The most indelible image from the 2001 NBA Finals isn’t that of the Los Angeles Lakers hoisting up the championship trophy; no, it’s Allen Iverson triumphantly stepping over a fallen Tyronn Lue after hitting a dagger baseline jumper in Game 1.
Iverson’s 48 points won the series opener, but that’s as far as The Answer could carry the Philadelphia Sixers.
Lue, now the highest-paid assistant coach in the L, graciously took a photo with a Sixers fan Monday night who was rocking a t-shirt of the iconic moment.
He then watched his Cleveland Cavaliers lose a thriller to the Sixers.
