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

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.
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

Back when NBA.com used to let fans ask players questions a lot of players said Allen Iverson was the hardest to guard. I think I remember Jason Kidd saying Iverson was the hardest to guard and part of what made him very difficult to defend was Iverson’s arm length because he was able to throw passes right around your head when you thought you had him cornered.

You really believed this shytAI had a legendary motor. nikka used to never get tired....like literally...they say he was some type of genetic freak. Heard a story of him at Georgetown where he ran full speed on a treadmill for 85 mins straight....shattered the endurance record. And the coaches literally had to go grab him off cause he kept going.
So I get where Gilbert is coming from....kinda torturous dealing with a cat running full speed at u all game long
