Kobe Bryant NEVER forgot Allen Iverson after this game *AI 41pts (1999)

when a I as a competitor you drove me to be as obsessive more obsessive about the game because I had to figure out how to solve that problem you know and and I told them I saw me this weekend I said man you don't realize how much you pushed me and I don't think you know people nowadays realize how great you were as a player and you know how big of a problem you were for for defenses happy for them both [Applause] you better get alert tonight Lakers Shaq is ready for the war and he's talking to Glen Rice and said you ready fella and lenses I've been ready since I was traded from Charlotte well Allen Iverson is a little guy and you just can't keep track of it that's the key chicka what do you do with Allen Iverson do you play someone in the side or do you put somebody long on him I prefer to put somebody long on him with some quickness make him settle for the outside shot because you're not gonna stop the young man from getting to the rest at the outset they're gonna have Kobe Bryant trying to guard him ball near tipped too soon and to give the ball to Philadelphia Shaq got it about the head high in the game I didn't say made him I said he took 32 google drive the baseline comes underneath feeds about the Giger 19 foot jumper no good we've got tipped by Iverson no good but a great tribe by a little guy six feet Oh was that a great right here's Kobi stopping for a 19 footer and upstairs a hollering Hooten how as they've got a compartment up there well transitions feel I ever seen [Applause] getting used to that now here's a foul on night the Lakers are committing some of the silliest plays in the history of Laker basketball we believe that is the ball by Iverson dribble Drive comes in deep stepped off of the past nice play by Kobe defensively now I ever since shoots a long two by Archer good but that's the shots are gonna have to make out and beat you with keep him out of the paint Michigan State and then spake did he travel no dribble rice shuts him off now here's Iverson dribbling jumper hits it Wow okay that wasn't bad he picked a tall by Soviet his good defense he forced him into that long shot the ball dials in anything he shoots it's reporter he finally mister rebound a Shaq no-look pass a hacker intercepted by Iverson he's he's beautiful to watch 17 footer good you can't be lazy with a ball like the Lakers are bringing it in bounce this little guy leech up he'll eat your lunch well they got a loose ball foul on that play on Theo Ratliff and that's going to send a retro town I don't send Travis Knight to the line Allen Iverson it's just so quick chick he just sat back baited Shaquille to make that pass then intercepted it and gets the basket just quickness and speed you put the book and post things together you've got a dynamite pack between free throws he can't get the shot off you saw Shaq the corner three long shots for him he's got a total of nine points over there one and two this is the fourth game of six games and nine days after tonight we fly to Orlando for Sunday's game dribble drive Brian that's a heck of a move and it shows it up and in Oh a lot of marvelous play kick his first step is still one of the best in the way he hands and feet will drive along the sideline Kobe he's in trouble over there against the sidelines trying to get out of it against snow comes in deep stop 17 footer good what a play they had him pinned on the sideline and he dribbled out of it I don't know if you ever have Kobe pinned he ain't teamed up with eight Fisher give the ball to Kobe Kobe is very much into this game he stops his 20 foot jumper that's good he's really into this game Laura Marion Pennsylvanians worries from that just down the road a 9-iron the 24 inbound pass Kobe fires from distance that's he's not that strong now they catch it and throw it the other way to Lynch and he scores bad shot by Kobe yeah I know they only had three seconds but he could have taken a bouncing shot at I think at the end of the quarter it doesn't count now the referees are in an argument snow gives the ball out to Lynch Lynch over to the two Iverson drives in deep at the base line brings it back to Ratliff 19 put her on the way a nice shot he measured that shot yeah he majored it but you'd rather have Bratton of shooting at 20 footer and run it out and Iverson's no against Fisher just about as well as I've seen Fischer play this year i Everson with the ball I was the foul was on Shaquille O'Neal trying to help out that's two fouls on Shaq and pick-and-roll and Island Iverson gets down the middle without basically anybody competing against him reaches in at the end just a little bit of a touch foul but they protect the shooters three-point opportunity he wants to give it to him he better or else he'll be on the bench ball over to Iverson I was in dribble Drive nice play you've got to have help on that play because he's so fast this is Fisher cheats looking for the screen explosion step baseline by out and Iverson gets to the basket scores easy Harper with the ball in the laker leave in 37 when the Lakers run into a buzzsaw defense here's Kobe at the baseline reaches out up and under oh they made the shot up another leaving snow in his wake 41 to 37 and the Lakers now trying to hang on defensively Iverson tries another one he hits another juice actually baskets in a row for him our Perkins Iverson he's around Ivers and he throws the ball to nobody unless it's me snow has got it Ivarsson forget it baby lay it in he blows it but then tipped up and in nice play by he'll well she'd ever saved her on layups Iverson's missed - absolutely ups in this quarter led the pylon shot and the kid they pretty hard the shacks got to come out of the game now that's three files to 409 to play in the first about 10,000 20,000 they were here paid to see him play and they clapped because he goes out with foul ball dives and he's got the green light to shoot any time he wants like right about now watch this head and shoulder fake step back go again driving Kobe nuts bring the ball off the ground 20-foot number that's good and we're tied at 43 well I don't know what that was he was falling down this short back over his head here comes snow the other way snow in deep snow underneath nice pass by snow and the lakers trailer 4643 close it away my leg is turning it over faster than you can do it because I was in India and he was followed they are just taking the Lakers apart in sections well I've said it many times defensively Eric snow did it again drop to the level of the basketball and he picks up this deal Allen Iverson's will be going to the free-throw line to add to a three-point lead on the Lakers basketball Network Milwaukee with the ball now we got unis they tell me there goes Kofi he watch them here comes Iverson look out from behind Kofi put it up and score great play he had to Jackrabbits after him in the out round I honestly don't know how Allen Iverson didn't get it
