After being dogged by Tyronn Lue throughout Game 1 of the 2001 NBA Finals, Iverson shook Lue in the right corner and hit the jumper, and then stepped over a sprawled Lue on his way back down the floor to a Sixers victory. The Lakers eventually took the series.	RESULT 20%
1		March 12, 1997 - Crossing-over the legendary Michael Jordan The Sixers were playing host to the Bulls when Iverson came up the floor and was encountered by Jordan.
