Throwback: Kobe Bryant 31 vs Allen Iverson 23 Duel Highlights (NBA Finals 2001 Game 2), Trash Talk!

Honestly if Iverson had gotten SOME fouls calls this game I feel like the Sixers would’ve won and this series I feel like would’ve turned out differently

MVP VS MVP We call it classic face-off

Ai didnt know the refs doesnt like em 😌

Kobe would’ve been a senior in college…but he’s defending an NBA championship.

AI so so tough! I’m

Compare to the NBA today, i prefer the earlier time

These two born in the 1970s like myself,many talented people born in that decade alone. Allen Iverson June 7,1975 and Kobe Bryant August 23,1978 RIP!

Was this the same year that the Lakers got all the calls against the Kings or was that 2002?? Looks like Iverson was onto something here with the refs. That said Kobe was the man RIP :(

Kobe won't shit without a supporting cast member...AI had nobody...AI was way better than Kobe

Even the refs from this era had personalities

Kobe always my Guy but AI "UnStoppable"

Much better times.. today NBA is so boring

Imagine if Kobe and Iverson were on the same squad.

One of my fav games ...

I started loving basketball because of Iverson and Kobe

Home court referees really cooked the game so well. I hope they are doing well in life.

I need a pair of answers after that

If only AI took basketball seriously he might get multiple rings. He’s very talented but don’t take practice seriously

Mad respect to A.I. im kobe fan but im sure kobe got a hard time with A.I., thos is pure entertainment at its finest specially game 1

AI and Kobe was a good match up

The refs were paid.

Ai sucked in the game 2 Kobe outplayed him by ALOT but yall praise AI cause of his handles and appearance

Cómo todo buen jugador salido de la calle y rápido se descartan y lo minimizan por los árbitros ....Allen es el único que distorsiono los juegos de NBA por todos sus habilidades y recursos que tenía ningún jugador era así...claro la NBA es una mafia nunca dejarían que una figura como Allen dejen que sea campeón imagínense que lo hubieran permitido ser campeón a Allen sería un fenómeno que revasaria a la propia NBA....

Even when Kobe Bryant was youg he'd answer his questions stoically, positively, and with excitement knowing his opponent was was a challenging foe. His sidline interviews are the best. RIP 🙏 ✝️💜

I think this championship was my favorite one to watch the Lakers win.

Scores

The only difference here is that Kobe had Shaq. Exclude that fact and Iverson would have a ring.

He rubbed Iverson's hair and ear. Wtf he like "oh Iverson you so sexy

It was 5 on 1

To bad IA never own a Champ

And he was only 5'11

Por eso coby siempre me cayó gordo por qué era imitador de Jordan en todo, Iverson siempre fue original y no tuvo como que ay una pareja para usarla y poder ganar ,de echo así es ese equipo de los lakers todos los que caen ahí quieren lo mismo y hacer solo uno el mejor nadie saca su equipo adelante y se echa esa responsabilidad en los hombros,como los de antes pero los amarillos siempre quieren ser los mejores y salen perdiendo ahora con su Lebron pero los Warriors por lo regular ganan,ahí no importa sacar la lengua,retacarla a dos manos hacer super jugadas ,solo los tiros de curry y tompson y con eso tienen para ganar cuentan los puntos no la crema que le pongan.

Kobe's trash talk in the last minutes was totally unnecessary that proved he's too young and cocky then. Felt sorry for Iverson while watching the series, he had very little help offensively from the teammates. The 76ers just didn't have a lineup for a ring that year.

You know they panicked when ai had the rock

AI and Kobe had a cold mid range game.

The new NBA couldn’t handle this level of competition.

Imagine AI in a league without hand checks….

SMH 🤦🏾‍♂️ when the ref talking bout “if I see it I’ll call it.” Knowing what we know now. The 76ers just showed up really 🤷🏽‍♂️. If iverson would’ve been an nba champ in this era the league would’ve went a different direction

Who remembers when offensive players played to score the ball and defensive players played to stop them. Nowadays both sides of the ball play for a whistle

AI made that Sixers shirt a symbol to so many kids from that generation and after💯

Face the truth that they won at the help of ref... A dirty game..

Sixers could have this too but the refs were corrupt

Look at how active Kobe was on defence. He was a nightmare to deal with even so young

I was there live at Staples Center, and the energy was amazing. I tell you what
😃😀😃😀😃😀
I miss the old Kobe and Shag days at
the Staples Center 😔
Rest in peace, KOBE & GIGI 🪦🙏
Gone But Never Forgotten
LAKERS FOR LIFE..!

They gave the lakers this game smh this nigga ain’t shoot one free throw whole game with obvious fouls
