Allen Iverson Speaks On Meeting Michael Jordan And Knowing The Notorious B.I.G. (Video)
November 16, 2018
Wow. A.I. knew Biggie like that. Got to think about that music project he was determined to drop at risk of torpedoing his pro ball career back in the day. Birds of a feather and such; wondering if he got a push, nod (or unh!) from Biggie if that rap career would have taken off.
(Okay, done thinking… NO WAY anybody gives up multiple MILLIONS for playing ball under contract for a ‘chance’ to make ‘some money’ in the rap game. NBA ‘bankshots’ paid WAY more than the ‘bank’ A.I. would have gotten as a rapper.

Iverson (Documentary Trailer)
May 1, 2014
Allen Iverson was more than a ‘thugged out’ pro basketball player. The impact he had on sports, fashion, commercial advertising, Hip-Hop… Dude was a cultural icon. True ‘The Answer’ was hated on as often as he was lauded; but you had to (at least) respect his game. And you know you remember when he became that dude (hint: search ‘Iverson crosses Jordan‘). Yup, jooked Michael out of his Jordans!
And then… there is the rest… Well, a documentary film about AI debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival, giving viewers a more holistic look at [what at least some will say is] a misunderstood sports celeb. Check out the trailer above.

It was clear that A.I. embraced Philly just as much as we embraced him. Allen Iverson was a high profile athlete who repped my hometown, but he was the personification of what being from Philadelphia was all about. Tough, hardworking, blue collar, & fearless.
