It's not anybody's fault here that you have no sense of humor. And I could give a damn about chick and the Lakers. And I don't know or care what SMH means. It's cringe-worthy when people use acronyms.
@Steve Argento Thanks for that vital knowledge! Very important stuff! For so long I've needed another acronym to add to my textual communication repertoire! OMG LOL STFU and now SMH! You should charge for that kind of information.
I love Chick Hearn's commentating. Dude was an "NBA commentator" more than a "Lakers commentator". He was a fan of everyone and appreciated talent more than anyone else and he showed it. No matter how old school he was, he loved Iverson's game.
The one thing i remember about A.I. is that he had the stamina of a friggin wolf. He played *every* single second as if it were game 7 with 5sec left on the clock. Truly one of a kind
Iverson crossover was much more lethal, but Kyrie has that ball on a got damn yo-yo. Irving makes dribbling look like it's apart of natural human function. Let's not do that... Irving is different.
Lol Paul Pierce is mine but AI is most definitely in my top 5 of all time and I don't even like Philly teams, no disrespect but they have some really piss poor fans.
Chick Hearn was the best play by play guy I've ever heard... the game was so much fun when he called them... he also was very honest and called the game like a fan would...none like him to this day.
if iverson put in the work like mj, kobe, lebron in PRACTICE, the weight room and nutrition (if he put on 20lbs of muscle), he would have been much better than he was but he was too into the "thug life" and wanting to look like a gangsta to all the wannabe gangstas out there, which he did. he was still an all time great but what he could've been with the discipline a true professional has... we'll never know. as far as the goat, come on, let's not go crazy here, there is only one goat and his name is mike.
Iverson never cared bout the 3point line. Didn't obsess about making sure he was behind it like players today. I think that's an awesome mental strategy
He didn't obsess over it because coaches and organizations weren't stressing over it like now. Well actually he probably wouldn't have cared either way lmfao so you right
people are forever talking about when Iverson crossed Jordan but never about him shaking Kobe. He shook Kobe no telling how many times. He can shake anyone lol
kobe bryant fans do not want to deal with reality....iverson was kobe's reality...hard for any kobe fan to accept...iverson used to roast his punk ass!!!😄😄😂😂
AI had everyone’s respect because Shaq never helped anyone up, AI was a straight baller he’s the one that brought the street game to the NBA in my opinion. #str8baller#crossoverking#respect

God it feels so good to listen to Chick Hearn call a game. The memories of listening to his play by play is great. It is great for him to give AI so much praise.
Mike Lowery He said Melo in his later years in an interview. He said it’s because Melo is so strong when he backs you down it’s impossible to stop him.
AI was the second best pure scorer to the young Jordan that I ever seen. He wasn't as versatile as Jordan but he didn't need to be when you look at his short comings as far as his size and that's what made him incredible that he was torching dudes at barely 6 feet tall and only 165Ibs. He was gifted for sure. People always say if AI was bigger he would of been unstoppable but than he might of not been as fast as he was.
asa lim he was pretty much done bro that was his later years Bro. If he had a good small forward and a legitimate center, they would have killed and won a chip or 2
I followed AI as a kid from Georgetown playing with Victor Page to his NBA debut. AI is one of best players I've ever seen. Man I wish his team would have got one ring. Of course the NBA made sure that would not happen. Man I miss those days. Jordan, Kobe, Allen Iverson, Shaq all in the league at the same time.
@@dangerousbeats8332 I remember, him an victor page went nuts, you no a lil something about basketball....Rip Koby, Gianna an everyone on da plane. MY heart goes out 2 all da family members🙏💔 🏀💯
His agility, footwork and sheer speed made him a puzzle to crack for so many hall of famers. The bigger guys really have to read is right, because with AI there was no second chance
Paul H how is he able to play with earrings in? Either the league is a joke, or perhaps this is why he never will never have a championship ring bc he defies the refs and the league!
When Derrick Fischer played for the Jazz in the early 2000s he came to my elementary school for a assembly and we got to ask him questions I asked who the hardest person he ever had to play against was and with no hesitation he said Allen Iverson he said he's like playing a 2 year old in a mans body he has non stop hustle and energy and could break your ankles at anytime
+Steven Tinker (aMOODIEsteve) The meaning behind it was that they had him sitting there in a POST-GAME conference asking him about practices when they don't matter at that point in time because he's playing his butt off.
6:10 That right there is why I will always like Shaquille O'Neal. I've never seen an opposing team member help someone up. That's just true sportsmanship from Shaq.
I don't know what you were looking at but that shit is pretty basic and common...btw Shaq never helped anyone up, he put out his hand to Iverson because he gave him a nasty knee, plus he respected him
With action on the court like this, and Chick Hearn doing commentary makes me miss the good days of nba basketball. True by the end of the 90’s rivalries started becoming more individually personal and not team to team, but it was still great to watch.
"now watch this, head and shoulder fake, step back go again, driving kobe nuts, bring the ball off the ground, twenty foot jumper, that's good and we're tied at 43"
This man changed the whole NBA structure!!! Now you have to wear a suit, no jewelry, no entourage. If he was playing now, his heart alone would make him the best. Took the worst finals team in NBA history to the finals!!!!
+Saul Hernandez yall still don't understand that the media took that wayyyy outta context. He was saying "You are interviewing me about PRACTICE? Not the game that I love, but PRACTICE?!" Get that right.
we all know they only used an excerpt from that whole interview and it was completely out of context,but its still funny to talk about.The NBA hated A.I thug persona and would do anything to put him in a bad light.
Had the distinct pleasure of chatting with him up at Footlocker on City Line Ave. Truly a great player but a true humble man. He is an iconic symbol in Philly and always will be. We love ya Chuck
AI is like the Dan Marino of the NBA. Absolutely great player but was stuck on not the best team, so he didnt get the glory he would have if things were different
John Smith he never learned to play team ball. He ran jerry Stackhouse outta town. Who before iverson was the leading scorer on the sixers. Iverson wanted all that shine and didn’t want to share it. Trynna Street ball his way though the nba. I’m glad Larry Brown won with a team that bought into his style and iverson ended up being an underachiever. Shit iverson couldn’t get out of the first round with Carmelo and billuos took his place and they ended in the wcf. I rather take leadership and basketball IQ, than talent and flash
He didn't stuck he wants to play for phila.and he cried after phila traded him into another team.he even kiss the logo of sixers in the court.btw sorry for my bad english
I wouldn’t say they were a bad team let alone one of the worst, not to mention they had one of the best coaches ever, great roll players and a super star, they were a good team man.
@@armandocarlos3805 Lets be real man that Sixers squad without Ai would be a lottery team and most of the players on that squad would be bench players in the league now or wouldn't even be in the league.. They were trash
Yo WHO is this commentator? LMAO "he better pass it to iverson or else he'll be sitting on the bench" "What kinda pass was that unless he was passing it to me" "I dont know what that was" "Lakers turning over faster than you do it in a bakery" LMFAO no chill who is he 😂😂
Man that's the late great Chick Hearn. I/we here in LA grew up off of him broadcasting Laker games. He would have me cracking up every game! Chick was the best!... Years ago former Laker Vlade divac thru a pass way up into the stands. Chick Hearn was like, "you need King Kong AND a ladder to catch that pass!" LMAO! #NoChill
Its crazy when the basketball on TH-cam from the 90's is better than todays basketball. It's became way to soft, too much flopping, crying & the refs won't let em play. They call every little touch foul their is. These guys paved the way for todays generation of "ballers".
I just noticed that in this game, Kobe' crossover looks like Iverson's. I feel like players in those days were modeling their games to Iverson because he is too good
Yup Kobe stole Iverson's crossover but Ai admitted that Kobe was one of the best to do it Kobe was the best at taking other players moves and doing it just as good
No. He was perfect as his center gravity was very low to the ground thus giving him the innate quickness and sharp speed. Think about it this way: he was like Basketball's Messi.
Bryant Johnson this was most likely transferred from a VHS, anybody who owns the master tapes (not VHS) could get this footage remastered and released in HD.
Kobe was the Michael Jordan of his era, Its crazy how one of your childhood hero dies so abruptly like that and not to mention his daughter Gianna who just started playing and developing potential. RIP Kobe Bryant RIP Gianna Bryant RIP Chick Hearn
Actually This is the 99 season so Kobe is a rookie at this time, A.I was way better than Kobe and LeBron was always the childhood era of the early 2000’s
Kobe earned his respect but he was more privileged than AI was. AI came in and was straight guts, you could tell he was from the hood and he didn' let the NBA bend him over. Kobe was kinda like the golden boy up until Shaq left and he really had to become the best in that era. I think he really felt the pressure that AI had after the rape trial. It made them kinda similar even thought they didn't have the same exact incident.
Allen cocky as he was ..was no sell out .. He was the original trendsetter but personal afflictions and the fact that he had major trust issues stemming back from his time in prison .::which wasn't even his fault but lousy police work from a hick town ..he had so much potential but he was a hurt a very hurt individual
geminis are bad ass...glad i am one...prince, iverson, tupac, biggie, clint make my day eastwood, etc...if i die i want to come back a gemini again....😎😎😎👍👍😀😀

we all know they only used an excerpt from that whole interview and it was completely out of context,but its still funny to talk about.The NBA hated A.I thug persona and would do anything to put him in a bad light.
+Saul Hernandez Yea, different = Thug to the NBA slave masters (owners)
ai
not here because of kobes death, just enjoying watching two great players
No one ask
Those were the days 😀 so glad to be apart of it
Artificial Intelligence was one of the best to ever lace'em up.
LMAO
Had the distinct pleasure of chatting with him up at Footlocker on City Line Ave. Truly a great player but a true humble man. He is an iconic symbol in Philly and always will be. We love ya Chuck
A.I ballin with the earring on.
Miss those days!
Was a band-aid bruh.......
@@laneallen7704 the band aid is used to cover the earring...
Lane Allen dumb ass jit 🤦🏻♂️
You see that...iverson got hi them in his ear
AI is like the Dan Marino of the NBA. Absolutely great player but was stuck on not the best team, so he didnt get the glory he would have if things were different
You couldn't have said it any better
Exactly nd I'm a dolphins fan fuck stacked with picks for this coming draft hope tanking ain't for nothing
John Smith he never learned to play team ball. He ran jerry Stackhouse outta town. Who before iverson was the leading scorer on the sixers. Iverson wanted all that shine and didn’t want to share it. Trynna Street ball his way though the nba. I’m glad Larry Brown won with a team that bought into his style and iverson ended up being an underachiever. Shit iverson couldn’t get out of the first round with Carmelo and billuos took his place and they ended in the wcf. I rather take leadership and basketball IQ, than talent and flash
He didn't stuck he wants to play for phila.and he cried after phila traded him into another team.he even kiss the logo of sixers in the court.btw sorry for my bad english
Didn’t the dolphins go undefeated
"This Little Guy A Eat You Up.....He'll Eat Your Lunch!" ......LOL!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
+Jonston Baines Lol!
Uh. This was 1999 and dude sounds like he's 70, so...that's just how old people talked back then.
+ChrisJWattsTV lmao! When he say's "passes the ball to nobody, unless it's me" at 5:48
+ChrisJWattsTV The Legendary Chick Hern, he has his own street out here in LA
R.I.P Chick Hearn, no one will ever do it better
AI had so much heart! A great player!
I miss Chick Hearn's Voice soooooo MUCH..... best voice for LA Lakers
.
To this day, AI is still my favorite baller of all time.
Took one the worst teams ever to the nba finals!!!
Iverson you GOAT
They had great defense though, but yea it was amazing that he took them to the finals.
And won a game
I wouldn’t say they were a bad team let alone one of the worst, not to mention they had one of the best coaches ever, great roll players and a super star, they were a good team man.
So did Bron both had no help when they did it
@@armandocarlos3805 Lets be real man that Sixers squad without Ai would be a lottery team and most of the players on that squad would be bench players in the league now or wouldn't even be in the league.. They were trash
RIP Kobe Bryant my two all time favorite players💙
Christina Freeman big facts
I always knew in my spirit Kobe felt this way about AI just wouldn't thought I would ever hear him admit it
Yo WHO is this commentator? LMAO
"he better pass it to iverson or else he'll be sitting on the bench"
"What kinda pass was that unless he was passing it to me"
"I dont know what that was"
"Lakers turning over faster than you do it in a bakery"
LMFAO no chill who is he 😂😂
+KazamaMishima98 The legend Chick Hearn. He passed in 2002. He has not missed announcing a Laker game from 1965 to 2001. Damn I miss that dude.
+KazamaMishima98 chick hearn bruh the goat
Chick Hearn, a legend in LA and all of sportscasting. An amazing man with an amazing voice.
KazamaMishima98 this man had me cracking up lol
Man that's the late great Chick Hearn. I/we here in LA grew up off of him broadcasting Laker games. He would have me cracking up every game! Chick was the best!... Years ago former Laker Vlade divac thru a pass way up into the stands. Chick Hearn was like, "you need King Kong AND a ladder to catch that pass!" LMAO! #NoChill
9:23 Shaq is like tf is going on here
...hahahaha exactly...but in that look he shows real respect not only for AI but for the 76Xers also... :)
NICEDOPPY yea our d was good too cant discredit anyone on that squad
Joe Springman LAKERS STILL WON 😂😂😁🙄
No. They did not.
A couple steps faster than everyone, crazy handles, great jumpshot, killer instinct, and heart that will fight to the end - Allen Iverson.
The only way to solve the problem is with the Answer
no way !
No you can't.
Whoathereitsben lol that was nice
Whoathereitsben no, practice!
Whoathereitsben know k .cammkclvf in kvd in vjf&high jjrr?
6:28: "driving Kobe nuts" lol. I wouldn't know what to do either.
Fake lol
Kobe's D was way too tight
Its crazy when the basketball on TH-cam from the 90's is better than todays basketball. It's became way to soft, too much flopping, crying & the refs won't let em play. They call every little touch foul their is. These guys paved the way for todays generation of "ballers".
Everything in the 90s is better than now.
Yeah these b ballers of today are way too soft, the WNBA Ballers play harder than they do.
@@FreshAir79 #Facts
Don't knock it, LeBron is making a Hall of Fame career playing in this generation of no defense basketball.
smith lovy facts people don’t realize how dumb they sound when they say players are to soft when the league is the one implementing the rules
I just noticed that in this game, Kobe' crossover looks like Iverson's. I feel like players in those days were modeling their games to Iverson because he is too good
Iverson made so many defenders look stupid it wasnt funny...
@@Swagalious689 including jordan
Yup Kobe stole Iverson's crossover but Ai admitted that Kobe was one of the best to do it Kobe was the best at taking other players moves and doing it just as good
Who the hell is the amazing announcer? "Hooting and howling"
We need to start making more old people from the WW1 era. The baseball and basketball announcers were great.
CharlieHaggis right? This guy is amazing!
"That was a pass to nobody unless it was to me.." Bruh... The original savage. LOLZ
CharlieHaggis koo mom
CharlieHaha
The best player in my eyes. Imagine this guy, with the same casts as lakers. Too bad Philly never invested in AI.
THAT is the best commentator I've ever heard! Its like he is an auctioneer :D:D
What kind of auctioner?
Now imagine if AI were 6'6" like MJ and Kobe and had at least one other superstar-level sidekick on his team, like a Shaq or a Pippen.
Han-Gwon Lung Shaq is not a sidekick
Wouldnt be as quick as he was in his own height.
No. He was perfect as his center gravity was very low to the ground thus giving him the innate quickness and sharp speed. Think about it this way: he was like Basketball's Messi.
Fuck a scottie pippen
He probably would have won a championship but I'm not sure they would beat those Lakers team those Detroit Pistons teams or those Spurs teams
Iverson woulda put clamps on curry if he played in his prime today
Edit: 😪 Rip Kobe Bryant 💔 one of my idols
+TroubleMan Dblock SHUTUP FOR CHRISTS SAKE
+TroubleMan Dblock GOAT 1 on 1 player
Rafael crawford-persaud FAXS. Curry good but he puttin up them numbers against these bum ass guards in the league
no he wouldn't bro... curry is the best shooter that anyone has ever seen... besides 1 ring vs 0 rings says it all.
+TroubleMan Dblock so true lmfaooo
"A little guy, six feet!" Meanwhile me 5'7" 😫
To be fair, iverson was actually 5’11 5’10.
0:07 He's trying to solve the problem, but the problem is the Answer.
; -)
"Watch this head and shoulder fake, step back, go again driving Kobe nuts" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 it's like he was rapping, all he needs is some beats from timberland
Somebody should songify Chick Hearn
6:25 The commentator had me dying laughing 😂
Yooooo!!! Lmao!!!😂😂😂
He sounded like that American pie funny dad guy lol
LMBO...
The late great chick hern
From 2 minutes in......😂😂
Shaq with that unnecessary no look pass and got picked off by Iverson.
DarkWater4Eva yeah I thought that was uber lazy too. Especially for a vet.
This comment 😂😂😂
Video Technology has advanced so much in the past 2 decades that this clip from 99 looks like a VHS tape in the 80s.
lolololololololol don't it tho
Bryant Johnson this was most likely transferred from a VHS, anybody who owns the master tapes (not VHS) could get this footage remastered and released in HD.
Kobe was the Michael Jordan of his era, Its crazy how one of your childhood hero dies so abruptly like that and not to mention his daughter Gianna who just started playing and developing potential.
RIP Kobe Bryant
RIP Gianna Bryant
RIP Chick Hearn
Kobe played against MJ
Actually This is the 99 season so Kobe is a rookie at this time, A.I was way better than Kobe and LeBron was always the childhood era of the early 2000’s
@@oof3479 this is the lockout season Kobe was 3 years in by this point bruh🤦🏾♂️
2:57 "Quickness and speed: you put those things together and you've got a dynamite package."
Kobe earned his respect but he was more privileged than AI was. AI came in and was straight guts, you could tell he was from the hood and he didn' let the NBA bend him over. Kobe was kinda like the golden boy up until Shaq left and he really had to become the best in that era. I think he really felt the pressure that AI had after the rape trial. It made them kinda similar even thought they didn't have the same exact incident.
sonofaballer96 😂😂😂😂😂
sonofaballer96 kobrick another silver spoon bitch living off his fathers name like stef
lethalfatality still one of the greatest
facts
lethalfatality Kobes better than A.I who earned everything he got
Iverson, Kobe: Show.
Much respect for Iverson he became a inspiration in the game and major style and cross signature moves ..
Allen cocky as he was ..was no sell out .. He was the original trendsetter but personal afflictions and the fact that he had major trust issues stemming back from his time in prison .::which wasn't even his fault but lousy police work from a hick town ..he had so much potential but he was a hurt a very hurt individual
geminis are bad ass...glad i am one...prince, iverson, tupac, biggie, clint make my day eastwood, etc...if i die i want to come back a gemini again....😎😎😎👍👍😀😀
+Shawn Johnson Yup !
Only females care about zodiac signs bro.
Nick Zakwan they are interesting to me..challenges my gemini mind...💯😀
Adolfs Beauty Palace ok? ....you need to take your meds...something wrong with you.
2:39 “this little guy will eat you up, he’ll eat your lunch”🤣🤣 yooo he gotta chill💀
Kyla Nichelle right
That's an old figure of speech...during my time.
This little guy will eat you up. He'll eat your lunch. He will DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!
Lmao
lol
and he is a loser
+shaiderr L L L L L
+shaiderr fuck you bitch A.I is one of the greatest!
I remember this game. AI was a little beast. Opponents like AI made Kobe a stronger player.
