Throwback Thursday: Iverson With The Hoyas

I don't know that I've ever seen a guy that's 6 foot nothing put so many people on posters. A.I. was one of the earliest memories I have of watching college basketball, right next to the Kentucky Wildcats of the early 90's. Nothing I like better than superstar athlete, that is ghetto as shit because I love when the media and old people squirm watching a tatted up ex con rake in millions and the admiration of every kid in the country. A.I. probably could have made twice as much money and been considered one of the greatest to ever play the game if he played into the role of humble, classy superstar like that sellout LeBrick tries (and fails miserably) to do. But Iverson was one of those guys that didn't give a fuck about what people thought of him and that's why I pulled for him to win the scoring title over Kobe and all those other sellouts, and thank God he didn't because we got some incredible quotes out of him throughout the years. And is there any nickname better than "Bubbachuck"?

Of course his most famous line: "We're talking about practice. We are not talking about the game, when it really matters, we are talking about practice"

"I got white friends, I mean my lawyers"

"I'm human man, somebody that bleeds, somebody that cries, somebody that makes mistakes. I'm real just like everybody else. I'm not perfect. I make mistakes along the way. I've been in jail three times."
