Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson
SUPER-DUEL Full Highlights
LA Lakers vs Philadelphia 76ers
December 20, 2002
First Union Center
KB - 44 pts, 10a, 2b, 1s / 16-35 fg, 2-5 3pt, 10-10 ft
AI - 32 pts, 5a, 9 stl / 11-33 fg, 3-5 3pt, 7-13 ft
Great battle between arguably the 2 best guards in the league (at the time). If not for McGrady’s incredible ‘03 campaign, this would be no argument. Allen Iverson’s absurd total of 9 steals in this matchup tied a career-high. Although a Lakers’ loss, Kobe produced yet another timeless gem for the archive. He wore Jordan 6 “Chrome” Lows, one of many memorable kicks donned during his sneaker free agency season.

Like I said, don’t care about the losses, just keep em coming. A GREAT KB game. No weaknesses during this season. And the man bunnies is stupid!!!! Also, shouts to the Answer. He was a serious problem during that era of basketball.

Never seen this before. Iverson was definitely moving twice as fast as anybody else on the court.
Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson are 2 of the greatest and most compelling performers in NBA history.

Daang A.I.'s energy was unmatched in his early years
Iverson was amazing. He wasn't gifted with size, but heavily made up for it with heart and talent. People like Shaq and LeBron are great athletes, but owe their success to their size. Iverson was one of the FEW select players that could compete at an MVP level without having a big body.

A.I. didn't duel with Kobe, though, because A.I. was a point guard.
Still can’t believe how someone that small was able to dominate a team that had Kobe and a giant in the middle in Shaq.
Iverson was a 1 man show. Classic
Rest easy Kobe 🙏🏾

Win or lose Dom Carter just keep those Kobie's babies coming. They are the best well-played games out there. The way he plays his games is amazing, keep elevating himself. His games keep getting better and better. Nobody plays or practice as hard as Kobe does, he gives the fans what they came for and that a game they can remember and talk about, it's never a dull moment with him and the Lakers. I want to see all of Kobe's games, win or lose, I still want to see them. So if you have these games of Kobe's post them online for us. We love these Kobie's babies. We love him and the Lakers. Thank you so very much.

Iverson had the quickest and fastest footwork ever i history nba. which made his direction changes impossible to catch for defense. every step he moves with or without ball is faking and crossing the defender. such amazing talent. but imposrtantly his stamina was 99.999999999999999999999%

AI only put in the insane work in game, and sacrificed his health over and over and over because he didnt put in extra work anywhere near kobes level.

That Sixers team was so small in the paint. Only plan they could run was a fast paced O with a very conservative D.
9 steals against the Lakers at 6 feet tall, and a 6"3 wingspan.

The Shots off of turn around fadeaway that Kobe hits with pure ease still amazes me till this day! I got to meet him one day probably 1-2 years after he retired and the guy is literally a little more than 3/4 my size but pure muscle👀. The only thing scarier than him from a size standpoint that I met was Lebron. Unreal! But RIP Mamba!🙏🏾

AI doesn’t get enough credit for his defence. Yeah he wasn’t much of a stopper 1on1 but he was so incredibly disruptive and kept opponents on their heels all night moving the ball. He was such a persistent threat to steal the ball. Considering how small he was, he really made up for his shortcomings.

The problem with playing passing lanes is, it's risky. A.I. didn't give much effort defensively otherwise, so he really wasn't a good defender.

10:34 Hey AI, that's a traveling.
The OT at the end is real dramatic
what a throw by rick fox
What a great shot blocker like dwight howard would do to bother shots when he wasnt even in the direct vicinity of guys is exactly what Iverson would do to ball handlers because of his ability to steal the ball and he doesn't get a lot of credit for that.
