Recently, NBA legend Iverson talked about the 2001 Finals in A-Smith's program.

Iverson said: "If Shaq were not in the Lakers, I was already the champion. We encountered a heavy truck. The team had never lost a game in the playoffs. If we hadn't won G1, they would have been basically the best team in history."

2000-01 season, the Lakers won 15 wins and 1 loss in the playoffs (3-0, 4-0, 4-0, 4-1 in each round), and defeated the 76ers in the finals to win the championship. O'Neal averaged 33 points, 15.8 rebounds and 3.4 blocks per game.
