We have 2 different definitions of torture chamber. Feels like you posted this because Kobe is in the thumbnail

Iverson had Kobe in the torture chamber.
Case in point, the year after his mvp season: 30ppg on 28 shots per game, a 39% field goal percentage (29% from 3), and 10 freethrow attempts a game
It's funny that someone like a Trae Young is actually as good if not better than Iverson through their first 7 seasons... AI averaged 3-4ppg more but also shot the ball 5-6 more times than a Trae who had higher shooting splits, TS% and PER... but Trae plays in a stronger era than that weak early 00s East, and is subjected to greater scrutinity for being an inefficient small guard.
And i say that as someone who doesn't even think highly of Trae like that, but Trae would bust Gil's ass too in a 1-4 flat. So would Donovan Mitchell.

Watch the video. Kobe started off well defensively but you can tell guarding Iverson wore on him as the game went on. Finished the game 7-22, 15 points with 6 turnovers.We have 2 different definitions of torture chamber. Feels like you posted this because Kobe is in the thumbnail![]()
Those first 3 games were close as hell. People forget it was 89-86 with 2 minutes left in game 2, and 84-82 in the 4th in game 3.there will never be another prime AI
too bad he wasted his career on a trash franchise like the sixers and not with the lakeshow

Oh so Iverson was cooking a dude that looked like Kobe then?I did watch. That’s why I responded to you. Our definitions of torture chamber differ. That sixers team as whole is what led to that performance![]()
if only he had a better team around himThose first 3 games were close as hell. People forget it was 89-86 with 2 minutes left in game 2, and 84-82 in the 4th in game 3.
Looking at the series statistically -
Iverson didn’t play well after game 1 but neither did Kobe and Motumbo was efficient enough to nominally offset Shaq.
The difference was the Lakers shot 36-72 from 3 with Horry, Fox and Fisher absolutely cooking. You essentially had 3 guys who were ice cold shooters. The Sixers made 17 3’s, Iverson making 11 of em
Also Aaron McKie horrible that series. .345 eFG.
A.I. has said before they were all hurt going into that series. Crazy what that team accomplished with literally 1 player that could generate offense.
