Jason Kelce’s Super Bowl Parade Speech Compared to Allen Iverson’s Iconic Stepover by Lil Dicky

While Nick Foles may have clinched the Super Bowl LII MVP title, it was Jason Kelce who stole the show during the Eagles’ jubilant victory parade down Broad Street. Adorned in a vibrant Mummers costume, Kelce delivered a passionate oration that has since etched itself into the annals of Philadelphia sports lore.

The Eagles’ triumphant 41-33 victory against the New England Patriots on February 4, 2018, in Super Bowl LII not only secured the coveted Lombardi Trophy but also marked a historic first for the franchise. Reflecting on this momentous occasion on the New Heights podcast, Lil Dicky lavished Jason Kelce with praise for his unforgettable speech during the parade.

Lil Dicky says Jason’s speech is a historic sports moment

Lil Dicky drew a parallel between Jason Kelce’s fervent Super Bowl LII parade speech and Allen Iverson’s iconic “stepover” moment. “Your speech is also up there with Iverson’s stepover,” Lil Dicky remarked, placing Kelce’s impassioned oratory alongside one of the most celebrated moments in NBA history.

Humble in his response, Kelce was quick to deflect, “Don’t put me up there with AI,” underscoring the reverence he holds for Iverson’s legacy. Yet, Lil Dicky persisted, “Honestly, the joy that I got watching that speech. It’s up there. And it was so long. Like it was so much joy. The length of the joy,” he shared.

Kelce, reflecting on the moment, expressed amazement at his own ability to recall his speech amidst the day’s festivities. “I still don’t know how I remembered everything, to be honest with you,” he confessed, to which Lil Dicky inquired about the influence of alcohol on his memorable performance. Kelce admitted, “I feel like I was drunk that day,” a sentiment echoed by his brother Travis Kelce, who said, “You could see it in his eyes when you were around him enough… Like, yeah, that guy’s gone.”

Kelce’s speech, much like Iverson’s stepover, transcends the boundaries of the sport, capturing the heart and spirit of Philadelphia in a way that resonates with fans and legends alike.

Jason gave one of the greatest speeches in NFL history

During the Eagles’ Super Bowl LII victory parade, Jason Kelce delivered an impassioned speech that celebrated the team’s underdog status. Kelce highlighted the resilience and determination of various team members and the organization as a whole. He passionately declared, “We’re all underdogs,” encapsulating the spirit of each individual, from executives like Howie Roseman to Coach Doug Pederson, and players across the roster.

In the same vein, there’s one iconic moment that unfailingly intertwines the fates of Los Angeles Clippers’ Tyronn Lue and the legendary Allen Iverson: the infamous step over. Cast back to the 2001 NBA Finals, Game 1, where Iverson, after sinking a fadeaway jumper, nonchalantly stepped over Lue, who had tumbled in his attempt to defend the shot.

The moment, just like Kelce’s, has transcended into a cultural touchstone, immortalized through endless memes and discussions, becoming an indelible part of sports folklore.
