@AB_Seymour 3 жыл бұрын

@@ishmaelm1932 It's not alcohol that's making him emotional, Iverson has always worn his heart on his sleeve and is an emotional person amongst those that he has real love for. He also recently lost his college coach and mentor which is why he was emotional when his name came up. Coming from someone who has family/friends that know AI but also from someone who is an actual fan of A.I. Sure he drinks but he has always been an emotional person. You were just looking to be negative.

@@jwst8 it’s moreso who that “simple” phrase came from. Iverson was the man that allowed many young black men to feel okay with being unapologetically self expressive in multiple ways coming up. He took the brunt of most of the criticism, profiling, and hate right in front of us- stood up and still wreaked havoc on the league with high level play. Then outside of “race” he paved a way for smaller guards or smaller players to be dominant in general. So yes, “What’s wrong with being you?” means everything coming from someone who had to answer this question to himself every-time someone publicly tried to change him at each step. Weirdo.
