutombo.
Everything but the chip..... and the chip is the ONLY thing that matters.

Why is Stephen A face in 3D?
In 2001, Iverson was better than Kobe. But there was just no way to stop Shaq.
No he wasnt smh
