NBA Greatest Duels: Allen Iverson vs. Ray Allen (2001)

Derrick Rose Dunks

This time, Ray Allen went for 40-plus in Allen Iverson’s building. The two-time All-Star guard scored 32 of his career-high 42 points in the second half, including 21 in the fourth quarter, to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 98-91 victory over the 76ers in a matchup of the top two teams in the Eastern Conference. With the league’s best record and the recent acquisition of three-time Defensive Player of the Year Dikembe Mutombo, the 76ers (42-16) are the favorite to win the Eastern Conference and reach the NBA Finals for the first time since 1983. But the Bucks, who lead the Central Division with a 35-20 mark and extended their winning streak to five games, may have something to say about that. Lit up for 49 points by Iverson in the first meeting between the teams on February 13 at the Bradley Center, Allen stole the show in Iverson’s backyard on Monday, hitting 17-of-23 shots from the field, including 6-of-8 from 3-point range, and added nine rebounds and seven assists. “It was a big step in the direction of us maturing because we knew we had them beat at our place (on February 13),” Allen said. “We came into this game knowing we could score points and intimidate teams, but could we do it against Philadelphia? Tonight we were able to.” “I don’t think 17-of-23 is something you expect. He was phenomenal,” said 76ers coach Larry Brown. “It was a great performance and even with that we had a chance to win.” A member of the gold medal-winning US Olympic Basketball Team in 2000

    iverson was a great player and would still be around if it wasnt for “ PRACTICE”

  3. MSASHLEE861

    Nooooooooooooooo!

  4. theanklebreaker2

    yeah but what made Ray Allen more efficient was because he was more of a natural pure shooter. Iverson could go inside the paint and create his own shot

  5. George steveson

    never new this man could join the heat

    @wallym12345 That’s a stupid thing to say. What kind of argument is it to tell some random dude to go match what Allen Iverson has done? There’s a reason AI got paid millions to play a game, because he’s good at it.

    I love AI, I have his rookie cards and his jersey, but he was a chucker. He had twice as many shot attempts as anyone on the team. That’s how he won the scoring title so often. That’s why Ray Allen was a more impressive scorer, because he was more efficient than anyone.

    I can’t stand how badly the NBA and David Stern hate the Milwaukee Bucks. They’d all rather just forget that Ray Allen ever played there and pretend he was drafted by the Celtics or the Sonics or something. He gets no credit for the great things he did with the Bucks. Milwaukee is like the red-headed stepchild of the NBA. The NBA would just rather not talk about them.
