Thread: Allen Iverson may be a punk but people should see this

YouTube - Allen Iverson crying & giving good message

Gives a great message and you don't really hear about stuff like this that he does. Like he says, you only hear about the bad stuff. I can not take credit for finding this video, Bill Simmons from ESPN Page 2 posted it but I thought I'd share it for people who may not watch or read ESPN all the time. He delivers a really good message and after watching it I can't really hate on the guy as much

Intresting, good stuff...

great video... many of these guys, including AI, live in a world/image they created, and milked, but they are people behind the image...

Yeah unfortunately for AI he plays the part of the bad guy. When he was younger I think he liked it. Now he is a more mature adult and yeah he has his quirks but he is not a bad person. One thing too is go read about his life. Everything he has overcome is pretty impressive

the media only cares about bad rep and bad news..

Nice video. He's been my favorite NBA player for awhile....even though he choked in Detroit

Nice to see him out of his "thug" shell a little bit. He seems like a decent guy underneath the tough persona.

If the crying and whatnot in the video got you down, here is a video involving him to lift your spirits:

the way i understand people is 5% of all people are really assholes..really..45% act like assholes just to hide their soft side (dont wanna look weak) and the other 50% just want to hear ya and help ya... if you let them.... good to see the soft side of AI...
