He was winning those scoring titles during prime Shaq, Kobe, T-Mac, Vince Carter, Garnett, Duncan! Iverson was insane even at Georgetown, thanks for this one!! ❤
he was winning the scoring titles but don’t get it twisted, he was taking about 5 shots more a game
I think Shaq and Kobe lowered each other's scoring average
@@elbowgang9715 no… Kobe never became the true scorer we know him as until Shaq left but that’s not cuz he was being held back it’s simply cuz he wasn’t that player yet, young Kobe was a menace on defense and a highlight reel at the rim but his shot wasn’t even comparable to the Kobe we know
Of course he was insane at Georgetown! Do you know any superstar athletes that WEREN’T while they were in high school, where the competition is .01% as strong?
@@jacklarue7049 G-town is D1 college ball, he was going up against Ray Allen in the east... are you high??
Iverson was simply on his own level💯
Crazy thing is he'll tell you himself he was a better football player
Practice
@andim.8788 "not a game,not a game ,not a game....but we talmbout practice"
@@carlosrosado9560 he could’ve been like Deion… but he didn’t like weights lmao

Iverson was like the Barry Sanders of the NBA. Undersized athlete dragging an awful team to the playoffs through sheer force of will and generational talent
Man Barry was my guy!! Great comparison
Sensational 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Well said!!
Perfect words & in the right order, too.
He will FOREVER be my favorite human being to ever touch a basketball.
Amen to that brother 🙏 🙌 he's the 🐐
Same!
Crucial. Dats right.
Mo cheeks my first then him!! ✊🏽
Never missed a game when he played absolutely my GOAT he was so fun to watch total entertainment
There is simply no other NBA player like Allen Iverson.
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER WILT, ERVING OR IVERSON. ONLY 76ERS HAVE UNIQUE PLAYERS. BUT I AGREE IVERSON IS GOAT. CONSIDERING 5'11 ONLY, HE IS BEST PLAYER AND SCORER EVER.
Maybe Ja Morant 💯
Probably not
Ja and Iverson come from the same lineage. If they'll be another Iverson, Jordan or LeBron they'll come out of the lineage!
Ja isnt like iverson though hes from well nurtured enviorment and hasn't faced adversity like Iverson has, that kids tribulations have all come from being an idiot @william9152009
I’m from Brazil, soccer is the national sport here and in the early 00 it was not common to people here to watch basketball, I watched casually a Philadelphia game and as soon as I saw Iverson playing i started to watch nba games, I was shocked with this guy I even did the same hairstyle (and other young boys did the same) even here the soccer land this man had an huge cultural impact, legend A.I
Yeah man even in Namibia,back then it was just soccer but when Iverson started playing people started watching the nba and yeah the hair style was a thing here too everyone wanted to have a fro
Even in countries like Brazil where soccer/football is very popular A.I still impact many fans, this clearly shows how huge A.I's impact was, not only in Brazil but all over the world, fyi..im also A.I fan from India👍🏼👍🏼
He didn't just bring inspiration to the league. He impacted kids and adults across the world. Gave us smaller athletes hope
Cool comment!!!
I wouldn't trade Soccer for anything in the world. I mean whats so interestig with basketball anyway. some tall dudes running around a small pitch. I guess I am not into American sports except for Boxing. Basketball is shit, Baseball is crap, football is foolishness
The fact that Allen took THAT 76ers team to the FINALS, may be the most unbelievable achievement, EVER, in the NBA…..🤷♂️😬🤷♂️
YEP THO OLAJUWON WON RING ALONE BUT HE HAD SNIPERS ROLE PLAYERS. FACT IS IVERSON WAS ONLY OPTION IN STARTING 5. ONLY RICK BARRY AND OLAJUWON HAS WON RING ALONE. BUT IVERSON RUN IS THIRD BEST AFTER THEM 2.
Lebron taking that team with boobie gibson is up there
No may be!!!!!🤷♂️
the east was horrible that year
I grew up on Ai as a sixer fan ,my favorite player of all time hands down , I remember when everyone wanted to be like Iverson
My favorite player of all time also!! The man is a GOAT 🐐
Agreed fellas
Nobody can still duplicate his playing style on the court, everything about the way he played was unique
I thought Kyrie was better but no iverson’s ball handles look better
kyrie left the chat...
he was the blueprint of what we see offensive guards this era.
There was no iverson before iverson after iverson, many copy cats came
Kyrie displays more crossovers but all A.I had to do is hit you with that iconic crossover, get a step on you and that's a wrap because he'd just blow by his opponents with pure speed.
solidified himself soon as he was drafted... there will never be another like this man, changed the game on and outside the court. i had so much shit of his lol my goat !
Being drafted alone doesn’t solidify anyone, doesn’t matter if it’s #1, look at Ben Simmons.
Iverson had a legendary rookie season and continued to have a legendary career afterwards.
There has been WAY too many big time busts to legitimately believe what you’ve said
@@michaelgonzalez3523 nigga i didn't say that, you was too itching to state your opinion. i said solidified himself soon as he was drafted.... not BECAUSE he was drafted weirdo
I read he didn't even really practice very hard as many of the fans know, he missed practice, a LOT, he was just that gifted, he said if he would have really tried hard during practice to step up his already crazy talent, he would been even better. Which is hard to imagine because he was that good.
@@GisherJohn24 imagine if he actually hit the weight room lol dude was just different, played with all types of bruises and sum'n broken. wore hockey pads, dude was on another level
@@EdwinHargraves I guarantee that the reason he didn't was because he would have lost his speed
Everytime I watch old clips of him I fall in love all over again my favorite player of all time
Iverson was a generational once in a lifetime player. There's just never been another player who's had a cultural impact both on the game and in general like him. People loved him, people hated him, but everyone respected him because he never changed for anything or anyone. He was an absolute joy to watch and a hell of an athlete who could have played multiple sports and been elite at them
Odds stacked against him, controversy on and off the court even before making the league and still became an All-time great. He deserves his spot in the HOF no doubt and am glad the GOAT of these docs Joseph Vincent made one for AI
My second favorite player behind Jordan. He had his own style and crazy tenacity.
:Mine as well. Because of the defense and Georgetown.
That's my order as well. Jordan, Iverson, Wade & Lillard. But Iverson all around besides just basketball.💯🤷🏾♂️
Mines too but before Jordan than mj 😂
Jordan was my favorite player to watch. But I never liked his sneakers. Iverson's Questions were the only Reeboks I ever bought.
@@TheKingOfHarts NAAH MJ OVERRATED. PIPPEN 500X BETTER
Electrifying, prolific, truly unstoppable and legendary scorer and one of most beloved b-baller at all times
Allen Iverson Is Truly Legendary!!🔥🐐🐐
Ah yes. Allen.... only guy can bring street basketball to NBA. Legend.
Plenty of players brought street ball to the NBA before him.
What are you talking about street ball.. that is not AI lane my guy. You are thinking about the And 1 guys.
💯💯💯💯 no cap
Larry Legend played street ball as well..
Only 56k views in 2 days? That is absolutely criminal for how well made this is. I recommend this channel to anyone that’ll listen to me 😂 I even watch videos on stars from sports I knew nothing about, and in turn.. have discovered love for legends, disciplines and sports in general I didn’t even knew existed before. So thank you Joseph Vincent, a sparkling example on high quality content 👌🏻
Exactly was I was saying
has over 1mil views now in 3 months, they doing aite
The boxing essays & tributes are what brought me to this channel. It's somewhat a sport that people have largely forgotten but it's good to know that there's people out there who still love the magic and allure that boxing has. My dad got me into the sport when I was very young. I still have his old vhs recordings of guys like Bowe, Holyfield, Hagler & others in my house. If I had the editing skills & know how, I'd probably try to find a way to put them online.
Iverson is the original putting a team on your back type 💪🔥
One of the best ball handlers and a elite scorer in the league a true legend
I was blessed to see him play vs. Indiana while I was working out of state.
I sat first row, and you just couldn't imagine how quick Iverson was.
fuckin lucky, against reggie ? i have a plaque on him crossing reggie i want signed so bad 😩
@@EdwinHargraves
I had to look this up.
A couple of nights before the game, I went to see Roy Jones fight Richard Hall, and that was in 2000.
Unfortunately, Reggie retired in 97, so I didn't get a chance to see him play.
I must say, sitting down front, those men are giants! All of them.
Except for Iverson.... I was exiting the stadium and he was giving a post game interview for ESPN probably, and he was not much taller than me.
But he could scoot around like a bolt of lightening.
@@dustinf49 that's one of the coolest stories man, i would've been so star struck 😩 lol
Practice
@@dustinf49 Reggie Miller retired in 2005 if that's who your taking about 🙂
Simply the Answer ❤
He was pure raw talent
Absolutely. I had a friend who was obviously way worse but played like him. And it was just like that, he is so good at Park ball you would never dream of even beating him at all like he was constantly doing hard driving dunks, hella reverses and floaters and that's what was annoying is you can have him fingered by three big men under the bucket but he will always know exactly the part to weasel through and score
Yessir, he was a freak athlete, may have been the smallest guy on the court but he had the biggest heart and like you say the talent to cause havoc for opposing teams
My favorite basketball player of all time! He was the real deal and the realest dude. He brought the Hood to the sport of basketball haha. The dude revolutionize the style in the sport and broke ankles on the regular. Best crossover in the history of the game, and he would have been a multiple-time world champion if he had a slightly better team roster. He carried his team to the finals pretty much single-handedly against stacked teams and at a slightly shorter height than most players. The GOAT in my estimation.
Truly underrated.
The most entertaining baller ever.
Too bad the league targeted him any time they could.
Man's a legend.
Allen is an incredible athlete. Giving 1000% each game. Developing a warriors mindset. Blessings to the👑
30 points in his first NBA game. Salute!👀💕💪🔥🔥🔥
The real A.I. we all want. My first pair of name brand shoes were the first Iverson's white with the 3 stripes. The Jordan crossover struck my so unbelievably that it's hard to put into words. Jordan is and always will be the goat, but damn Andre and Allen the double AI duo were perfect
🤔 I’m confused 3 stripes isn’t that adidas? He was endorsed by Reebok
He's the reason I started watching NBA. I remember begging my dad to to get his documentary DVD back in the days, he's one of a kind.
I bought that cd 💿 man is a legend
Actually v.h.s
Allen Iverson, warrior 🪖, respect 💪.
You'll never see more heart left on the court by another player ever...ever again
You guys are just an inspiration for sports documentaries on RUclips, if we created our channel, it is also because you motivated us and showed that it was possible. Keep it up, to the moon!
you guys do good work, keep em coming and i'll keep watching!
@@cigarr3870 Thank you so much Jerimy! Next one coming in a few days, let's go!
Just watched "How One Shot Altered NBA History", great content man.
😅
Legend says that he still breaks ankles and steps over people on the ground to this day. 🤯
TO THIS DAY
@@RealJT33 til this DAY
My neck hurts from shaking my head watching these highlights. And I’m only 12 minutes in. 😂😂😮
First time I saw The Answer he played at Georgetown and W.V.U. played in Big East. He was their answer and our problem.
The man, the legend, one on my main childhood idols. Still love this guy.
"We’re all fortunate that Allen Iverson isn't 6'5, otherwise it would have been over for the league. Pack up and goodbye.” - Kobe Bryant
Thank you Joe Vincent. You somehow bring tears to eyes every single god damm time. You are a legend
He will always be my favourite player, even as a Mavs fan.
One of The Most Talented NBA Player History !!!
Being from the 757 like Iverson, it’s insane to see this old footage of the schools that I also grew up around. Very good work Joe! 💪🏾👍🏾
still my favourite player of all time! straight killer!
AMAZING! This one gave me the chills. AI is my all time favorite player in history
Allen iverson is an icon, every kid wants to look like him on and off the court. He is the pioneer of the bling-bling era😤
The reason I played basketball growing up. AI was a legend. Thank you
He was able to flow like water, at lightning speed, amazing.
Iverson played in the right era with new up and coming and already established. T-Mac, Kobe, Carter, Garnett, Shaq, Mj, Pippen, Kerr, Stockton, Malone, Carmelo, Murberry, and this back when basketball wasn’t all timid and prissy like today. Give that man his flowers
MAN it sucks he never got that ring but still one of the best point guards ever
Favorite player of all time appreciated this 🔥🔥🔥
Your basketball videos are always the best ones ❤️
Agreed! I watch them alllll the time!
Even the way this man dribbled the ball was incredible.
Got a lot of my moves from him as a point guard... wasn't old enough to see Michael in his prime, but seeing AI and Kobe was brilliant to see. Great video bro.
Got me into basketball, no player will ever be like him!
Anyone talking about AI makes me smile, this almost made me cry. Beautiful
Jordan, Kobe, Iverson. In that order. He was a great player. Trying to keep up with his new moves was hard.
MJ, Kobe and Iverson all had that stone cold killer pedigree... & this man cooked MJ with the same move twice in one play & made the bucket. MJ had 23 points that game and Iverson had 37! One thing I love about him man is he stayed true to who he is and managed to grow in the process...
Put MJ in a blender lol.
Iverson had several victims lol@@genxingit1472
A pleasant surprise, JV! The master of sports highlights!!!🔥🔥🔥
Just an absolute legend of an athlete
One of the absolute greatest. The reason I fell in love with the game. He was my idol growing up and he absolutely changed the game forever. A one of one for SURE. Pound for pound the greatest to ever lace ‘‘em up. The ANSWER
I didn't know AI was a two sport legend! Just goes to show the level of talent the man had...Shoutout Joe Vince for another banger documentary, this guy truly does bring it home like no other
I grew up watching “The Answer” and he is apart of the reason why I love the game of basketball…The one & only🙏🏽💪🏽🏀
A part
This MAN Changed the game . The true goat 🐐 AI was a monster 👿
Nuff said…….. ❤️
Not even close to being the goat.
@@MaximusWolfe 🤷🏾♂️
@@HomeRunnaz
That’s correct. Not even close to being the goat. You read that correctly. And it’s a fact.
to call iverson the goat is an illness
He’s the goat In my eyes too we all are entitled to our own opinions
My #1 fav player of all time! He the best in my eye always will be.
Iverson got me into Basketball.
Been waiting for a documentation about Iverson from you for a long time. Finally!
Been watching him since he was in Denver I watched some of his Philly highlights and they were really inspirational and seeing him go to jail and all the troubles he’s been in and his crazy ball handles and gettin MVP saying he could the baddest without it and the “Infamous Practice Rant” I feel like the man has changed a lot in those era’s doesn’t matter what y’all say this brother was on another level.
Always a good day when bored films uploads 💯💯💯👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Thanks for this one. He's my top three favorite hoopers when I was young hooping. Him, Brent Barry, Pete Maravich are the guys I used to want to play like.
VERY GOOD TASTE!!!
People mainly talk about inverson handles but his drive to the goal lay up game was off the charts…most of his reverse lay ups are nasty!!
Man imagine if Iverson could've teamed up with 2 other superstars during his prime in Philly?!
Iverson influenced a whole generation he’s one greatest point guards ever
He's my goat always my number one 🐐 love u boye. U helped put philly on the map and the game. Never will there will be another
Allen was full entertainment. There’s something about a little guy weaving his way through a wall of giants and finishing His jump shot was so pure it seemed like the ball never hit the rim. It was straight net!!
"Not a Game But PRACTICE"... .... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 A.I. THAT ANSWER Tha BEST Who Ever Done It
Nobody brings it home like Joe Vincent. Nobody.
He was and still is my number NBA Player awesome 💯👏🏽 ❤❤❤
I wish ESPN and other sports networks would put stuff like this on TV. Great job!
Iverson is to basketball what Roy Jones was to boxing,so creative and athletically gifted.
gifted with extra long arms
Yes indeed straight gifted he was blessed by the higher power and talented football and basketball don't get no better than that.
Great comparison bro
I love your videos you taught me so much about the boxing scene and mma your super under rated and I love showing my friends your videos
AI was and still is my all time favorite player after MJ 💯
He was truly special , from the way he carries himself , keeps it real and played every game like it's his last! They're will never ever be another player like him!
Fun fact for those who didn't know but Iverson was very talented QB and his " passion" was football but he his mother always said he was gona play basketball and she ain't let him quit that for football
Best draft class of all-time.
I had the slam magazine poster of that 96' draft class, all in their NBA jerseys, standing next to one another. The OGs will remember that.
He is probably the most influecial player in the history of NBA. Those cornrows, tattoos and jewellery is dope and the main thing is he showed how original he is, whether it's his talk or way of playing the game. He is an inspiration even though he had his downfall. Hats off to this legend!! Love from Nepal.
If he just gets that one ring against the Lakers he’s considered one of the best of all time!
The fact he even got that team to the finals is so crazy.. p4p best basketball player I ever saw and I seen em all since mj
Even without the ring he’s one of the goats
One of my favorite. I loooooved the swagger he carried!!
Thank you for this one! I will watch it another 1000 times
Let's go!💯💯💯💯💯💯 been waiting on this. " We talking about Practice " classic I told my coach that in high school 🤣🤣
These documentaries are just incredible… thank you for the hard works and lots of hours to entertain us🙏
Hands down you're the greatest sports documentarian(if that's an actual word hahaha) on youtube. It's not officially authentic if it isn't done by Joseph Vincent💪💙
Those “Answer iv” shoes will always be my favorite kicks 🔥
Wasn’t much of a basketball fan, but I made sure to watch whenever he played 👍🏼
POUND FOR POUND THE GREATEST TO NEVER WIN A RING.. THE ORIGINAL POINT GOD
THE GREATEST TO NEVER GET HIS TRUE CREDIT
So Allen Iverson was for the NBA what lil Wayne was for rap.
Yesssir! Two days late, but...let's gooo!
You're the MAN, Mr. Vincent! Tysm!
Thanks Joe, as per usual, for a great reminder of how unbelievable this small man was for a few years. Just incredible to watch him go way back when!
A man’s gotta be careful watching a Joe Vincent video. You might watch something that will have you teary eyed. Straight up.
Just imagine Allen Iverson going into the military and selected for Green Berets SEALS, or Force Recon. He was such a warrior.
I remember growing up You were either a fan of Kobe Bryant or Allen Iverson.
6'1 guard was such a dynamic watch in real time. Even though I'm a Laker fan I wanted to see A.I. win a championship He was so exciting to watch.
Another great documentary from you Joe still amazing to this day. Keep up the great work sir and I'm definitely going to be your exclusive subscriber now.
6 feet not 6'1
he was one of my favorite players to watch growing up, great video!
Iverson was not only perhaps the Greatest Basketball player..But one of the GREATEST ATHLETES of ALL-TIME EVER
Finally. I can die happy.
Well deserved documentary. Thank you for this
What a blessing to see this. Thanks again
