not knocking on Iverson. he's one of the most prolific scorers of all time puts his body on the line night in and night out and get things done.



but this interview is just very funny. I thought I would bring it up for old time's sake, and for the newer, younger posters to check this out.

LMAO. How many x s did he say it

[L.Kizzle]

This happened on 04, I thought it was in 2002.


Is the classic Rasheed Wallace "Both teams played hard" speech on youtube.

[DeuceWallaces]

For the most part I kinda agree with him. They're at a press conference and talkin about practice.

[StroShow4]

LMAO. How many x s did he say it

27 and a half

[GOBB]

Funniest post game press conference in a while. Watch him and Phil Jasner go at it.

For the most part I kinda agree with him. They're at a press conference and talkin about practice.

Huh? What were they talkin bout? Practice? Not the game but practice? Wow

[L.Kizzle]

"How the hell can I make my teammates better by practicing"

greatest quote ever

[AI Nuggets3]

thats 2002. the funniest thing was that ESPN and ESPN2 picked it up (so did all the local channels now that i think about it) but almost all of them stopped covering it when he started using profanity.

he said something like "I got a bunch of scoring titles that dont mean $*#% and zero rings."

not the greatest PR move by AI but that was a bad period for him. wasnt his best friend murdered a few days before?

[GOBB]

Anyone have the full version? That is short. Because i want to se when AI and Sixers beat writer Phil Jasner get into it. Phil plays AI and AI gets mad.


Reporter: "May I respond to that?"

Iverson: "Yeah"

Reporter: "There are people that have suggested, myself included, that instead of shooting 40 percent, you...

Iverson: "What do you know about basketball? Have you ever played?"

Reporter: "Yes"

Iverson: "I don't know Phil, I don't know you as a basketball player. I know you as a columnist but I have never heard of you as a player though.

Reporter: "Why is that an issue?"

Iverson: "Why is that an issue? Because we're talking about basketball."

Reporter: "Let me ask my question."

Iverson: "Go ahead, Phillip."

Reporter: "Supposed you shot 44 percent..."

Iverson: "I don't know about that. That is in God's hands. I do not know if that will help me or not. That's God. God does that, It ain't up to you to say if Allen Iverson does this then he'll do that. That's up to God. It ain't up to anyone in here. That is up to God. He handles that.

Reporter: "What are we talkin bout, GOD? GOD? We're not talkin bout you missing practice. We're talkin bout GOD. We in Bible Study? Sister Slap-Alot where are thou? GOD? We're not talkin bout practice, we're using GOD's name in vain. What in Christ sake are we talkin bout. GOD? GOD man?"

Man that was a great press conference... lol, shooting percentage left up to God...

[Kobe4life]

[Sword.Dragons]

I heard afterwards his coach said something like
''wow he said the word practice more times then he's done it this year"

[20 Dimes A Game]

Ha.

Funny, i love the way he tries to break the uneasy silences.
