   Damn…he does what he can though. I know that, atheletes are a reflection of society, we all do positive and negative things they just do theirs in a spotlight. Good post.

   I don’t post much but read the site and the comments daily. I was moved to post after seeing this though.

   Touching Comments, very moving. Best of luck to A.I. in life and basketball.

   Maybe I’m just a heartless prick, but I’m not buying it. Can you say “diva”?

   It was a nice PR move though.

   @ Big Freeze well it’s obvious that AI is a sensitive guy and has a victimization complex. But at the same time. you can’t deny that a lot of unfair things have been said about AI as well.

   @big freeze
   what’s there not to “buy”? i mean, is cryin’ really going to get him a contract? a lot of the guys who put on the toughest fronts that i know are also the most sensitive.

   Big Freeze,

   Honestly, I couldn’t disagree more. I’ve interacted with Iverson twice, and the dude is a class act. No matter what type of d-bag questions are thrown at him, he handles them professionally and goes about his business.

   Wasn’t there something a while back where a young man was killed for a pair of Iverson shoes and Iverson paid for the kids funeral. He’s all heart. I still got respect for him and I’m from Detroit. It would have turned out better if he had a better coach…..

    Not that he would want to, but AI can play on my team anytime.

    Like he said, he’s never gonna be perfect. And maybe he won’t fit in, but I’ll win and lose with him just because he tries so hard.

    Hey Iverson, you aren’t 25 anymore and you are no longer one of the best in the game. Get over it.

    I really got on his case in my posts yesterday…but I feel dude after seeing this clip. That was some real ish right there.

    I hate to say something foul, but Kobeef, fall back. Get your mind right, and stop hating on AI.

    I think the reason he got so emotional was he felt connected to Mike Jackson and probably could relate to some of the things he went through throughout his life. “Real Recognize Real”

    If AI gave even 1/100th of a fuck about his teammates and passing as he does about his charity work…he’d go down as the greatest point guard who ever lived.

    I guess it’s a balancing act…he gives so much off the court that on it he turns into the most selfish motherfucker who ever played the game.

    SWAT says:

    “Practice? We talkin bout practice?!?” lol. classic. but yea i respect AI alot more…i knew dude was all heart on the court but damn he really is a class act. all the sideline hate is a shame. heres to hoping AI goes to the heat

    WE HEAR IN THE MEDIA ALL OF THE DOWN FALLS OF THESE CELEBRITIES, BUT WE NEVER HEAR ABOUT WHAT THEY DO FOR OTHERS. THIS WAS A GREAT POST, I HAVE LEARNED AND REPECT AI MORE NOW. BEST OF LUCK TO ALLEN, GO TO CHARLOTTE!!

    Kudabeen says:

    well said benji…

    We can go through his history of interviews. He is always honest about whatever. To his detriment, because once people saw that he was honest and that stuff effected him like it does as he said they got even more joy out of throwing shots. Bill O’Riely types love dealing in controversy and hate, because it is more entertaining and it is easier to hide that which you are lacking in the humanity department. On or off the court this man gives what he has and that is more than many can say.

    Interview with Steven A was one of the best ever:

    rare interview with young Iverson:

    Clifford Jordan says:

    I have been following A.I. all his life and for some of the press to act like he is the devil is just wrong. you people who say that he is suppose to do this are wrong, and that shows just how much sense you got.There are plenty of asses out here who want to hang him but you need to look at yourself in the mirror
