...and AI wins Finals MVP, where does it put AI on the all time list? Keep in mind that such a victory would make Dirks and Hakeem's look like a joke.

Would still be an overrated chucker, but I would place him just ahead of Kobe at #13.

He had 0 chance against Shaq's Lakers. Zero. Absolutely none. Not even hypothetically.

Pretty much, like Lebron in 2007, completely outmatched.

Lol'd at 0 chance.

They stole one game in LA, and 3 of the other 4 were decided in the final couple of minutes. A couple calls here and there and the series could've been to 6 or even 7 games.

It would probably boost Iverson to top 20-30 (cultural reasons as well) and he'd be in serious discussion for 4th best shooting guard of all time with Wade.

If the sixers had a healthy George lynch in that series, Kobe would've been shut down.

Seeing as the 76er's wouldn't make it past the 2nd round in the West that season..

The Lakers lost game one of the Finals in OT...

their only playoff loss in the entire post-season.

Went 15-1, and outscored their opponents by +12.8 ppg.

What if Kobe didn't turn the ball over with 19 seconds left in regulation?

You're right...no other team in the playoffs had the officiating with an agenda so much to screw the Bucks out of a rightful 2001 Finals appearance. Right you are! :applause: :applause: :applause:

Around Rick Barry
And Mutombo would ranked alongside guys like Nate Thurmond.

And if Horry doesn't make that three the next season, watch out. Shaq is 1/4 going into the 2003-2004 season.

-Malone-Payton probably don't join them.
-Kobe probably gets convicted of that rape charge since the Lakers are losing.

Stole one game on a historic performance by Iverson. Props to him but no one was going to stop the Lakers that year. 76ers were completely outmatched.
