To Philly Chuck is Big Meech, Barack Obama, and King. His game embodied the spirit of our city. Pat Croche and A.I. had us believing we could really do it... and the crazy thing is the Lakers were undefeated until Game 1. I swear after Game 1 in Philly the streets was on fire, like we won the chip. Thanks for supplying the Time Machine, Shaq.

It’s not that simple. The title is still wrong for what they meant, but there absolutely is “affect” as a noun and “effect” as a verb as well. They are more specific cases, but not unheard of by any means. Ill post them next for your learning pleasure

@JTD472

EFFECT as a verb (used with object) to produce as an effect; bring about; make happen; accomplish: The new machines finally *effected* the transition to computerized accounting last spring. AFFECT as noun Psychology. feeling or emotion. Psychiatry. an expressed or observed emotional response: Restricted, flat, or blunted *affect* may be a symptom of mental illness, especially schizophrenia.

I remembered that game like yesterday. I'm a Jordan guy but I'm from the 757 just like Allen so it's only natural for me to pull for the hometown kid. Ppl from the 757 are machines we play no matter what thru injury thru pain thru weather it doesn't matter. The rest of the world was in awe at how tough Iverson was but not us because that's just normal behavior for athletes in the 757. The Mike crossover wasn't that bad at all Jordan was still there contesting the jumper so I'm not really sure why ppl even bring that up he didn't break his ankle he didn't make him fall he got a 6 inches of separation that's it. He puts his hand under the ball for every crossover which is a text book carry/travel but the league was and is still allowing it. I love bubba chuck but his crossovers are 100% a carry.

I'm still mad at Orlando for choosing Brian Hill over Shaq.

So Iverson finally admitted that he didn’t have a left hand. That makes what he did in the league even more special knowing that he went one way!

Allen changed a lot in basket, i'm writing from Italy and you can't know how AI was a God for us. He was something different from anybody else and a real gift for this sport.

All I have to say about this as a 76ers fan we had 3 guys playing on one leg (Snow, McKie, Lynch). If those guys were healthy, we could have gotten another game or 2 for sure.

@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812

Ай бұрын

That team needed more offensive players than just AI. I was rooting hard for them in that series and I'm a Celtics fan.

If you guys watched game 1. AI was cooking in the first half, on pace to probably 60 until Tyronn Lue checked in. You guys may have remembered AI stepping over him but before that he gave AI problems, 2 consecutive steals and was face guarding him the entire time he was in the game. AI really defined what heart really means.

Thats heck of rare❤

Fun fact if you see the AI step over PAY ATTENTION to PHIL JACKSON he hated Iverson and you can see him get mad telling AI to go!

That 76ers team was almost full of injuries

That crossover on Antonio Daniel’s is one of the best I’ve ever seen. He did him bad lol

I remember Dikembe talkin trash this series he said Shaq was like elephant back home😂😂

The BEST THAT DO IT!!

Yes Shaq the Micheal Jordan one!!! That crossover was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Blessings to Allen and Shaq✊🏾🤲🏾🙌🏾

Iverson Ona pause too funny 😭😭

The AI crossover. Icon basketball move of all time. Has to one of the fastest basketball skills that trended worldwide. If you were a young balla at that time you know it was a must move to have in your balla bag, streetball Everybody was trying to do it. The move was so popular. So eventually you had to know how to defend it. If you had both in ur balla bag, oh man Forget about it.

35 15 single coverage is a good job. That’s like a season average when he’s motivated and going against double teams

I remember watching that game live vs Wizards the way he set up that crossover on Antonio Daniels I couldn't believe it because he dropped him Daniel got back up and got dropped again😅

"Killers Respect Killers"-A.I. on Kobe Basically A.I. versus Kobe & Shaq. If it wasn't for that Duo A.I. would've had about 2, 3 Rings/Championships 🏆🏆🏆. Rest in Peace to Kobe "Bean" Bryant 🙏🕊️AKA "The Black Mamba" 🐍#8#24

That Sixers team only had Iverson as an offensive threat, AI needed a co star ⭐️ that’s the worst team outside the Cavs to make the finals.

The reason why I think people with simple minds counting championships is disrespectful to sports. Guys like Iverson that made it to the finals basically by himself without other all star caliber players on his team should get a lot more credit than they get. I think they achieved more than some players that have won championships against teams that just weren’t as good.
