Don't know her but fully agree and then some

Too bad she didn't stop him from going bankrupt bad enough to play in European league.

We talkin' cornrows. Not a fade. Not a fro, but cornrows.

Braiding? Are we posting about braiding?

If only he had saved all the money he didn't have to spend at a barber shop.

Mom her!
Cgull47
That mom looks more like her dad.
SublimeMacrocosmicMalevolence
That's kinda mean to say just from one blurry static image. I'm like 90 certain she even looks feminine on video
I'm a mean mother fucker
Yay so I got it right, that's what I thought! Maybe I'm a people person after all
Wrong. You are an animal person.

What was the big deal with AI?

He was one the best point guards to play the game and forever changed the game of basketball

@fivemachinesinjapanese @anothersquirrelanotherplanet AI seems like a damn dirty dog. How do you even track where he's going? So good!
CodenameIfIHadToPickADude
As a philly fan, I miss this man
Tops54
Suns fan here, miss getting to watch someone as great as him even when we played him.
You guys are finally looking like competitors again (if the core can stay healthy)
NotWrenP
as a Bucks fan I bet you miss him more after these past three seasons
trogdor9000
As a basketball fan, I don't really get it. He was a good scorer and all, but his defense sucked. He was more persona then legit star.
Can someone explain why people loved him so much?
GavinScreaming
He basically personifies Philly sports culture. The fans love guys who talk shit, play hard as hell, and don't give a fuck
CityOfPhiladelphia
You sir are correct
He basically single handedly made the sixers a playoff team. Yeah he wasnt a defensive player and his personality was a bit much at times...
But he had the skills to back his talk up. And in a city like philly where we haven't done well since his time, it's hard not to miss him
Is making the playoffs in the NBA even an accomplishment? There's 16 out of 30 teams that make it every year.
Regardless, I guess making them a playoff team is something. It's more then i could do anyways.
He made them a finals team in 2001. That team was basically garbage without him and he took a game against that incredible Lakers team.
He had the swagger and backed it all up. He crossed over Jordan. He stepped over Tyronn Lue. He brought in the current NBA culture. 1/2
He led a mediocre squad to steal a finals game from the unbeatable 2001 Kobe and Shaq Lakers. If you can't love that, I dunno man. I dunno.
DTryptophan
His teammates in Philly were bad. Take AI off the 2001 team that made the finals, and they're one of the worst teams in the NBA that year.

Fuck you just say about Dikembe Mutombo?

Got to meet him at an NBA Season opener party in Atlanta. It was basically empty for an hour, he was a funny guy. Then the crowd came.

Hahahaha
For non-sports people, this is Allen Iverson. He was the coolest guy in the NBA.
jrking
No he wasn't.
Oh shoot you're right. I forgot LaVar Ball.
43rdpresident
I always like Rodman for not giving a fuck about anything
led the trend in hair, tats, and overall "give no fucks" attitude. He got disrespected by the NBA so much, but thankfully he got the HOF
manofice8993
Well he did never when a championship... Jk jk he could ball out. Legend and seems like a good dude.
YouCannotUnSeeThis
was?
If he was still playing he would still be. Hands down.
DeltaGekko

What do you mean..."was" lol.
He's not currently in the NBA. Unfortunately.
GeeEm
Wow, I read that as Alien invasion
80percentlegs
And our mothers have the same name
AltOrc
IS HE Ain't DONE COME BACK 2018
He'd be the first HOF player to unretire lol
ItsMattyNotDaddy
His mom is braiding his hair courtside. I don't need you to tell me that he's the coolest, I already knew.
1Plebian
I want his mom, think she'll allow it?
GrabEmByTheEmbassy
Isn't he broke now? Like... Latrell Sprewell broke?
Hes coming back in The Big 3 League too
marifromky
yes!!
Ya boi, I can't wait. Finally something to look forward to in the off-season
Hell yea
professorfuzz
Isn't he completely broke?
Nah, he put 50 mil away that he can't access until he's 45 or 50 or something like that
bizon1829
And he loved the game. Well most of the game. Practice on the other hand...

JBSmoove
Dude had a rough life too. Persecuted as a kid, became an alcoholic as an adult and lost everything.
Excitebike
He didn't lose everything though, he was a superstar overseas, and one of his best friends put away $50 million into a trust
I didnt know. Glad his friend was able do that for him!
AuBoss
Nah it was part of his reebok contract that part of the contract would be put in to a trust.
whoever wrote that contract is now his best friend lol
He is the ultimate case of "what could have been". It's amazing how far he got with all that he had to go through.
No he is the opposite. He succeded.
I don't think you got my point. He had amazing career, but imagine if he hadn't been wrongfully incarcerated as a teenager. If a team 1/2
would have trusted him as their franchise player. If he had another all-star to work with. He could have been the GOAT instead of a top 20.
TRlLLdeGrasseTYSON
What could have been? He is now a first ballot Hall of Famer and considered by many the best pound for pound player ever.
Not disrespecting the legend, he is a top 20 for sure. Could have been the greatest ever if just a few things had gone his way.
The latter half of his career was mired by stupid teams that couldn't treat him as the franchise piece he was. Could have been the GOAT.
