Allen Iverson 2001 Allstar Game MVP 25pts 5 assists 5 steals
This may be the moment we look back on as the exact time and place where Allen Iverson finally got it. The mercurial superstar of the Philadelphia 76ers had just been named Most Valuable Player of the 50th NBA All-Star Game. He had just led the Eastern Conference to the greatest comeback in All-Star annals and was physically spent. Iverson was just miles from his hometown, minutes from his alma mater and in front of dozens of friends and family. There were a million emotions tugging at a very emotional man. Oh, yeah, did we mention that Iverson was standing right next to NBA commissioner David Stern? Iverson has been called on to Stern’s carpet several times, including twice this season. David’s not exactly one of Allen’s homeboys. And when Stern offered a nice little pun about Iverson’s rap music, it was as if Iverson didn’t even hear him. As Stern handed him the MVP trophy, all Iverson could think of was one thing when he was asked to speak. “Where’s my coach at?” he asked. “Where’s Coach Brown?” It was a nice touch by Iverson to seek out Larry Brown, his coach for the past 3 1/2 seasons. For a player often described as selfish and immature, it was a giant step toward superstardom. “It’s special, and it’s a tribute to my coach and my teammates,” said Iverson. “I’ve always felt that whether these guys know it or not, kids watch them and want to be like them and today was the greatest thing for basketball,” Brown said. “There were so many lessons to be learned, from him …

is it just me or was the NBA straight up more exciting and intense back then? I watched the entire all-star game this year as a basketball newbie and that game didn’t hold a candle up to the kind of emotion I felt watch these highlights. Now the NBA is all about hyping up dunks. I wish I watched basketball when it was a real sport.
