NBA swag hall of fame inductee: Allen Iverson
the forefather of modern day nba swag
the answer mane. culturally the most important nba figure of our time. the tattoos, the cornrows, the attitude, the one man army streetball scorer mentality, hes the father of all that. u see a bit of AI in almost every player today.

- threw chair at someone in a bowling alley (fuck em who care)
- stepped over tyronn lue in the finals, shattering any manhood lue had left, as well as the manhood of all lightskin niggas. thats why they act womanly til this day

IVERSON’S INFAMOUS ‘PRACTICE’ RANT
It was a frustrating end to a frustrating season, and it created possibly the most famous end-of-season press conference of all time, if not the most famous press conference in NBA history. Allen Iverson, in the days following his Philadelphia 76ers’ first-round exit, was more than upset at coach Larry Brown’s contention that Iverson’s lacking practice habits may have cost Philadelphia a chance at another Finals appearance, so he went off on the local media. In an infamous rant, he treated the word and premise of “practice” as if it were as inconsequential as choosing Gatorade over water or choosing fish over chicken as a pregame meal. And all of it took place 10 years ago — May 7, 2002.
