Allen Iverson Dropped 41 On Kobe But Never Happened Again

Bryant admitted after Iverson dominated him for 41 points on March 19, 1999, he became obsessed with never allowing that to happen again.

Every matchup became a “matter of life and death” according to the five-time NBA champion. Bryant recently joined Jim Rome on his podcast, and explained what Iverson taught him. Read below.

“That put him on my permanent radar. Now he’s my obsession. I’m going to figure him out. This is never happening again. I kept the stat sheet.

It just sat with me. From that point forward I read everything about him. I watched every game he played…Sometimes you have those moments where great players bring the best out of you. And he certainly did that for me because he helped me find another gear of preparation.”
