Many predicted the Philadelphia 76ers to be a middle-of-the-pack sort of
team in 2000-01. Many were wrong. Behind a phenomenal season by Allen
Iverson, the Sixers steamrolled their way to a 56-26 regular season record
and the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs. Along the way, Allen
paused just long enough to return to his old stomping grounds in
Washington, DC, score 25 points and pick up the MVP trophy at the 2001
All-Star Game. After a difficult loss in the first playoff game, Allen respond-
ed with a 45-point effort in game two, and went on to rally the 76ers to a
first-round series victory over their nemesis, the Indiana Pacers. Adding to
his already filling trophy case, Allen added the 2000-01 MVP Trophy to his
collection in mid-May, then promptly proved himself worthy of the honor
by almost single-handedly leading the 76ers past Toronto and Milwaukee
and into the NBA Finals for the first time in 18 years.
- Led the NBA in Points Per Game (31.1), Steals Per Game (2.51) and Minutes
Per Game (42.0) in the 2000-2001 season.
- Scored a career-high 54 points at Cleveland on January 6, 2001, and also
poured in 54 in a playoff game at Toronto on May 9, 2001.
- Since 1998, Allen has hosted the Allen Iverson Summer Celebrity Classic, a
series of basketball games, softball games and celebrity events benefiting the
Boys & Girls Club of Greater Hampton Roads, Virginia.
- Named Rookie of the Year in 1996-97 after finishing sixth in the NBA with 23.5
points per game.
- Drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers with the #1 overall pick in the 1996 NBA Draft.
- Named First Team All-American as a sophomore at Georgetown in 1995-96
after averaging 25.0 points per game and leading the Hoyas to the Elite Eight.
