Like that broke ass brawd was going somewhere without A.I.Tawanna Iverson been there since day one tho.
She was still there when Iverson went to prison.
Even when he went to jail as a kid, he still had a better chance at being at successful than any other nikka she could've got.
Damn it's really been over 20 years since AI has debuted and over a half decade since he has last played a game in the NBA. Seems like just yesterday that he was crossing over cats and hitting J's in they mouth.

Man, how yall making Shaq an afterthought in this AI slurpfest.
Iverson was that dude, but Shaq was one of the most dominant men to ever play the game. And was probably the most entertaining big man ever.
And as far as culture, Shaq brought hip-hop to the league 4 years before Iverson. Iverson brought the streets, but Shaq was representing a larger % of the youth culture when he broke in.
Lowkey I like the fact that Shaq and Duncan don't have many Stans. They can be appreciated for what they did, instead of people's childhood fantasies of wanting to be like them.
