he had the coach of the year, sixth man of the year, and defensive player of the year on his team. 2001 Lakers were the best playoff team in NBA history though.
Yea can u see how less skilled everyone is. Imagine still being able to play defense w only 4 people. Some of the defense makes me cringe. U can’t leave shooters open now and u can’t get away with all the fouls and violations I see
I remember this series. Iverson was insane. One of the best to ever play the game. He got robbed as he had no help. I remember people who didn't even usually watch basketball tuning in to see this series. Legendary.
Iverson was the MVP and he had the Coach of the year on his team, Defensive Player of the YEar, AND the sixth man of the year. He had plenty. But this Lakers team was the best playoff team in history.
Hate when people say ai was a ball hog and act like his team was built for this lakers team. He did all he could on the offensive end and also had his fair share of plays with assists and steals, lakers were just too dominant
For all the new generation talk about the teams today. You have never seen a force like shaq. He would absolutely destroy these 6-9 centers today. You don't want them problems.
The Lakers were built to make deep runs into the playoffs. They had already swept through the Kings and Spurs who were good teams in their own right. AI played his heart out but the Lakers weren’t going to let a team led by a 6’ guard take away their title. 76ers lacked depth and couldn’t sustain the inside outside attack of the Lakers. AI was going to get his points but it was going to take a lot of attempts to get them. Shaq was a monster with a damn good sidekick.
the Lakers did a lot of flopping on defense and also got away with a lot as per the refs not calling many fouls, the Sixers also didn't use Bell enough throughout the series
Well watched for 2 mins and seen shaq elbow mutumbo in the face and the most blatant offensive above the rim interface ever and neither called. Wonder why 76ers lost 🧐🤣
Iverson is a Legend the dude is so talented in the finals he jus had no help.
oh shut up with these the excuses. he had help to get to the finals didn't he? goofy ass
He had help but not enough help...
He def had help lol shaq and kob was just too good. Mans was the Mvp, he had the Dpoy, 6moy, and Coy on his team.

Iverson and those AMAZING sneakers , brilliant flip on original playoff colourway.
Shaqs passing gotta be the most under appreciated under rated things ever.
Unfortunately this NBA no longer exists

The league was in a rut after Jordan retired until the boom of skill came back in 2010s. Let’s call it how it is.

How is not having help equal getting robbed lmao
one of the best games of shaq. most dominate ever
Shaq and kobe best duo to ever do it fr nba was lit when they was together go lakers 💜💛
AI's outfit was cool AF back then, we all put on like that back...miss those days so damn much...
Me being from Philly we knew in our hearts we had to play perfect, and still we couldn't beat this Lakers team.
Shaq never used his left hand but it’s ok cause it didn’t matter who he was going against. NOBODY IS HOLDING HIM.
Do you want a pissed off Shaq coming at you.
1:08 BBQ CHICKEN 🔥
series was never in doubt

Iverson doing a 1v5 against the lakers.
Been a laker fan since magic left & they sucked lol it was a pleasant surprise to witness the Ring from the Lakers 💜💛💜💛
the lakers never sucked post-magic they only missed the playoffs one time in the 90s compared to the trash lakers from 2014 to 2019

Yeah!!! Is Kobe Bryant's Hometown in Philadelphia Pennsylvania

They wouldn't have won regardless, quit with these whiny ass conspiracy theory excuses. The Sixers relied HEAVILY on Iverson for their entire offense.
Im sou damn sure if theres nou shaq in that series the story was completly diferent most of the l.a offense start with him in the post
Sixers had been out of fuel facing the great defense of Lakers
Well they were going off on offense and then having to face shaq on defense its got to be exhausting
Mutombo can't handle shaq
No O’Neal maybe winner is 76s
nah they 76ers would still lose but in 6 or 7
Sixers will win..A.I is great..put him in Lakers and kobe on sixers..AI would win..
Lol no one from the sixers would stop kobe he could avg 30pt easy in that series he was leding both teams in asst and stl
1st
Kaya NGA d ko pinag papasin mga fake buong pa khit mga bautistas kalo elvie
its crazy that the 2000-01 lakers only won 56 games that year. thats a 66-68 win team if I ever saw one lmao
