Allen Iverson Admits The Truth About His Viral “Practice” Moment 

FOR REAL

You said some then

2000s kids dream😂

2000's lmao

90s my guy lol

It’s up there with “playoffs!”

Yeah, but I had to stop using it after the real story came out years ago. Them reporters need to leave some of these athletes alone.

​@@sonicboomkj wym

@@sonicboomkjUnderrated part of that is when he stops in the middle of it and just goes “what are we REALLY talking about?”

@@jpg6296 Some of the reporters, sports analyst, sports anchors were using "practice" as a running joke or to make fun of Iverson. Then to find out what was going on with dude at the time, it wasn't really funny anymore.

Lol 🤣

I love them both. But lack of discipline kept them from reaching greater heights. That's a fact. But struggled massively with that

Wonder how your lack of discipline has kept you from the top of your field as well. ​@@zacharywhite211

Lame

i often think about AI’s reebok deal … lifetime deal, $1M/year until he dies and he’s going to get some loyalty bag when he turns 55

I thought the same damn thing!

In principle I understand your stance indeed, but Shaq in to out of shape was still effective and he did win a championship 🏆 without Kobe. Shaq had enough years of practice and success to go along with it. Practice is for everyone, but it's players that attend practices and never achieve championships or success

@@trevinhickman9022 shaq is one of the most successful underachievers the game has ever seen. he could've been the GOAT if he worked out even a little. that's the disappointing thing.

@@be4st856 I don't see how he can be viewed as an underachiever, he had 4 NBA titles. His conditioning was not the best sure, but he achieved a considerable amount of success

@hickman9022 he's not an underachiever relative to us, a basketball player or even a hall of fame player. He's an underachiever considering his potential and talent.

@@be4st856I get what you’re saying. Kobe said the same thing. These mfs purposely missing the point lol

hard to listen to

All that drinkin will slow ya down

naw yall white

Wish I had an older cousin like him..

I’m yelling for him to shut up

he was desperate to ask stupid questions.." AI did you stretch during your basketball career?"

​@arsenalcobain look up goggins stretching then see what u think

😂 lol

You might think that, but I've watched enough Inside the NBA to know that Shaq needs a chaperone.

Please Iverson can barely talk, Adam has to fill in the holes for the audio only audience. Count how many times AI says ya know or know what I mean.

That was just his impact as an athlete: elite athleticism. His social impact was wild too, he is the one that brought all that tats, style and swag we got today in bball. I would argue in all sports...

that bryce young shot tho

He is incredible. But I still regret his career was not better. He has himself to blame. Poor discipline and bad advice. He's clearly so much more mature and wise now.

lol there is ZERO guarantee that AI could have withstood the year bryce young just had. this mf had the ABSOLUTE WORST line in the NFL last season.

100% on not stretching before exercise. I always just walk for like 5-10 minutes and that’s the best thing ever

Stretching prior to warm ups is actually dangerous. Warming up is important. Don't just jump into sprints. Walk around a bit, get your heart rate up, THEN hit the sprints. Stretching? Only positive effect it has is help get your heart rate up, same as walking or light shoot-around. Stretching has no other benefit, and has risks because it can cause small tears in the muscle fibers that don't have a chance to heal before gametime. The ONLY good time to do stretching is AFTER the game - when your goal is to break up muscle scar tissues and generate blood flow to clear away lactic acids to aid in the recovery process.

@@jakestine4753 I didn't know about stretching afterwards. It sounds like it makes sense, and I do feel a little better when I stretch after exercising. Thanks!

We in here talkin bout practice

Practice?

@@StoneColdGemnot the game!

😂

They asked him about that earlier, I think. He didn't want to come off the bench. So he retired instead.

I Never did 0 injuries

I never stretched as well and I still play today without stretching, all you need is a proper warmup and shoot around

He’d would have played 5 years. Kobe admits he practiced and didn’t sleep enough and regretted it. He also admitted Shaq was too big, got too beat up during games to practice like him. Shaq needed to rest between games and heal in the off season. He gained weight so David Robinson, t duncan, kg, morning, big country, Hakeem couldn’t push him off the block.

@@nonyobussiness3440 Yeah, he was the most dominant basketball player I've ever seen. So who am I to question his method? lol

That's definitely 🧢

Care to explain further?

Dynamic stretching…. Not static … that’s essentially warming up

@@AwnPoynt - specifically static stretching does help with flexibility but studies have shown that it can weaken muscles and are more prone to injury. It’s better to do static stretching at the end of a workout. @jimdino77 is correct about dynamic stretching and I’ve often done that before playing tennis. However if you don’t do any stretching (dynamic or otherwise) and just warm up, you will usually be fine

@@captainspirou appreciate this response. Now all I gotta do is find out the difference between static and dynamic stretching lol

You never heard of Muhammad Ali?

Martin Lawrence aswell
