One would think the rising Knicks’ star would stay in a plush hotel while leading the team on a great run, however, that is not the case.

It’s been 11 years since the Philadelphia 76ers won at the current pace they’re winning right now. That year, Allen Iverson put Philly on his back to score just about every point himself while leading his team to the 2001 NBA Finals.
