The younger crowd may know Jordan for the shoes and rings, but Allen Iverson was a freaken animal and willed his team to the finals.

du-rags, platinum chains and baggy clothes....i miss those days lol

Man went and played where most would never. Respect

1998, easily one of my favorite years ever. I was 15 playing ball as well, AI was my big inspiration to learning crossovers and playing great defense. One of my favorite players, next to Penny Hardaway.

Allen Iverson, arguably the most exciting player ever to play the game. His dribbling skills are second to none!

Pound for pound one of the greatest NBA players of all time. Allen Iverson got the 76ers into the NBA finals almost all by himself and won the first game of the NBA finals against the mighty Lakers in 2001.

I've been looking for this footage for over a decade, I'm in tears that I can finally see it again lmao

The Rucker is the street ball equivalent of Madison Square Garden

Holy shit!! I've been wanting to see this footage FOREVER!!! I finally seen it!!! This is rare footage man thanks!!!

back when nba players werent sensitive pretty boys

How is it that they have excellent clear footage of ww2 but can't clear shit up in 98?

Ps1 graphics. ..

Thanks penny Iverson was my era I thank you for uploading these videos time and time again .Makes me relive my childhood .

90s Allen Iverson...old school classic..he wasn't even going hard!

Glad someone recorded this...awesome moments!

The conditioning of the nba player is phenomenal. Even the slowest nba player can look silky smooth in the streets.

what would've happened if he was at least 4 inches taller? arguably one of the most athletically-gifted specimen the sport has ever seen

1998 I was 20 years old and it was one of the most beautiful years of the earth's history and existence The NBA, street culture, hip hop, rap city, fashion, movies and TV, literally one of my favorite years of all time. 1998 I can't even lie I get sad just thinking about it when women were more approachable and not as stank and abrasive, they loved real dudes unlike the weird feminine beta males in skinny jeans they love now (twilight zone music On Cue) In terms of albums that hard knock life jay joint along with outcast, Nore, master P ,Pun , Peter gunz Lord Tariq, Mop, and of course DMX!!! I'm telling you really had to be there to understand NYC in 1998 I'm sure the whole country was dope but NYC back then had it's own identity, everyone in my humble opinion some how in some way have followed the trends of en why now it's pretty much lost it's touch and identity becoming very corny and weird trying to be like everyone else in the south and midwest, that was unheard of in my era.

For anybody that's seen Above the Rim with Tupac and Duane Martin this looks straight outta the movie

This is fantastic. What a way to relive the days of my youth again.

thank you for uploading this

Allen's first game in Rucker park was in 96.. He had 40!!!!! Stephon Marbury had 20.. They was on the same team.. We need that footage

Where do you find this shit you're like the goat of rare footage

Just realized Hot Sauce stole his whole look

That first step was out of this world 💯💯

Wow can't believe i watched this live when i lived uptown. Great times..

Iverson hand to eye coordination, second to none.

Thanx, for uploading this ! ✌🏾️

His athleticism stands out. #aiallday

Dam I was a lil ni99a out there but I remember this day like yesterday.. AI showed up at half time and gave ni99as 30 it was lit out there!!

Thanks for posting this!

"HEADACHE" was my favorite and1 player his handles to me are the best I've ever seen

A.I. was & still is the Man.

iverson lookin' like tupac from above the rim! LOL!

Love watching these videos, brings back some great memories for me

Ai looking like Birdie from above the rim😂😂

Bro this is legitimately priceless✊🏾 raw footage AF 90s style but priceless to AI fans❣

Thanks for this footage man super rare! Crowd wasn't feeling him that much it seems. Maybe he didn't play that well that day.

wow this is amazing. i cant believe their is footage of this game! im shocked. but so happy that i get to see young iverson play in a rucker park game. this is classic.

Bro i can feel the energy based on what on the screen those were the best times no cellphone no social media to post & wait on just word of mouth like if you was there u was th8 it if you wasn't you need to be outside 2ma

He balled with Head Ache. Those were the days of true hoopn.

I remember thinking Hot Sauce was AI's alter ego smh.

Still a few months before I was born but 1998 Iverson wasn’t in his prime yet and then another 10 years later he was still one of the best in the league

This is the clearest footage of this I've seen. Other videos I've seen of this the quality was terrible. Thanks for the upload

I can’t believe this was 20 years ago

pennyccw, an internet legend. Thanks for all the vids over the years

Great Video!

These pixels are satisfying to watch.

I been waiting a long time 2 c this footage of AI at Rucker...good job

Dope.... LIVING LEGEND!

Wish this camera was at a closer angle but I can't be picky. Good shit!

Great days of basketball..the energy and the vibe!!

Do I see The Legend Master Rob. Man I miss the Rucker. Still remember my first game in the Entertainers Classic.

Jay-Z was in his absolute prime in this video....98' was a hell of a year

Man Allen Iverson was a human highlight reel!

Working in NYC in the mid-90's was insane. The building i worked out of was also the headquarters & epicentre for the Heisman Trophy. Saw lots of (now HOF) players there, but nothing compared to when star players were at Rutger Park.

The first and last man to cross up MJ. Enough said.

Iverson will always be the realest

Great footage

“We’re all fortunate that Allen Iverson isn't 6 foot 5, otherwise it would have been over for the league. Pack up and goodbye.” Kobe

A.I had the bandana on lookin like birdy from bove the rim😎

A.i forever bruhh! 🔥

I spent many hours as a spectator and also played in the junior Rucker tourneys back in the '60s. I lived right across the bridge from the Rucker in the South Bronx.

Live Cali when I was 17 years old Dodgers, Lakers, Raiders I laugh Allen Iverson has been an inspiration to me for my whole life I raised two sons, single father and I am now raising a grandson who is 20 years old works full-time and goes to college. thank you Alan, you’re the man.⚒️✔️💜🙏😎

A.I was literally just having fun and bullshitting. Still out classed everybody. He was so comfortable and easy to approach that even though he was famous you could tell he wasn't hollywood.

You have the clearest video of him in Rucker park on KZfaq! And please sell me those sneakers lol

Incredible player / athlete !

I had to hit the like and subscribe button for this classic video It was only right💯.

Zapruder wants his camera back ..

Thats Jay Z in the end with the Tim Brown Oakland Raider Jersey

there should be a tv channel for street basketball games, be so into it

Iverson was gifted

He was dunking mad easy 😭

@ 2:27 was that thee "HEADACHE" from And1? the way he did that ball trick haha..

I remember This summer, soo many nba players were at the Rucker. Every time had at least one almost.

Man I miss these times.

Daaaamn. After that 1st behind the back pass it looked like he influenced Skip To My Lou. When did the first And 1 Mix Tape come out?

You can tell he wasn't playing hard, 2 dunks in the game

Used to love watching that EBC DVD from back in the day! Lord of the Rings RIP Bean!

we need more....

i want those shoes

we talking about practice man. serious practice lol

Arguably the best defense I’ve seen from both teams at Rucker

bill bellamy stated that back in the day if you wanted to prove yourself as a great player you needed to play at rucker park.

AI my favorite all time player in any sport!

Back when we filmed on Motorola flip phones

A.I. Out there with all his bling on💯

Go Allen Iverson!!!!

Always cool to see Iverson play street ball especially at the Rucker but i think KD shut it down real talk

There go my son Triple Seis 🔥

Those Georgetown shoes were dope!

I remember that game jus like yesterday

everybody bald, it was in style back then but damn 😂

DAMMMNNN penny coming threw again with a classic Iverson video lmfaoooooo

Straight athlete.. football was his first love and see his agility from that

I HIGHLY suggest turning off the volume if you "try" to watch this. You can tell people are playing basketball.

people dont no how hard it is to come back to the hood and play great the expectation is so high i been to several pro am summer league games and only the really best athletes stand out i saw many so called stars choke

98' Biggie, Pac and Ai were King

He wasn’t even tryin you could tell 😂😂

The 90s was the best time to grow up!! I was a teenager n life just seemed more meaningful...then I had kids n the fun stopped haha
