Facx!!!! They made a rule just for him 2 try and keep him from embarrassing every other superstar in the league. In case ur not familiar I'm talking bout the palming rule. Which he was like the only person who got called for it the first year maybe year and a half they made it.
yea despite what you hear on TV AI's a real down to earth nice guy. Like they were saying in the interview a lot of the reason he got a bad rep was the way he dressed. with the cornrows the baggy pants the big jewlery. This image resembled ghetto america and the NBA didn't want to assosiate itself with this group of people. The African American NBA stars who were well loved before A.I. were guys like Magic and MJ who were big smiles and always dressed nice. Sadly. to be continued out of spaces.
wtf! this dude (AI) is maaad cool.shit,I've lived in alot of places:Atlanta,DC,Houston,New York(currently) and I aint never seen a dude that was as cool as AI .this dude is cooler than 90% of these rappers out there.
you know i get the distinct feeling that allen wasn't really as amused as the audience/chris rock. he strikes me as incredibly serious and reflective. i just don't get why he gets a bad rap... very few people are this honest and candid.
Kids have more purity in them, closer to the Most High. There's a true story where a famous violinist, who sold out all his shows, dressed up as a homeless person and played his violin in a train station for a study. The study was they wanted to see how many people would stop and listen. Results found that it was like 90% children who were the ones that stopped, before being dragged away by their parents. They appreciated the music for what it was, whereas the adults judged the violinist by his appearance, not knowing people paid a lot to see that same man live
say what you want about Al, but I have huge respect for him. He took his talent and made something of himself from nothing, and he hasn't done anything horrible, so you have to have a better reason to dislike him than who he hangs out with. Chris Rock is a great guy too.
Allen looks bigger here. I think these are the years where he walks around 180..now hes down to 160. fortunately he's a genetic freak and he's been able to withstood the physical deteriotation with age..he handled it pretty well
Coach T at G-town never wants his kids to leave early. He gave the ok to AI because he coached him and knew at the time his greatness. Remember he coached Ewing,Alonzo, and DM and didn;t give his blessing. THink about that AI is the truth.
A.I. Should be in the top 50 Greatest players of all time if he isn't. For his size he is the best 2 guard ever. people don't know how hard it is for him and the abuse his body takes every time he drives to the rim. He isn't like M.J or Kobe he can't just shoot over people, A.I. has to work hard for every single point. Oh yea he broke Michael Jordan's ankle.
sadly there are still a lot of Americans who see a guy like A.I. and assume he's a thug because of the way he dresses. and sadly it's a race issue. So the NBA tried to distance itself from players with A.I.'s image. like people call A.I. a bad guy when he gets a D.U.I. but nobody cared at all when Charles Barkley got a D.U.I. and so you know i hate to say it but deep down some people in America still have their prejudices and A.I. is proof of that.
Magic had a bad Tv show, Shaq did a genie movie, how are you gonna embarrass yourself? Hmmm.....by saying PRACTICE 23 times at a press conference lol! Gotta luv A.I.!
iverson always speak from his heart, chris is comedic but A.I. tries to answer his questions as real as possible..
favorite player all time
16 years later, AI still dresses exactly like that.
+mrtony80 True. Iverson always wearing dope ass clothes.
Maybe a lil short tshirts but the swagg is the same. Straight hood
😂😂😂🤞🏾
Yes sir the good ol days baggy jeans & long tee shirts lol
Allen always kept it real. And that is why either you loved him or hated him with a passion.
When du rags was official & baggy street clothes was legendary ❤
"i got white friends, my lawyers...." LOL
I love this style Allen Iverson in 1999 :D coll and Gangsta :D
The ANSWER answered from the HEART as what he always did: “PLAY 🏀 WITH HIS HEART ❤️ “
Allen is the type guy that's funny without even trying to be funny.
I was waiting on the part where he told him to give puffy his chains back 😂😂😂 here after the cold as balls interview w/ Kevin hart
The GOAT for real!!!!
2 Legends right there lol
He's come a long way! AI
First reply.... 13 years later!
It's so cute to see him so humble
I LOVE THIS INTERVIEW WITH AI 💝💝💝!!! I watch it all the time 🥰 !!! Chris Rock ROCKS 🪨🤣💖!!!
Iverson imprint is still on the NBA. A true generational player
Facx!!!! They made a rule just for him 2 try and keep him from embarrassing every other superstar in the league. In case ur not familiar I'm talking bout the palming rule. Which he was like the only person who got called for it the first year maybe year and a half they made it.
They really need to bring this show back! It has a realness to it that other talk shows don't have anymore!
Cherokee Moore its a comedy show like David letterman

Allen Iverson : The reason I watch basketball
I just fold in tears 😭 every time I watch this interview. 2 real ass niggas just talkin real life shit words just came out naturally 💯🗣
wtf! this dude (AI) is maaad cool.shit,I've lived in alot of places:Atlanta,DC,Houston,New York(currently) and I aint never seen a dude that was as cool as AI .this dude is cooler than 90% of these rappers out there.
😂😂😂

Almost teaches you a lesson just hearing him answer....and thats why he is The Answer
"yeah I have white friends..MY LAWYERS" lmao xD
*LMBBO!* 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

YO ive been lookin for dis episode for da longest. I remember when it wuz on back then but I had missed.
loool "can i curse?" so polite
"I got a white friend, i mean, my lawyer..." I SWEAR I NEARLY DIED!! Too funny :)
HE IS STILL FINE AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.
you know i get the distinct feeling that allen wasn't really as amused as the audience/chris rock. he strikes me as incredibly serious and reflective. i just don't get why he gets a bad rap... very few people are this honest and candid.
Allen has too much swag
So true about kids. They care about the heart and the realness of the person. With the sneakers, they saw themselves in AI to a certain extent.
Kids have more purity in them, closer to the Most High. There's a true story where a famous violinist, who sold out all his shows, dressed up as a homeless person and played his violin in a train station for a study. The study was they wanted to see how many people would stop and listen. Results found that it was like 90% children who were the ones that stopped, before being dragged away by their parents. They appreciated the music for what it was, whereas the adults judged the violinist by his appearance, not knowing people paid a lot to see that same man live
I think that also AI may appear to kids as less intimidating than the typical very tall players.
We're talking about pratice men. haha
say what you want about Al, but I have huge respect for him. He took his talent and made something of himself from nothing, and he hasn't done anything horrible, so you have to have a better reason to dislike him than who he hangs out with. Chris Rock is a great guy too.
i added this to my favourites before even watching it
Omg he is soooooo fine.
he's a good person, very good person, for real.
Dunk Daddy Records lmao
The way he talks about his dawgs is 100.
I love you Allen Iverson 💗💗😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 you are my favorite basketball 🏀 player on the plane
Damn so mad I can’t find this dvd..had took it from my older cousin and once I seen this interview i said hell hi she don’t need this 😎💪🏾
Favorite Player All Time. 💯🐐
Little did A.Iverson know what the future unfold 4 him.Good things regardless,good looking back n the past.🐺🐦🔮🎥😀
ai defintyly tha realest player in the nba and best poin guard of the decade shit even my pops like him and he dnt even watch ball
Allen looks bigger here. I think these are the years where he walks around 180..now hes down to 160. fortunately he's a genetic freak and he's been able to withstood the physical deteriotation with age..he handled it pretty well
iverson is quite adept at creating shots.. n he probably will be in the top 50 players of all time
They both sound exactly the same 23 years later
@6:24 ain't no way Allen Iverson is 6 feet. We all know Chris Rock is around 5'10" max.
when allen says 'they fucc'd up just like everybody else'' is fkin brilliant
A.I STILL FINE LIKE ALWAYS!!!!
haha, Chris Rock is awesome
Before everything was all about practice (1999)
"They Fucked up just like everybody else!!"...hahaha

what a fire interview
sadly there are still a lot of Americans who see a guy like A.I. and assume he's a thug because of the way he dresses. and sadly it's a race issue.
