Happy anniversary to Allen Iverson's famed step over Tyronn Lue

It hasn't been a good last few days for Tyronn Lue. This makes things even worse.

In Game 1 of the 2001 NBA Finals at the Staples Center, the Philadelphia 76ers’ Allen Iverson dramatically stepped over Tyronn Lue after hitting a big three-pointer late in the Sixers’ upset win.

It hasn't been a good last few days for Tyronn Lue, as he has had to watch his Cleveland Cavaliers get smoked by the Golden State Warriors in the first two games of the NBA Finals.

Alas, matters are now getting even worse, as today is the 16th anniversary of when Allen Iverson stepped over Lue in Game 1 of the 2001 NBA Finals.

The Sixers made a point of reminding everyone on Twitter of the historical significance of the day:

Happy anniversary to the two sparring partners.
