It’s because he’s doing this against people in the 90s. Once he hit the 2000s, the competition got tougher and that’s why he won no rings.

The NBA was not ready for his speed and agility

I remember seeing him and the immediate highlights, that he was like a small bird let out of the cage.

Thats a better looking court than phillys last 5 court rebrands

I’m praying our Rob Dilingham hits like this

My man is just slicing and dicing them. Funny thought! I remember his quote about practice seeing this video 😀

Back when the Sixers had a decent play by play announcer.

I remember Gordan Giriček was close to end that record but nobody told him about it before hand.

People called him the answer

no one better than Zumoff

I thought him and Stackhouse were gonna be cornerstones for at least a decade.

It’s crazy how players of previous generations become so underrated because the scrubs of today’s nba can hit 3 threes in a game.
n3moh0es
was a star off the bat, insane with his size
amateurdormjanitor
The braids are absolutely iconic, but he looked so tough with short hair too. Always funny seeing clips of young AI before the braids.

Back when 30 points meant something

Such a badass
super-dad-bod
Iverson would not be good in this era because he was so inefficient and can’t shoot /s
millerson17
I wonder how many players first points were off a goal tend it can’t be very many
cxmachi
it’d be awesome if the Raps got him and retired his jersey instead of that other bum
combat101
the first play looked like he teleported to the basket
iFlashings
If my first bucket in the NBA came from a goal tending off a failed dunk I’d be pissed. 😂

I’ve had such a love-hate relationship with Iverson. Two things that cannot be taken away from him though: – one of the most electrifying rookies in league history – one of the toughest players in league history

Can’t even recognize him without his braids.

Throwing dunks at 6′ was not real

That long-distance bounce pass! The one he skipped to Rip Hamilton about 15 years later is absolutely incredible.

Beast. Meanwhile box score/true shooting obsessed teenagers who never watched AI play will try and convince you he wasn’t good.
Testadizzy95
AI is such a handsome mfer
Beef_Supreme3489
My favorite player growing up. He was a beast.

Man, I love this guy.

I remember most of middle America attacking him his entire career because he had tattoos and baggy pants

Usually people say game changer but this guy was the league changer.

Is this the game that we die for?

Seeing AI without braids is weirding me out

Ugh I miss Marc Zumoff more than iverson. And boy did I love AI.
Meeting Zumoff in person was quite literally one of the best moments in my life. He probably thought I was a psycho because I started tearing up when I told him how he was such a big part of my childhood.

Loved being able to see him live when I lived in Philly, hell of a player
theracetowin
Man I loved AI growing up. I had no idea he dropped 30 in his debut. That’s bonkers.
Dakkin4
I loved watching him play, so much.
Texacanadian
The amazing thing is he never even practiced. He only talked about it.
Perfect-Drummer-6496
They called him “The Answer” for a reason.
AI was a problem. I remember him crossing MJ and thought daaaammmnn!
bmanley620
I wonder how many players got their first 2 points as the result of a goaltend. I’m guessing only a few
keepfighting90
One of the most electric and purely fun players ever. Youngins today will never understand his impact and appeal, but AI was probably responsible for getting a whole generation of kids into ball. He just had the sauce – so much style and heart on the court and a cultural icon off it. AI with the braids and in those black Philly jerseys was one of the most iconic symbols of early 00s basketball.

If I could grant one player an everlasting prime it would be AI. loved watching him
I-Sell-Wolf-Tickets
No first time jitters, nothing. He was cold from day one. P4P GOAT.
Sir_Meeps_Alot
This is why I love when people say Jordan wouldn’t be as great today because players are “so much more athletic and talented” or whatever. Do people think Kobe and AI couldn’t play and thrive in today’s game? Jordan was still getting MVPs around the time AI and Kobe came into the league. It’s insane some people believe athleticism has improved so drastically in the span of 10-15 years. If people think Jordan wouldn’t be as great today, they need to say the same about players like Kobe, AI, Carter, Tmac etc
