Why Teammates CLASHED With Allen Iverson

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

Don't forget he was sentenced to 14years for a bullshyt "maiming".

He served 9months in a work camp...that has to change you.

He took that sentence like a G..no crying or nothing judge gave the sentence and he just :

Anyway I don't care about beautiful ball..breh put in work on the court and played hard...he had a whole generation watching the game ..I'm from South Jerz and he was the hero.

Damn I was in the hospital when he went off at the Staples Center .Lakers were undefeated in the playoffs I think...a breh had hope for a few nights

if AI put in more work he would've been more efficient. I wouldn't take AI over many other shooting guards for that reason. his game didn't really fit with any other stars either.

Funny, the last time i seen Iverson in person, he was at the bar at Dave and Buster's

AI was an athlete who could hoop...I never looked at him as a pure hooper

He would've been good at practically every sport

He didn't love hoops the way Kobe did...understandably so, Kobe grew up in a house where his father was a professional ballplayer and his mom's brother was also nasty on the court

AI was a star QB that could hoop

Even tho AI was small, he was an elite athlete early in his career...fast as a cheetah and could jump out the gym

No he loved the game, but he might have been the most gifted player in history. So he just felt like he didn't need that practice shyt ()

Dude used to routinely show up to shootaround reeking of alcohol and hungover then go drop 40. Never worked on his conditioning but literally would never get tired at all until he was in his 30s.


Kobe on the other hand didnt just love the game....he had goals and ambition within the game. He wanted to be the GOAT. Honestly being the GOAT probably mattered more to Kobe than just plain hooping.

AI was a pure hooper.

TMac was the same way. JVG used to reference it all the time . TMac didn’t really put in the work during the off time or offseason. He said kobe took 10000 shots before the game, and then said TMac doesn’t take 1000 shots all year round. I’m pretty sure a lot of guys that were stars during and before that era(before the aau generation) were like that.

No he didn't

Do you know much 10,000 shots is bruh?

His routine was make a 1000 shots.

 

[MoneyTron]

No he didn't

His routine was make a 1000 shots.

He was exaggerating for effect breh. Its pretty obvious.

AI was a pure hooper.

AI grew to love the game but he didn't love the game enough to put his best foot fwd

AI was a hooper but he wasn't a pure hooper...he was gifted for sure, but he clearly didn't work on his craft...it says a lot that he was able to become a HOFer without noticeably improving his game from yr to yr

 

[Controversy]

His mom forced him to play Basketball..in his own words he thought it was soft and didn't want to go..he saw his homies there and stuck with it.

Ann was smart for that

It’s weird seeing this discussion because I heard Nate Newton and a panel talking about his same subject in football. The primary player example brought up was Dez. The guy that players with Dez and was his roommate during training camp said Dez hated individual drills and would routinely go pull up some assistant or players coach when it was time to do the individual drills and say something was nagging him in his body and sit out those drills but as soon as the team drills were ready he would magically heal and start crushing the db’s during practice and scout team.said Dez would wake up ignore the nutritional plan, eat 3 bars of Doritos and go dominate practice .

Edit. Found the link about Dez

@16:15

What's a Doritos bar? Is it like a rice krispy treat but made with Doritos?

Sh1t sounds like concentrated high blood pressure in edible form

Bag. Was a typo

Bag. Was a typo

Oh ok, appreciate the clarification. Knowing how Texas gets down with their cuisine (especially with all the deep fried you-name-it) I really thought Dez was eating super sodium snacks in bar form first thing in the morning lol

 

[seemorecizzy]

very few ppl, if any, on the coli would train the way kobe did. if put in the same position as A.I, You are partying, fukkin hoes, and spending money on dumb shyt. especially at that young of an age. also, ai had more natural talent than Bean.

MJ had the ability to do both, so he was good.

kobe essentially lived a boring overall life compared to AI. Ppl forget basketball is just a job at the end of da day, and when most ppl finish their job they go out and party and are back at work again for 9am.

nothing wrong with either life style. Even if iverson trained harder, he wasn't winning any rings in that era.

Nah. He didn't "love" the game. Basketball wasn't his first love. That was football.

 

[Damnshow]

The problem wasn't practice. AI played SG position where he was undersized, instead of working on a point guard career, all that scoring did not translate well into big time playoff victories besides one season. And Billy King is a top 5 worst GM of all time, all the trades he did were made to make AI continue shooting 25-30 shots. A one man show for the ratings.

Sixers continue failing their current franchise player also. Had him and Jimmy on the team and they let Jimmy go.

Cant believe A.I. managed to drag them bums to the finals and even get a win off prime Kobe and Shaq.
