Getting ready for the playoffs, veterans know what it takes. This includes the battle-tested Allen Iverson. Even though we are preparing for battle with the Nuggets, you have to respect AI’s attitude:
ESPN: “Everybody knows how big that stage is,” Iverson said. “I relish the moment. This is what I play basketball for. This is why I love it so much. The competitive part of me is going to definitely come out. It would have come out regardless who we played or who we played against, but definitely under the bright lights, those are the moments I cherish.”
Just like his matchup with Kobe Bryant.
“Let’s go. This is what it’s all about for me. You can’t draw it up any better,” Iverson said. “People say he’s the best basketball player on the planet, so I’m definitely looking forward to the challenge. Especially with me believing that about myself, so let’s go.
“This is what it’s about. If you’re scared, get a dog.”
Iverson on Kobe, “He’s even better now.”
Iverson praises Lakers fans… seriously!
Lakers blast baffled Nuggets, move one win from series win
UPDATE: Jackson led teams: 9-2 in NBA finals Game 2’s
#1 according to Hollinger








Its going to be a tough series for us. Game 1 is very important. Lakers in 6.
is he rapping?
Does he really think he’s better than Kobe??
wow he think he better than kobe..and he trying to play that card people not respecting me..well we are its just that kobe is better.. im thinking lakers in 6 but hope its 5..we’ll see GO LAKERS
Iverson is always proclaiming himself as the best player in the world. I remember the time kobe scored 56 in 3 quarters (34 min) vs memphis. The very next day, iverson (in double overtime) scored 58, and during postgame interviews, he kept saying how he was the best in the world. What a fagg. He just gets so jelous that the only way he can release his inner feelings, is by trying to proclaim himself as the best and that he gets no respect. I’ve never once seen kobe proclaim himself. Iverson, you are a freaking gerber baby.
get a dog,wat was that for,he is so stupid that midget
why all the AI hate?
Give him some respect he’s the 3rd leading scorer all time. I don’t think he’s better than kobe, he just has to tell himself that and play with confidence for them to have a chance, and he’s really not that much worse than kobe as you guys think. And i didn’t hear him say or imply that he was being disrespected. With that said kobe is the best player in the world (LeBron a close 2nd), and the Lakers win in 5, then beat Utah in 7, then the Hornets in 6, and beat the Celtics in the Finals in 6 (if Bynum returns, which i think he will.) Kobe reg season MVP, finals MVP, then wins the gold medal with team USA.
Lebron a close 2nd?? pfff. give me a damn break. once he can make a shot without going inside the paint, then we’ll talk.
Iverson thinks he’s the BEST basketball player in the WORLD … I’m sure many of his life-long supporters tell him this all of the time … Hence, He truly believes this, in his own skewed imagination … But that’s all it is … THINKS! … It’s all in his head! … He would be smarter though, to keep it there, instead of spewing it all out … Makes him sound kind of delusional, not to mention JEALOUS.
AI will always be hometown to me because of Georgetown but your a NUGGET now(CLUK-U,get it)and I don’t think your over the 2001 finals vs These Lakers(different team,same scheme).
