Allen Iverson sets a record with 10 steals in a playoff win over the Orlando Magic on May 13, 1999

Diger goes out and I with another steel. He’s got eight steels in this game. Iverson going around hard away and Larry Hughes cleans up for Philly. What a spectacular show by the 76ers who again raise their lead to 14. Time that the point guard gets the ball handler to stop. You stop this. Nick Anderson is wondering what he has to do to get the ball in, knowing that Iverson is working. And Ann Iverson, Allen’s mother, is wiggling and waggling and having a great time in the first row. Nine steals, an NBA record in a playoff game for Allen Iverson. He wanted to hear it from the crowd. He’s been hearing it from his mom for a long time. And a timeout. What a show put on by Allan Iverson tonight. The Sixers lead 56-39. We’ll be right back. Iverson over here. Watch him come and get a piece of this. It’s just great anticipation. You see he’s sizing it up. And there he makes his move. Now sure he misses the layup at the other end. But Larry Hughes once again coming right down the middle of the floor. There it is right there. Hardway. They double team. Dan Chase finds Outlaw. Double team. Stripped away by Iverson. Alan with another steel for the 76ers.

Allen Iverson is one of the most polarizing players in NBA history. He is remembered for carrying the Philadelphia 76ers to the NBA finals against the Lakers.
