He was light as a featherweight but fought like a heavyweight boxer.
Steve Jones couldn't help but remark after AI scored 7 points in a row, "There have been many slender scoring legends in NBA history, like George Gervin. But the difference with AI is that George Gervin never gave you that 'I would die for this win' vibe. That kind of temperament has captured the whole of Philadelphia's heart."
Steve Jones rarely praises anyone other than Roger in a game, but AI earned his respect.
7-0, Allen Iverson looked at Roger and gestured a "0" with his hand.
This fighter wasn't here to talk today; he was eager to battle.
Will Smith continued to escalate, "Hahaha, finish him AI, knock that bastard down!"
The Hawks' fans realized that Allen Iverson was no comic figure like Jerry Stackhouse or Penny Hardaway.
He truly had the ability to snatch victory from Roger's hands!
