For all his individual achievements, with the exception of the NBA Finals run in 2001, Iverson has had limited playoff success. Many attribute this to the minimal talent on the teams he had played on, while some critics contend his style of play is detrimental to team success.  The 2001 trip to the Finals was considered one of the most improbable runs in NBA playoff history, but eventually ended when they fell to the [[Los Angeles Lakers]] in five games.<ref>http://www.nba.com/playerfile/allen_iverson/bio.html</ref>
