I played against Ray when he was in highschool at the Shaw Air Force Base gym in the early 90's. I saw him win the state championship. He was UNBELIEVABLE! If you've never played against an NBA hof'er...they're different. They're unstoppable.
I still remember the movie "He got game". Denzel Washington played Ray Allen's father. Ray allen might have been more recruited then A.I especially because A.I. didnt play his senior year of H.S as he was in jail for minors.
This was one of the saddest days of my childhood. The heartbreak of watching my team lose like that was rough. Didn’t even wanna go to church or eat the next morning.
One from eastern Virginia the other from Spartanburg sc they gave a trip down memory lane kinda like a tease when the not only the acc was king and the big was queen I will never forget that bigeast tournament after those the bigeast was never going to be the bigeast again and was the kinda the end for the hof coach John Thompson both would go on to be assains on the NBA level loved those battles
I remember watching that game on ESPN! UConn was very aggressive that game because A.I cooked them the game prior and Georgetown still could've won had they called a timeout to set up a play, the game was so intense, win or lose they played it out! This game was EPIC, I was rooting for Georgetown to win a national championship that year, but they lost in the Big Dance and A.I among others entered the NBA Draft that year, Great class by the way!👍👍
Jesus Shuttlesworth...one of the best jumpers in the game. Iverson too much a ball hawk; his teammates just background pieces. I saw this on tv; one of the best games ever. That Ray Allen jump shot is legend so was his future one with the Heat...tie breaking 3 pter. Best jump shot form ever; since Dale Ellis.
as a hoya fan during this time, this loss really stung and watching these highlights now, i believe ray allen's game winner was foreshadowed in the first half. ray allen had exquisite footwork that allowed him to set up one of the most devastating jump shots ever seen on a court. starting @4:46, iverson picks up allen. allen understands he's not going to beat iverson to the rim. iverson, despite gambling all over the place (ugh), would be able to recover quickly enough to challenge allen at the rim. instead iverson overplays allen's right (poor defensive positioning) and allen moves laterally from right to left to hit an incredibly difficult shot while being fouled by iverson (punctuated by iverson's frustration). now watch the game winning shot starting @7:11. once again, iverson picks up allen off the switch and again, allen moves laterally (this time from left to right) against iverson. the one difference here - iverson gives allen space on this shot versus the prior jumper where iverson fouls allen. allen does hit a crazy jumper for the win. but i really believe iverson's defense here was influenced by the prior foul. allen's superior lateral movement negated iverson's superior athleticism. if you never saw iverson live in college (i saw him live 3 times), it's easy to forget that he was clearly the best athlete every time he was on the floor. allen was able to neutralize iverson's athletic prowess with his prodigious skill set. anyway, hell of a game and one of the great battles of the big east.
Just re-watched this game the other day. #UCONN this when college hoops and especially the big east was at its best..if I remember correctly this year the big east had 3 1st team All americans..with Ray, AI and Kittles. Also Cuse lost in the chip this year..big east was no joke

Allen and Ray had them fresh fades
Their haircuts were so cool.
Tight as hell...
Ray Allen's jumper is like Ken Griffey Jr's swing (before injury) just perfect form and so money...
I saw the same shootout at the Capital Center in the DC are. Unforgettable
Ray pulled a few shots out his ass that game.
Derrick Vineyard hell yeah he did lol
Damn shame what happened to Vic, he had mad potential
Man when basketball was great.
This was a big game, big coaches and 8 months later RAY and ALLEN would be playing against the GOAT MJ and themselves for years to come.
Arianna Bolton you have a Snapchat 😍🥴

this G'Town loss still hurts.
I remember watching this as a kid. I was a big Georgetown fan. This game broke my heart
I saw this game on espnu, such a dope game. Very 90s and retro lol, that pg on uconn is nice, smart euro player
3:30-3:35 That was smooth....

Crazy how no one at the time knows a.i. and ray allen like we do now.
Nah AI WAS CRAZY IN COLLEGE
Nah Iverson was getting crazy publicity.
Near Media bro they were stars and POY candidates. Iverson was the DPOY in the Big East.
Iverson was a multiple sport recruit as well, could have played in the NHL if he wanted too.
I did
The first game of Iverson in the nba was ray Allen bucks, the 2001 eastern conference was Allen sixers vs ray Allen. Wow they are always enemies
Big East in the 90s baby!!
Ray Allen Iverson
This game changed my life
Been looking for this.Thanks man. Keep uploading throwbacks!

Those 2 shots were incredibly difficult, wasnt necessarily bad D by iverson
@@devvv4616 never said it was bad d. iverson made a defensive adjustment and that gave allen space to shoot.
Dicky V!
Memory lane
AI was a beast in college
wow.. just wow...
Battle of allens
these were the days
AI was 6’1”, 17 lbs and scary af
He wasn't 6'1" which is even more scary!
I know I'm late bt A.I. is 5'10. You should definitely know that by now.
Ok, AI wearing Jordans.

Jesus Shuttlesworth vs The Answer
The Answer and Jesus Shuttlesworth
AI got his revenge in the 01 NBA Playoffs !!!
the 01 playoff was rigged, like many other nba series. AI was the most popular man in the league so sent them to the finals.
timothy1949 what are you even saying
@@Luchechi ECF 2001 specifically here. are you new to nba?
timothy1949 how did they rig it, did your favorite team lose to them?
@@Luchechi so you are new to NBA. and that is okay.
Iverson got his payback in the nba playoffs
That was a crazy gamewinner
3-9-96, Hoyas #6, Connecticut #3.😂😂 the numbers came thru for this one folks
Dv is fucking hilarious af
Jesus shuttlesworth
Allen iverson all day ☺️
Was that Charlie Murphy in the intro
Edward Londono loool i thought so too
Anybody know how to get full Allen Iverson college games ?
It's crazy because there was still time left when it went out of bounds.. they celebrated early and I guess they said that's it
Iverson was the defensive player of the year?
Darnell Kirkland yes he was
Yes. Obviously, you weren't born when he played at Georgetown, or was a toddler at the time.
Uconn all day
Ray Allen, is the best
there was still time on the clock look closely
Ray was so great
I hated Iverson growing up but great player.
Armani Smith
He hated you too. 💯👌😉
Why?
mad af AI blew that shii , this when knicks fans were certified gtown fans .niggaz new wassup alreddy , straight politics bak then b . smh
AI one field goal in the entire 2nd half? Wow
Ray Allen with the one field goal, the game winner.
@@troyskinner8454 no. He was like 3 for something. Including game winner
