Why Teammates CLASHED With Allen Iverson

[steph_harden]

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

naw i disagree with that. Yea he loved football first but u can't watch a dude as passionate and competitive as AI was and say he didnt love the game. He went harder than everybody else on the court. He'd hit the clubs but then be going full speed all game. Gave his body up all the time. He wasn't dedicated to it. but he def loved the game

I'm an AI stan but if he had the mamba mentality even during the season he stayed in bars & casinos

I know a few pros and foundational Philly basketball fixtures that knew them both. The stories I was told.

Part of me wishes Bubba Chuck would have found his way to L.A. to play with Kobe.

AI is a legend, who cares?

Can’t stand corny Gil and Jones is definitely the opps forever. Word to Bean.

Is there an example of a guy known not to put the work in that became a champion(as the main guy)?

10,000 shots?

That video of Curry hitting 105 threes took 5 minutes. That's nonstop shooting.
10,000 shots before a game from anyone would be impossible.

I don't think he meant it literally.. just giving an example.

Ronaldinho won everything. AI won nothing.

That’s cuz in soccer it’s easy for big squads to stack teams plus there’s many trophies to play for during the year. AI didn’t play in the super team era and there’s only one trophy to play for.

He knows. He just likes to act like a fakkit.

Folks love AI because he was a go hard on the court special athlete.

You label and confine heads way too much on here.

It’s because @Joe Sixpack is not black.

It is. But I think it's important to nip hyperbole in the bud.
Especially on sports message boards where stannery runs rampant and even the most ridiculous tales become accepted as a phony broader truth over time.

I'm from Atlantic city and yea...AI used to turn them casinos out
My parents (casino workers )said AI was chill....

Translation: I knew it was hyperbole, but I decided to catch fake feelings because I saw Kobe’s name.

Brehs holidays in Brasil would always run longer than supposed to. Would party into the early morning hours

He had a good 5yr run..a World Cup, LA Liga and a Champions League before he was 27.
