Immediately when someone thinks of Allen Iverson, one of the first thoughts should be Iverson stepping over Tyronn Lue after nailing the dagger in overtime of Game 1 of the 2001 NBA Finals. The iconic step-over has been plastered on t-shirts for years and was one of the biggest statements A.I. made in Philadelphia.
