Seeing AI and Sprewell always makes me emotional. I really loved watching them play and during that mid 90's early 2000's when i was in High school and an early adult brings back so many memories.
As a AI Lover always in his prime i hoped he played togheter with Sprewell..great winner, great defense great hustle player but he had a very good offensive play, not so Snow, lynch, mckie
@@elitetraders2316 So he essentially didn't accept millions cuz it wasn't enough to feed his family, but ended up with nothing for his family? 😂 What team offered it? Did he not want to go to that team that badly to accept nothing over millions?
@@stalkerstomper3304 it's not that, he help the team to be the best of the league that year and took it all the way to conference final with sam cassell out bcoz of injury, before that year the wolves never won any playoff series, he believed he deserved more.
@@stalkerstomper3304close to or should have been if he continued till the end but knowing the league he won't get what he deserves a he had choked and threatened his former coach PJ Carlesimo. His ego finished his career
Sprewell was such an underrated player!! I loved his game, he can defend, was a midrange specialist with an explosive first step. Alan Houston is another underrated specialist scorer who had the most beautiful jumper. I would love to see what would have happened is these guys played in today's league!
@@Fortune332 not the same level as 94, look at his figures, and I actually watched a lot of the 99 playoff games of the knicks, his skills set are highly relied on his physical condition which drop with his age...
When I used to watch Allen Iverson highlights I always used to like to see A.I. win. But now when I watch this game after having learned about the Knicks and the unique team they had, I want both of them to win
I love the whole "Allen Iverson is lackluster on defense" argument, because one, his onball defense is great and two, who's better at his height or position?
Hold on: the knick's had Glenn Rice in the rotation with Alan Houston and Sprewell?!! I suppose the two draw backs for the Knicks at that time was: they got older going with a more experience roster and they got smaller, the small ball that got them to the dance in 99 didn't work afterwards.
Iverson said in his early days as a rookie that his favorite player in the NBA was Latrell Sprewell. Talking about cornrows, Iverson had them made for the 1997 Rookie Challenge while Spree got them later the same year at the start of the 1997-98 season before the Carlesimo choking incident in December which prevented him to play in the league for the whole 1998 year. Anyway, both these guys still are in my all-time NBA top 3 along with Dennis Rodman.
for me these interests/hobbies did do and will go in this EXACT order #1 wilt chamberlain #2 patrick ewing #3 willis reed #4 moses malone #5 sixers and #6 knicks
There’s video footage to the contrary. Spree has outplayed AI before. Actually you will notice that Spree is normally right there or outperform in these duel highlights against players rated way higher than him
Jose Semino iverson. no knock on westbrook who's probably the most athletic guard. but iverson was unguardable in his prime. westbrook gets trip-dubs but iverson is one of the greatest scorers of all time and he's always tops in steals and he's a winner. he doesn't take as many 'bad' shots as a westbrook or kobe
I just want an answer from the answer about the answer to the answer from the answer to the answer about the answer of practice. Well, won't anybody answer about the answer to the answer for the answer to the answer about the answer not having an answer from the answer about the answer to the question about the answer????

+baron mordo me too it was so great watching these guys when i was in elementary school in 4th grade and liked basketball better at that time.

Sprewell was a great player at both ends, underrated
When real men played till the very end.
As a AI Lover always in his prime i hoped he played togheter with Sprewell..great winner, great defense great hustle player but he had a very good offensive play, not so Snow, lynch, mckie
Sprewell is one of the most underrated players in the history of the NBA.
he's stupid for turned down a $21 million contract offer claiming it wasn't enough to feed his family. He never played again and went bankrupt.

Sprewell : 1st team all NBA 1994 & was part of the best NBA Finals of the last 20 years.
Original splash brothers
@@NameCallingIsWeak he never made it back to the top since 94.........
@@elitetraders2316 99 for the Knicks he was phenomenal

Sprewells drop step was unreal
Two of The Most Explosive, Fastest Players in N.B.A Hystory: Sprewell nd My Dude A.I from End To End.
Frfr Sprewell will get down there on both ends, and we know A.I fast as hell he don’t even keep his jersey tuck in lol
Penny, A.I., C-Webb, T-Mac, Spree, Grant Hill, Payton, Kemp... any of these players at their prime can dominate today's NBA.
weeee
all facts
steve francis baron davis agent zero
Marcus Camby and Chuck Hayes .
Best era
This actually almost ended up being a 2nd round series that year.
Spree and Iverson only a handful of players that can play a damn near 40 minutes a night and don't get tired😩
Sick D by Sprewell
Sick channel
Sprewell was the hell of a defender
6:16 u gotta love this .... absolute pride in his defense and just dogging him to give up the ball
Great individual defense by Sprewell
You already know. A.I of course. Sprewell would be a beast. Especially with no handchecking!
I miss Match-ups like this.
Sprewell should've been an all-star all his seasons in NY not just 01
sprewell was guarding iverson better than kobe in the finals
+Sun Spot lol no way man
+TheIverson1990 hes right butthurt
That makes sense. Latrell was a better defender than Kobe.
He was!
well, sprewell failed to guard Iverson, Iverson blew by him easily all the time
Man if Sprewell took the game seriously, he'd be in the Kobe Wade category of guards.
He didn't take the game seriously??
@@danjones3402 his mind was somewhere else...............busy choking his coach
Philly loved Spree 😂 he got no boos in crunch time 😂
10:53 such an AI play... drive into the paint with five people and make the shot
When I used to watch Allen Iverson highlights I always used to like to see A.I. win. But now when I watch this game after having learned about the Knicks and the unique team they had, I want both of them to win
I love the whole "Allen Iverson is lackluster on defense" argument, because one, his onball defense is great and two, who's better at his height or position?
Only nba jerseys ive ever owned
Sprewell
Iverson
Jordan
Kolbie
Curry
No one, and I mean no one back in the day could stop AI, not even Jordan. Whoever they put against AI was toast.
Two of the baddest killers in the league at the time!
It was a fight every game and Allen would leave it all on the floor
Allen was the 90s version of Tiny Archibald
No comparison, the only thing in common was they were both small, but Archibald was really little like 5'4. AI was 5'll, maybe 6ft in his sneakers.
When basketball mattered! Like life or death
Iverson running to the locker room with his hands on his nuts lmao!
Yeah, he got kneed in the nuts. It hurts like hell but your balls are very resilient.
If he got hit in the nuts, why can he run so fast?
@@inquizative44 😂
I loved seeing Sprewell Perform
Hold on: the knick's had Glenn Rice in the rotation with Alan Houston and Sprewell?!! I suppose the two draw backs for the Knicks at that time was: they got older going with a more experience roster and they got smaller, the small ball that got them to the dance in 99 didn't work afterwards.
The commentators where so good in those days...
sprewell was out there hooping
My boy iverson don’t never have his jersey tuck in 😂
AI will always be a classic.Period.
When teams played hard defense!!
Dam these are games we forgot of real ball dam hard. Ball good teams wow o good. D as well
💪🏻👍🏻💪🏻
That’s wat I get all game huh if I miss it I miss it 😂
The era before the flopping and techs for showing emotion!
I remember this game 😂
I love how cats don’t feel the pain until they don’t get the whistle
The Sixers would not make it to the Finals that year if they played the Knicks in the second round
Wu Liwei or if the refs didn't give them the series against my bucks
Refs always hating on AI
Wish the sixers would bring these jerseys back
Sprewell lloks like Sam Jackson.
Did iverson change his shoes beginning of the game
Iverson moulded his game on spreewelll. its the reason he got cornrows. people dont know that. but their games are quite similar if u think about it.
+Loop Set Iverson said that he wished that he was as tall as Sprewell
Sprewell is not the reason he got cornrows and he did not pattern his game around latrell.
clearly u don't know either. A.I. had his cornrows wayyyy before spree. facts. I got it backwards my guy.
Iverson said in his early days as a rookie that his favorite player in the NBA was Latrell Sprewell. Talking about cornrows, Iverson had them made for the 1997 Rookie Challenge while Spree got them later the same year at the start of the 1997-98 season before the Carlesimo choking incident in December which prevented him to play in the league for the whole 1998 year.
Anyway, both these guys still are in my all-time NBA top 3 along with Dennis Rodman.
M A K O ahhhh.....moron. A.I. has the cornrows first do your research buddy. As well as the sleeve. Dont ever disrespect the GoD A.I. like that boi
Classic.
1:49 Kyrie would've done some crazy move in this sequence
for me these interests/hobbies did do and will go in this EXACT order #1 wilt chamberlain #2 patrick ewing #3 willis reed #4 moses malone #5 sixers and #6 knicks
Gd defense by spree 6:20
And Mutombo became a Knicks in 2004
Lmao 3:30 did I hear that correctly? ... The announcer forgot where he was at!
Crazy how AI made professional athletes look like YMCA players. Spreewell spent most of the game reading the back of Iverson's jersey.
🔥
🏀
🔥🔥🔥🙏💙
Classic
THEIR WAS NO DUEL!!!! ALLEN IVERSON WAS SIMPLY BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE!!!!!!!!
There’s video footage to the contrary. Spree has outplayed AI before. Actually you will notice that Spree is normally right there or outperform in these duel highlights against players rated way higher than him
Sprewell was a good defender but Iverson was able to get his no matter....
Who is better Allen Iverson in his prime or Russel Westbrook?
Jose Semino iverson. no knock on westbrook who's probably the most athletic guard. but iverson was unguardable in his prime. westbrook gets trip-dubs but iverson is one of the greatest scorers of all time and he's always tops in steals and he's a winner. he doesn't take as many 'bad' shots as a westbrook or kobe
John Doe I miss watching Iverson the way he used to attack the rim and all that I think the only guard that can play like him rite now its kyrie
+Jose Semino lol for real man? when westrbook averages 33 and 7.5 then ask that question.
+H Scott Iverson was good for his era the ISO ball era of the late 90s-2000s
+Jose Semino AI
Untucked jersey A.I. top 5
Hands up to spreewell but ai proves that he was tougher ,,love this two players
I just want an answer from the answer about the answer to the answer from the answer to the answer about the answer of practice. Well, won't anybody answer about the answer to the answer for the answer to the answer about the answer not having an answer from the answer about the answer to the question about the answer????
I have to admit, AI is my guy, but as a youngster watching him play, I never realized how much whining he does 😂
too fast
