Ray Allen vs. Allen Iverson in the closing seconds of the 1996 Big East Final needs a deep rewind

Ray Allen's collegiate battle with Allen Iverson is best remembered for the ending, but before we get there, we've got to remember the trajectory of the UConn-Georgetown rivalry up to that point, the different careers of those two stars, and the way their teammates covered their bad performances in this famous match-up. To really appreciate the big final moments, you've gotta rewind!

Dude ain’t wrong... My pops was an avid fan of Larry Legend, I loved MJ. Feel like that says something about how intriguing a player/personality Reggie has always been, that this is the one I wanna see. Also, if you’ve already done anything on Bird, I need to find it...I don’t know if it’s possible to properly convey his talent level?
