Video: 10-Year Anniversary of Allen Iverson’s ‘Practice?!’ Rant

Not a game. We’re talking about practice.

On May 7, 2002, one year removed from improbably dragging a rag-tag group to the NBA Finals, Allen Iverson erupted during a classic, hilarious press conference when the Philadelphia Sixers’ season came to an end. The Answer!

    People who say practice doesn’t matter must only play in their driveway.

    Iverson played harder than 99.9% of his contemporaries. He carried teams on his back. I would have told the reporters to kiss my @ss too. Give the man his respect! Check Kahlil the Illah video, “A.I. Resurrection 2.0″ on youtube.

    Maybe if he had practiced more he wouldn’t have shot 42.5% for his career. Nah, why bother when you can shoot at such a low clip and still be idolized because he was mentally tough, could take a pounding, and keep coming back for more. Who needs to bother getting better when the slurpers on SLAM say he can do no wrong?

    Classic! Bring this cat back to the league. So sick of seeing preppy outfits in press cons with the players saying scripted PR BS. “We hustled on D and made some shots, that’s why we got the win.” No sh*t Sherlock?
