The Allen Iverson Show was on full display against the Orlando Magic on February 12, 2005.
A.I. was unstoppable at home in a 112-99 win, pouring in a career-high 60 points, on 17-of-36 shooting and 24-of-27 from the free-throw line. He added a team-high six assists, five steals, and a block, while only committing three turnovers.
His previous career-high was 58 points against Houston on Jan. 15, 2002.
At the start of the season, Iverson moved from the two-guard to the point and with the ball in his hands, he turned in a monstrous offensive season, leading the league in scoring with 30.7 points per game, one of four scoring titles over his career.
His season included 35 games scoring 30+, nine games scoring 40+ and back-to-back 50-point games a couple months prior to his career-night.
Watch the game below:
Following his career-night, Iverson joined Wilt Chamberlain as the only 76ers players to score 60 points in a game.
“When you’re talking to me, and you’re mentioning Wilt Chamberlain in the same sentence with me, I don’t have [any] words after that,” Iverson said post-game.
“I mean, what can I say? You mention somebody that’s 6-feet, 165 [pounds] soaking wet, and somebody seven some feet.”
