Allen Iverson 53pts Highlights vs the Atlanta Hawks 05/06 NBA
Allen Iverson 53pts Highlights vs the Atlanta Hawks 05/06 NBA

No matter how many shots he took, Allen Iverson couldn't beat the Atlanta Hawks by himself. Iverson scored 53 points, the fifth-highest total of his career, but Joe Johnson had 24 to lead the Hawks over the Philadelphia 76ers 111-108 on Friday night. "I'm as disappointed as everybody else on my team," Iverson said. "We wanted to go into the holidays with a win. We'll have to get this one out of our system and come back to work." Zaza Pachulia added a career-high 23 points, including the go-ahead free throws, and Al Harrington scored 22 for Atlanta, which won its fourth straight at home and its fifth in the last seven games overall. "We shared the ball," Pachulia said. "We had 29 assists, and that's great. We shot pretty good also, 54 percent. It's tough to beat a team like that." Iverson, who entered with a league-best 33.5 scoring average, had 21 points and six rebounds in the first half. He shot 17-of-31 and hit 19 of 21 free throws, the last coming on a three-point play that cut the Atlanta lead to 101-100 with 5:20 remaining. He broke the record that Shareef Abdur-Rahim set at 7-year-old Philips Arena with a 50-point performance against Detroit on Nov. 23, 2001. Iverson has scored 50 in nine games, including a career-best 60-point effort in a 112-99 win over Orlando last Feb. 12. Iverson gave the Sixers their last lead when his runner over Johnson and Pachulia made it 105-104 with just under 3 minutes remaining. Pachulia then made two free throws, then added a jumper for a three-point lead. On Philadelphia's last five possessions, John Salmons missed two straightaway 3-point attempts and had a fast-break layup blocked by Atlanta's Josh Smith. "When someone is scoring like that, everybody else isn't involved," Harrington said. "When they do shoot, they're ice cold, so that worked in our favor." Iverson drove past Salim Stoudamire and Harrington after a steal for the Sixers' last basket, a layup that cut Atlanta's lead to 110-108 with 36 seconds remaining. Philadelphia had the ball with 2.4 seconds left when Iverson made an inbounds pass in front of the Atlanta bench to Chris Webber, who missed an 8-foot turnaround jumper. "I told him before the play that if both men went to me, to go to the basket and get a good shot," Iverson said. "Things didn't go the way we wanted tonight." Johnson made one free throw, then jumped to intercept Andre Iguodala's long pass from the Hawks' baseline. Two free throws by Iverson gave the Sixers their biggest lead at 82-70 in the third quarter, but the Hawks went on a 26-9 run to go up 96-91 on Stoudamire's fast-break layup. "We showed a lot of character coming back from 12 down," Atlanta coach Mike Woodson said. "I thought Iverson was tremendous tonight. He created so many problems for us, but I like that we found a way to overcome that and get the win. We had a number of guys step up in the fourth quarter." Sixers coach Maurice Cheeks could tell a big difference when center Samuel Dalembert picked up his fifth foul with 9:02 remaining. "Our defense is a lot better with Sam in the game, because he can block shots and rebound the ball," Cheeks said. "They're a jump-shooting team, with the exception of Harrington. We just have to get better in all areas defensively." Game notes Iverson stayed home Thursday night to take care of an undisclosed personal matter before joining the Sixers for the morning shootaround Friday. ... Philadelphia F Michael Bradley did not make the trip because his wife was expecting to give birth. ... Johnson had eight assists. ... Webber added 16 points and 11 rebounds for the Sixers. ... Iverson, who leads the NBA in minutes, played the entire second half

Shaq’s son Shareef O’Neal further boosts loaded UCLA freshman class
Shaq’s son Shareef O’Neal further boosts loaded UCLA freshman class

UCLA has landed forward Shareef O’Neal. The son of retired NBA great Shaquille O’Neal signed a grant-in-aid to attend UCLA this fall. He will enroll in summer school this month. The 6-foot-10, 220-pounder from Los Angeles played the last two seasons at Crossroads High in nearby Santa Monica. As a senior last season, O’Neal helped the school win the CIF Division II state title for the first time since 1997. He had 29 points, 17 rebounds and five blocks in the title game. O’Neal averaged 27 points as a senior while Crossroads finished with a 25-9 record. UCLA coach Steve Alford says O’Neal brings a “terrific combination of size, skill and athleticism.” O’Neal joins fellow freshmen Jules Bernard, Moses Brown, Tyger Campbell, Kenneth Nwuba and David Singleton in UCLA’s incoming class. Shaquille O’Neal starred at LSU before going on to the NBA, where he won four championships including three with the Los Angeles Lakers.

How The Lakers Got 12 Teams to NOT DRAFT Kobe Bryant in 1996
How The Lakers Got 12 Teams to NOT DRAFT Kobe Bryant in 1996

Every team wants to get the best player in each draft, but sometimes you just don't have a realistic chance at the higher picks. The loaded 1996 NBA Draft was an unforgettable one, not just because of the talent in it, but because of where one of the greatest of all time got picked. This is the story of how Kobe Bryant managed to fall all the way to #13, and not even remain on the team that picked him. Some greats were picked before him, and some greats were picked after, but Kobe ultimately wound up as the best of his draft once we saw what he was capable of in his prime. Ultimately, it paved the way for high school guards and perimeter players to make the jump and not be perceived as a terrible gamble anymore. 1 PHI Allen Iverson 2 TOR Marcus Camby 3 VAN Shareef Abdur-Rahim 4 MIL Stephon Marbury (Traded to acquire Ray Allen) 5 MIN Ray Allen 6 BOS Antoine Walker 7 LAC Lorenzen Wright 8 NJN Kerry Kittles 9 DAL Samaki Walker 10 IND Erick Dampier 11 GSW Todd Fuller (played 225 games total) 12 CLE Vitaly Potapenko ---------------------------------------------------- Some books I read to learn more and get some content or quotes for my videos: Showboat: The Life of Kobe Bryant https://amzn.to/38CRZdR The Mamba Mentality: How I Play https://amzn.to/3rwCmNx ---------------------------------------------------- Subscribe and share and I'll keep bringing more great NBA content.
