In tribute to Larry Brown, here is the end of overtime in game 1 of the 2001 NBA Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Brown's Philadelphia 76ers. The Lakers entered this game undefeated (11-0) in the playoffs, and many people predicted a sweep. But Allen Iverson went off, scoring 48 points (check out the now-famous jumper and step-over of Tyronn Lue!) and leading Philadelphia to a stunning 107-101 OT win. The Lakers soon regrouped, however, and won the next four games and their second straight NBA title. But this was Brown's zenith in Philly, and he got his revenge three seasons later, when his Detroit Pistons beat the Lakers for the NBA title. Please note that the picture and sound aren't the greatest, but this was the best clip I could find of that OT. |
