2000-01 Philadelphia 76ers - On the Way to the NBA Finals HD

Allen Iverson arguably had his best season in 2001 - he led his team to win their first ten games, he started and won All-Star MVP honors at the All Star Game. The Sixers also posted a 56-26 record, which was best in the Eastern Conference that season. He also averaged a then-career high 31.1 points, winning his second NBA scoring title in the process. Iverson won the NBA steals title at 2.5 a game. Iverson was named NBA Most Valuable Player for his accomplishments. In addition, coach Larry Brown, Dikembe Mutombo won his fourth NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award, and Aaron McKie won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award.
In the playoffs, Iverson and the Sixers defeated the Indiana Pacers in the first round, before meeting Vince Carter-led Toronto Raptors in the Eastern Semifinals. The series went the full seven games. In the next round, the Sixers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks, also in seven games, to advance to the 2001 NBA Finals against the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers. Iverson scored 48 in Game 1, which the Sixers won. However, the Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant led Lakers would win the next 4 games and the title. It was the high point of Iverson's tenure in Philadelphia.

The NBA, after experimenting in the early years, restored this original format for the Finals in 1985. So far, the other playoff series are still running on a 2-2-1-1-1 site format.

[@mscottlawrence2037]

[@vincentbyrd5350]

Only needed theo to be healthy. Nothing dikembe could do with shaq sadly. But allen was a man on a mission and gave everything any superstar could ⭐ my favorite player ever ❤

[@georgedimov9230]

Oh guys I just have to tell ya too..This season was in so many ways different than others. There is something that I keep thinking over n over..What would've happened if Teo Rattliff didn't injure himself that bad. Does anybody remember the team balance before that?!? After that with Mutombo it was like 50%..

[@702TifosiGambler]

I still question to this day if Hughes was never traded in the Kukoc deal and if Tim Thomas wasn't traded for Ty Hill how they would've faired against the Lakeshow in 01.

My childhood - it learned me that it does not matter who you are but how badly you want something

[@mscottlawrence2037]

Man when Iverson shoots he swishes

[@CoreyT127]

I still believe if Mackie had played we would've at least went 7, if not won! 3 of our 4 loses were single digits that came down to last 2 mins and he would've put us over the top ! 15 ppg, 6th man award winner that year! Yeah he would've made the difference

[@rafkra9934]

gr8 doc! ❤

[@william9152009]

I loved that team!
I haven't loved a team that much since the 04-05 Philadelphia Eagles & this year's Eagles with Carson Wentz, he's definitely MVP, it's a shame he got injured for the season smh...
