NBA Finals 2001. Lakers vs Sixers Game 1 Full Highlights, Iverson 48 pts, Shaq 44 pts HD
Спорт
Allen Iverson led the Sixers to a surprising game 1 victory over the favorited Lakers in one of the most memorable performances in NBA Finals history.
The Lakers dominated early, in what looked like to be their fourth series sweep. Scoring 16 straight points, the Lakers took a 21-9 lead over the Allen Iverson-led 76ers. Despite this major lead, Allen Iverson began dominating at the half of the 2nd quarter scoring 30 first half points. The 76ers turned the game around and even went up by 15 points during the third quarter before the Lakers started a comeback. Shaquille O'Neal was a major factor in the comeback, scoring 18 points in the quarter.
The Lakers played fantastically during the 4th quarter, and Tyronn Lue came off the bench and limited Allen Iverson to merely 3 points and had 3 assists and 2 steals of his own. The game was eventually tied at 94, and when Dikembe Mutombo missed two free throws and Eric Snow's desperation three-pointer at the buzzer bounced off the rim, the game went to overtime.
The Lakers dominated for the first half of the overtime, scoring 5 points, Raja Bell then hit a tough layup to answer followed by Allen Iverson scoring 7 straight points, including a three pointer to give them the lead followed by and step back 2-pointer over Tyronn Lue which is famously known as he stepped over Lue after hitting the shot. The 76ers finished up with a 6 point win to take the first game of the series.

Mutombo took more dunks in the face in one night from the Shaq than in an entire regular season 😆
Shaq was bullying Mutombo 💀
THIS GAME WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBER AS A.I ICONIC STEPS ON LUE😂🤣😭🤣😂
NBA used to be so much better back then
People forget that AI was the league’s best player that year. Yes that includes Kobe and Shaq
anyone noticed almost all of ai’s shots were all swooshes. Crazy
The city went crazy after we won game one. Little did we know that was the only game we would win the entire series. 🤣🤣🤣
I don’t think any shot AI made touched the rim lol unreal
8:53 for who ever came for A.I here!
Poor T lue i knew that was gonna be the most replayed part of this video 😂
Iverson my 2nd behind Jordan. That guy was relentless and a joy to watch
This is my most favorite game ever
Allen Iverson was the greatest basketball player for real. If he had one more quality player on his team 76'ers would have won lots of championships...
LOVED THIS! Thank you for the nostalgic

There was literally not a single player in the NBA who could guard either Kobe Bryant or Shaquille O'Neal in 2001-2003. They were absolutely unguardable one on one, were just too dominant. What a duo they were.

Clinic. Intelligent plays froom Iverson and Shaq. and Fox
This was the only game the lakers lost that playoff season
Shaq was a beast. I still believe that the 2001 Lakers can beat the 96 Bulls and 17 Warriors. Nobody can guard Shaq.

Wouldn't work with today's game. They would just hit 3s at a higher clip & run Shaq ragged up and down. That GS team beats anyone. I would like to see the Bulls go against them just to see how that Bulls defense would do. They had 3 all Def players on the court at a time. Also really wish we could put that Bulls team in the '80s. They had zero great team to go against from '91-'98. Much easier to dominante when ur the inly great team. Usually there are 2-3 great teams battling it out making a lot of Finals in each decade.... except the '70s & '90s... both decades that dealt with expansion teams being added which spaced out the league.
Iverson is Iverson. Bad ass shot at a pivotal time . Shaquille:s domamce shows ypu why he gets xparisons ro Malone ams Chamberlain. Wouldve emded the same way if Thep played.
Boy the lack of athleticism n 3 point shooting on that court is amazing
Pra mim, Iverson é o segundo melhor jogador , atrás do Jordan.
AI = 🐐
Poor Matt Geiger. LOL
Without Shaq they've never won the Finals 🤔 just not to stop

So unfair that they lost the Series. Iverson needed more help in terms of better roster.

I feel like the NBA was way more selfish back then. You never expected Kobe or Shaq to give up the ball. It was all about player makers and no teamwork.

Kobe avgd 16 pts on 36% shooting & 5 rbs their first Finals.... Shaq avgd 38 pts on 61% & 17 rbs lol. Another Finals Kobe avgd 25 & 8 on just 41% shooting..... Shaq avgd 33 & 16 on 57%. Shaq was head & shoulders above Kobe man. It's why Kobe doesn't have Finals MVPs for over half his teams rings. Kobe alsp shot them out of the '04 Finals avging 22 pts on a horrible 38% including going 19 for 59 the last 3 games ..... and then shot a different Laker team out of the 2008 Finals going a combined 21 for 62 the last 3 huge pivotal games. He's an All time great but he's not up there with Lebron/MJ/Magic.
