On June 6, 2001, Philadelphia 76ers star Allen Iverson's patented, devastating crossover took arguably its most famous victim: Los Angeles Lakers guard Tyronn Lue.

Iverson's 48-point, six-assist, five-rebound, five-steal effort was punctuated by the iconic step-over move, which has now been immortalized in a T-shirt that Lue has posed next to in a photo.

Lue apparently isn't too pleased to see the move celebrated on various media outlets:
