Readers had already been able to immerse themselves in this fantastic 2000/01 season of the Sixers thanks to the book by Yann Casseville, entitled 2001, the odyssey of Allen Iversonpublished in 2021.
For those who prefer images, for fans of Allen Iverson or for simple nostalgia, NBA TV will make people happy by broadcasting a documentary on this subject on May 31.
“Everything But the Chip: the 2001 76ers” will therefore look back on the season of Allen Iverson, Larry Brown, Dikembe Mutombo and company, which ended with 56 victories, first place in the Eastern Conference, individual trophies in shambles and qualification in Finals against the Lakers.
Quite simply, one of the most beautiful seasons in the history of the club, and still unmatched more than two decades later, despite the presence of Joel Embiid, MVP in 2023, and James Harden lately in Pennsylvania.
In this film, we will find in particular interviews with the 2001 MVP, the coach of the Sixers or even Pat Croce, the whimsical president of the franchise at the time, and Shaquille O’Neal, the executioner of Philadelphia in the Finals.
