Im a 40 year old white guy born and raised in Philly...This guy was such a treat to watch from day one...amazing skill and talent that will never be duplicated...EVER. The best part of being a fan of Allen Iverson is knowing he gave 100% on the court...day in and day out...thats a Philly fan pre-requisite for any player from any sport to be loved in Philly...another thing that I love about the ANSWER...is that he never changed who he was and is...some people, especially white people hated the way Iverson wore his hair, the way he talked...the way he practiced(lololol)...etc...etc. But fuck all that. I want someone to be themselves...100% real. And thats exactly what AI did and still does. Big Homie is now a Hall of Famer...and like Frankie Sinatra said...he did it his way!!!...dont hate, congratulate.
I remember how AI attracted the 11-year-old me to basketball in 2001 and I have been rooting for him since then. The passion and fire in his eyes still give me goosebumps.
same here I had little to no interest in basketball until AI came along. Plus I was short and he showed that you dont gotta be tall to be a great ball player. But then my dickhead coach cut only 2 people from our highschool team- the only 2 people ever cut from the 7th grade team in the history of that school (because they would just let anyone make it, tryouts were a formality they wanted kids to have fun) and I was ONE of the people cut. Lmfao. Turned me off basketball forever. Dickhead coulda at least let me ride the pine lmao
Simply put. The lil guy was hard to guard. Allen "Pound 4 Pound" Iverson. Pound 4 Pound the quickest, Pound 4 Pound the toughest, Pound 4 Pound the most talented in any given game.
@@jeromemccollom936 --Fortunately for AI and the sixers (unfortunately for guys like you) his game was more than just midrange jumpers. Won't mention all his accolades. Just say 1st ballot HOF.
Awsome! After years see his best career plays. When I was 12-14 (99-2001) and started to play basketball and streetball, Allen was my favourite basketball player. My friends cheered for Vince Carter, Kobe Bryant and T-Mac. Not me. I love Philadelphia and A.I. I was same tall and I would never have believed that so small man may be so good in NBA games. Huge ball movements, magic reverse jams, how straight attacked the hoop from PG and SG positions, save the loose balls from outline, stolen balls, straight assists, backward jumpshots, perfect anckle brakes, follow of teammates, assists behind the back, assists to alley - oops and making alley - oops in reverse jams or dunks, three point shoots from 0° and less, how grab the balls, read the game.... and more. I loved his movement on the court. Enhance my play style and i always try to copy your moves. I think that i'm not the only one. Happy birthday A.I. Allen is same as God for me. God of basketball.
The nastiest little man in the game. Out spoken for the community and played with passion. The real GOAT. I know he didn't win a Championship but, was carrying every team he played on without practice. Forget Jordan.
I’m only 14 and I found out about him when I was 9, I started to watch highlights of him and started to love watching him play, he’s my favorite player of all time, too bad I’m too young to have watched him in his prime
They don't play like that anymore either, it's all 3 pointers today. Not even sure who today would compare, I guess Westbrook would be closest. Curry has some handles that might compare but he doesn't drive to the hoop with it, just gets space and shoots a 3 usually.
@@sevendst19 Im convinced they force players to hold back. Its so scripted now imo. For example you see a star player have a shitty game, then its like they give them the "OK" to go Hard in one game, then they get a ton of points. Its so obvious to me.. Literally holding players back and only letting them go full throttle at certain times.... Its like the WWF now...
Gday luv Always destroyed my Knicks The handle the cross over The crisp passes Fearless luv that..one of the best So much heart..Still have his shirt! Thanks AI
...and iverson takes a quick look at those candles, and, swish!...he doesn't even move in, he takes every one of them out with a small exhale! he is the answer, folks!
sküll düggery female in the back talking about “make a wish make a wish”.. uh “lady” this is AI, I know he knows how this works by now #40. You hear it in her voice she a bitch!
This video shows the greatness of Michael Jordan. Out of all the crazy acrobatic plays and last second buzzer beaters that AI had. The one that is chosen as the greatest is only because he was able to show up the GOAT. I don’t think the younger generation can understand how great Jordan was. Not only the greatest player ever but in my opinion the biggest sports ICON in history
terrorofsesameST even though he had somewhat of unmemorable last couple of years, he was never guardable throughout his career from the rookie season until his retirement.
J.C Rodríguez Jordan and Kobe Were 6”5 AI was 6”0 I say 5”10 but no one in the league played with more tenacity, heart, and aggression then him. Kobe said himself we should all be happy that Allen wasn’t 6”5.
I miss him play in the nba,,he was and will always be my favorite player he's small but has a biggest heart when it comes to playing basketball and he's the goat for me because of his size jordan kobe james will never become a goat because they are big you can call them dinosaurs not goat,,thanks penny for re living how good and tough ai on the court
Indeed my dude but I refuse to argue with young dudes that know no better. Kyrie and Steph have good handles but A.I. had it on a string nobody dribbled the ball as effortlessly as he did. He didn't need 5 or 6 dribbles and nobody made it come back like him. On top of that he brought that And 1/tricky dribbling to the league. He and Stephon Marbury another great ball handler were the Kyrie and Steph of their time,the league's new breed...
That was a great show. My all-time fave, AI... Well, honestly, I'm also a Jordan fan. Growin up in the 90s though, I started copying Iverson's moves in the playground. It was only when I got a lil older that I started religiously copying Jordan's moves, cuz they're so damn effective! Jordan didn't start doin' fadeaways as his go-to move until he was in his 30s or somethin'. I started fadin' away when I was 19! That puts me light years ahead of Jordan LOL /GK
...wow I saw AI in PERSON and He's the most beautiful man I've ever seen up close...all that bad stuff I heard about him at work disinegrated...Jesus is in there..looked up his speech. I cried..fine brother...supermom!
A I was the hardest guard to defend but his defense was unbelievable. Season highs in steaks unheard of. Some hating friends of mine said, hs didn't play defense, I said are ya'll crazy or what? This guy was a thief on the court.
HOW IN THE EARTH AI AND MELO GOT TOGETHER IN THE SAME TEAM? The other players should feel bad for their careers as there werent many shot to be taken with these two guys together
Problem was he was only playing for him self not Team Basketball. He was playing always crazy Defense, Harcore Offense but his efficiency... His biggest Problem i think. But overall Crazy and one of the Best Players of all Time. His dribbling Moves and Ankle Brakers, Dunks and Defense... GOAT!
Let's just talk about on Court performance, both sides of the Floor. Allen Iverson top 5 players in NBA History. I said it! NBA History. Not even Jordan, Kobe or Shaq could stop this guy.

Iverson is proof that, you don't *need a medal/ring to be the greatest. Allen Iverson is greatest NBA player of all time.

You can't be serious though? Most spectacular well may be. But being the greatest is so much more than that
He’s not the best but in the top 20 maybe!

Watched countless AI highlights here, this is a Fresh reel (mixed with the classics) Good Job!
Imagine trying to guard this guy in his prime?! EEK lol he was fun to watch!

increidable!!!! best crossover that i have seen!!..... Master!!!
you da best penny! hello from Serbia and thank you for tons of AI's videos and highlights.
This man got hit in his face, had NO TYPE OF CALL, and hit a 3 in front of the ref. Lol nothin like him I swear
That face hit was worth 9 Harden fouls.
@MANCHESTER UNITED F.C how is that revalent to this convo tho
6:33 the second behind the back. AI had reflexes for days.
wish he could of won a championship 😔
Word just 1 that's all he needed. He deserved it.
He's still a champion with or without an NBA championship. I'd have to agree it would have been nice.
Yep...
@Jacob Graves Where´s Jordan and Kobe in that list ffs.
J.C Rodríguez Jordan and Kobe Were 6”5 AI was 6”0 I say 5”10 but no one in the league played with more tenacity, heart, and aggression then him. Kobe said himself we should all be happy that Allen wasn’t 6”5.
