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.
Would you believe it if I told you that this event happened 14 years ago, today? That’s right. June 6, 2001 was the date of the infamous step-over of Lue. The Answer finished the game with a heroic 48-point effort.
