- A stunning fourth-quarter comeback led by Allen Iverson. A thrilling final-minute shootout between Stephon Marbury and Kobe Bryant.
The ball in Bryant's hands for the last shot. A pass that no one expected. A last-second miss. A postgame celebration worthy of June.
Yes, it was quite an All-Star Game.
Iverson, Marbury and his Eastern Conference teammates transformed what looked like a blowout loss into an improbable 111-110 victory Sunday in a performance fitting of the 50th anniversary of the game.
"It was like a championship game out there," Dikembe Mutombo said. "I've been in the All-Star Game the last seven years, and I've never seen anything like this."
It was the kind of game that might stop people dismissing the East as far weaker than the West, the kind of game that might make the casual fan appreciate the heart and determination of some of the younger stars trying to seize the spotlight in the post-Jordan era.
Mostly, it was kind of game that any fan of any sport would prefer to see - a riveting one.
Iverson scored 15 of his 25 points in the final nine minutes, and Marbury hit two three-pointers in the final 53 seconds as the East came back from a 21-point deficit.
Bryant, the NBA's leading scorer, could have taken the last shot. Instead, in a shock to everyone sitting in the building and watching on television, he threw a pass that resulted in a last-second miss by Tim Duncan.
"Everybody was saying we couldn't win because of our size. It's not about size. It's about the size of your heart," Iverson said. "Coming into the fourth quarter, we were all sitting on the sidelines saying 'Why not us? Why can't we be the ones to come back from a 19-point deficit (after three quarters) in an All-Star Game?"
Turns out they could.
While presenting the MVP award to Iverson, NBA Commissioner David Stern, with a sly grin on his face, told Iverson that great basketball "can be wrapped - if you pardon the expression - in very small packages."
The comment was a clever reference to Iverson's height -- he is an inch or two shy of 6 feet -- and Iverson's rap album, which was criticized for its lyrics and led to a meeting with the commissioner.
Iverson, who starred collegiately in this city at Georgetown and had a large contingent of family and friends in the arena, presented his MVP trophy to his mother.
"My family, my friends, everybody that's been with me through my struggles and pain knows it's a tribute," Iverson said. "I think it's going to be beautiful for years to come because every year it seems like we get somebody else with a different kind of God-given ability to add to this league."
The East trailed 95-74 with nine minutes left after the West dominated the first 39 minutes behind its superior size. It appeared the game would come out looking like a mismatch that would back up all the Western Conference superiority theories that have been thrown around so frequently this season.
But the East started pecking away, and Iverson walked over to the scorer's table during a timeout and asked if anyone wanted to wager whether the East would make a comeback.
That's exactly what the East proceeded to do, with Jerry Stackhouse and Vince Carter making three-point shots that were followed by a three-point play by Iverson to cut the West's lead to 100-96.
Iverson scored the East's next two points from the line, and Tracy McGrady tied it on a putback with 3:10 left.
"We had every reason to make this like a regular All-Star Game and lay down and stop playing, and it didn't happen," East coach Larry Brown said. "I had no idea we could come from behind. It was a wonderful ending for us."
Iverson scored the East's next five points, and a chant of "M-V-P! M-V-P!" was heard after his two foul shots gave the East a 105-104 lead.
But that chant might have revved up someone else, instead.
Someone named Bryant.
In a down-the-stretch performance reminiscent of his play in the Lakers' Game 4 overtime victory over Indiana in last year's NBA Finals, Bryant kept getting the ball and putting it in the basket.

greatest all star game ever
They actually played defense in this all star game.. Way better than this years allstar game
to the kids growing up today, this game might seem a little weird, especially the west's squad, as they had 9 bigs and only 4 guards... but that was a great time in the nba, so many talented big men!
What an amazing game. What a player 😮
If Iverson ever played with a legit facilitator - OR - a quality big man he would've been the best player since Jordan
He is the best player 😂 he’s pound for pound the greatest player to ever play the game goat he’s the goat 🐐
Iverson is the goat

The most competitive all star game
@ 0:45, it's probably the most amazing move i've ever seen

Give Allen The Ring Off This All-Star Win. Phila Civil vs. L.A. Civil/The Referees... Game 1 Weight, Injuries, The Moves On Fisher,...
Watch Him Be Happier Than Any Brotha Out There Like In The All-Star Game!!!!
Iverson a beast but Doug Collins makes this a really tough video to watch
I was hyped as East win while i was rooting for them after they was down big. Something tell me East was coming back. A.I. and VC mini Connection amd Starbury Red Hot off the Bemch hitting clutch 3s. But really A.I. and Mabury save The East for the Win.
🔥🔥🔥
woah
Glad Zo got his chance to not only play again but get a ring before his exit.
👑🏀
back when it was actually competitive
It’s gone sound like hate but in that draft knowing what I know I’m still taking iverson first period
Same here, there was no other person in that draft class who could take that 76ers to the finals
@@zrxxyt3570 exactly bro that’s what I be saying
2:38 Adam Silver is sweating watching this part 😂
Yooooo, he did all of this Drunk
0:46 >>> LOOK @ KEVIN GARNETT after AI makes that crazy shot, he's all ready to move back to set offense because he's seen that crazy shit go in too many times before lol
2020?
Today players are more athletic, but 20 years ago players were more skilled.
I am sure that 2001 stars would beat nowdays stars in double digits for ease.
Idk I think today's players are more skilled, even bigs have guard like handles
@@anthonywomack2260 write me nowdays analogues of Duncan, Garnett and Webber.
Giannis has only athletics.
Durant is small forward.
Write me some skilled big men from today.
@@user-rk7pe9ne1j the fact the Kevin Durant is a 7 foot SMALL FORWARD is really all that needs to be said
@@anthonywomack2260 KD has small forward play style.
He is about shot and drive.
Duncan, Garnett and Webber was about rebound and post plays.
Ai 🐐 status
5:42 boi
He didn’t step out?
@@griffinholmes9423 this was 2 years ago but look at the refs hands how he hit em with a boii what are those
7:00 Allan Houston runs up to Chris 😭😭
+Lisset Caicedo yo...thats sprewell~~
+Lisset Caicedo Nah, that was Latrell Sprewell...lol!

Wow, it looks like they actually used to care about the all star game!?
who else came here from Facebook after finding out he partied for 72 hours straight before he played here?

Make a all star game become a one man show, that's AI.

EAST vs WEST was always good. Whomever changed it needs to be slapped.
