Iverson on Kobe, “He’s even better now.”

Published by Chris Manning on April 24, 2008 in 2008 Playoffs.

Unlike other of the Nugget players, Allen Iverson actually has breathed near the championship trophy. In 2001, Iverson, the league’s MVP that year, matched up against Kobe and the Lakers. Recently, Iverson commented on playing Kobe now, and playing Kobe then…

HoopsWorld: I asked him the difference between Kobe’s game back when he faced him in the NBA Finals in 2001 compared to now. He talked about the great team that Bryant has around him now but back then he said Kobe didn’t have to do as much with Shaquille O’Neal.

“He’s better than he was back then. He was great back then,” said Iverson. “He’s even better now.”

Thanks AI… imagine how upset Iverson must be that Philly didn’t trade him to LA and paired him up with Carmelo instead, what a waste of retirement years!
