  Oh man. First Melo, now AI, who’s next? Me? I ain’t ready to cut mine yet.

• Hursty Posted: Feb.14 at 4:53 pm
  Wow…

• Levon Jones Posted: Feb.14 at 4:58 pm
  Man, now if we can only get AI on a contender we’ll be aight

• Levon Jones Posted: Feb.14 at 4:59 pm
  And I assume David Stern should be proud.

• Russ Bengtson Posted: Feb.14 at 5:14 pm
  AI shoulda cut ‘em off years ago, so I ain’t mad. Time to re-create the “Who’s Afraid of Allen Iverson?” cover…

• Ulee Posted: Feb.14 at 5:16 pm
  Love the videos. Keep them coming.

• Hursty Posted: Feb.14 at 5:19 pm
  I’m still laughing at Joe Johnson. And yes, Mariah Carey did look pretty good in that Wizards jersey in 03.

• Anton Posted: Feb.14 at 5:25 pm
  NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

• OdotJdot Posted: Feb.14 at 5:47 pm
  umm… re: dwight howard never being dunked on… they left out Lamar Odom…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NckvyZUFA9Q I watched this happen live. I was going NUTS! and to make the murder complete… it was brian cook that got his now team mate, dwight howard posterized like this lol. cold business.

• Double R Posted: Feb.14 at 6:00 pm
  The lady next to LeBron seemed surprised by his answer for most memorable AllStar moment

• Hursty Posted: Feb.14 at 6:36 pm
  Surprisingly, it doesn’t look at hectic as I’d imagined. How long does media ‘day’ go for? I saw one of the clocks behind JJ down to 7:30 seconds, but it has to be closer to a few hours?
  Oh, and well done to Anton, stretching the screen parameters.

• Sesa Posted: Feb.14 at 6:51 pm
  That asian girl behind LeBron is pretty fine

• Boing Dynasty Posted: Feb.14 at 7:06 pm
  It is weird Lebron’s favorite ASG moment is Mariah Carrey in the jersey dress, and kobes was “getting to share that moment” with Mike? Seriously that was his answer…

• Boing Dynasty Posted: Feb.14 at 7:06 pm
  Also, NBA tv cares waaaay to much about AI’s hair.

• Prison Mike Posted: Feb.14 at 7:10 pm
  I never thought anyone over the age of 25 looked good in braids.

• Anton Posted: Feb.14 at 7:11 pm
  It’s more than just hair, man. This is the guy that brought cornrows, baggy pants, and street cred to the NBA and all of it is gone now.
  And we sittin here talking about the all star game? Not the hair, not the hair. But the all star game?

• James the balla Posted: Feb.14 at 7:28 pm
  Bill Russell… wow!! Almost had me in tears at the start!!

• Tzvi Twersky Posted: Feb.14 at 7:31 pm
  We found out after Issue 125 that AI couldn’t blow his hair out like he used to. That may have factored into this. That, or the fact that he is in his 30s.

• Darksaber Posted: Feb.14 at 7:48 pm
  AI maturing inside & out. Interesting

• Darksaber Posted: Feb.14 at 7:53 pm
  reg. The players remembering Mariah fondly, look at the answers on slams allstar warmup competition. Like every 2nd person mentions the dress, and we all drooled while watching on tv. Imagine what it felt like for the players in the arena. MJ couldnt stop licking his lips like LL. Mariah looked hawt then (and lately too)

• Ben Osborne Posted: Feb.14 at 8:40 pm
  I was in the arena for Mariah’s dress, and it’s one of my favorite memories too. Hursty, media availability is about 45 minutes long and held before the teams “practice.” I think it’s cool Allen cut his hair (especially now that our cover is off sale).

• Hursty Posted: Feb.14 at 8:50 pm
  Thanks Ben.
  Always nice to get feedback in the comments section.
  Also, going back through a bunch of old Slam Ups posters, theres some weird connections going on.
  KG dunking on Al Jefferson before the trade, Nash going up n under over Dirk in 2005 before the MVP’s, KG (Wolves) open court on on the Pistons, some others too, just can’t remember them off the top of my head.
  Just thought it was interesting.

• kat Posted: Feb.14 at 11:30 pm
  no AI! Where is his mother??

• Joey E. Posted: Feb.15 at 1:40 am
  oh boy, i smell another AI cover…

• Kevin Posted: Feb.15 at 1:44 am
  Bout damn time, it’s the 09 braids are played out, dudes is rocking clean fades with a sharp edge up now

• Tzvi T Posted: Feb.15 at 1:50 am
  Joey E: I think this calls for another AI cover as well. You know you want to see it.

• rob stewart Posted: Feb.15 at 2:06 am
  AI with no braids is like catfish with no hot sauce, peanut butter with no jelly, jordan without pippen, puff with no Mase, cake with no ice cream, etc….

• Hursty Posted: Feb.15 at 3:11 am
  Nah, its like, cat with no dog. Or Chocolate without soy, a dropkick without a ball, actually scratch the last one.

• Zee! Posted: Feb.15 at 3:22 am
  Lmao @ LeBron, Lang: How old were you? Bron: “Old Enough!” Nuff said. Nick Cannon I envy you.

• simoun Posted: Feb.15 at 7:12 am
  AI said that he wont ever cut his hair off!!! Let alone his cornrows!!!!!

• starbury&stevey Posted: Feb.15 at 8:08 am
  is like a ballhog without a ball…

• big marv Posted: Feb.15 at 11:31 am
  we need a new cover now, yall gotta give respect cause he stayed true to himself.

• Ben Osborne Posted: Feb.15 at 1:48 pm
  You guys would KILL us if we did another AI cover. I’ve got no complaints about the current Kobe cover, which has been getting crazy props out here, and our next few covers are absolute fire as well.

• SPANOULIS Posted: Feb.15 at 2:47 pm
  i can see many people(kids) here really disapointed on this….

• SPANOULIS Posted: Feb.15 at 2:48 pm
  by the way…:if he had done so 4 months ago he wouldn’t have been an all-star starter(!!!!!) this year….

• vmcb Posted: Feb.15 at 3:38 pm
  shut up, spanoulis.

• SPANOULIS Posted: Feb.15 at 4:45 pm
  vmcb….:come on,the hair can grow up again, you don’t have to cry my little friend…!!!(i know it is a difficult time for you now, but your love for your sweatheart should overcome this temporary tragedy…)

• SPANOULIS Posted: Feb.15 at 4:46 pm
  IVERSON!! IVERSON!! IVERSON!! IVERSON!!

• Fat Lever Posted: Feb.15 at 7:20 pm
  Damn, to put this in perspective for me, the last time he didn’t have braids I think I was a freshman in HS…

• snyper48 Posted: Feb.16 at 4:45 am
  @ Fat Lever, when AI first came in to the L he didnt rock the rows..

• BigWalt206 Posted: Feb.16 at 11:21 am
  Braids have been played for years. He may have set off a nationwide craze when he debuted them at his first all star weekend, but he held on for years too long. But I like that he chose to do it right around all star weekend again…good call

• CHE Posted: Feb.16 at 2:06 pm
  What does braids have to do with anyone maturing? Dumb comment. It is weird to see Ivo without his braids. Can we be bold to say next step is him shaving his head like Jbone? lol

• rob stewart Posted: Feb.16 at 2:22 pm
  @ CHE, I agree but I can’t see Ivo bald! And I know alot of ignorant immature guys with low cuts. Society puts false meanings on braids.

  Desperate Housewives back piece? That’s hilarious… unless you have to go to prison. Then it would just be an invitation to @n@l r@pe.

• Hold on...wait a minute! Posted: Feb.16 at 11:37 pm
  Iverson looks like he’s 12 yrs. old with that haircut. LOL!

• SLAM ONLINE | » Win AI’s signed shoe! Posted: Feb.24 at 1:07 pm
  [...] -AI was wearing a Montreal Canadiens hat, so even though a recent YouTube post indicates that he shorn the cornrows Thursday night and thereby had short hair while he was at the event I attended, he didn’t show it at all (if he had, I wouldn’t have gone so crazy looking for Lang Saturday at practice media availability so he could Twitter/film AI with his new cut.)
