Gordon James I mean he probably did miss a practice to go to his friends funeral, but it wasnt an isolated incident. He was a 5'11 possibly even 5'10 man playing 41.7 minutes a night in the NBA. He wasnt practicing at all because that was the only way to take care of his body.

This is an important pivotal moment in American history. Of course it will and must always be remembered. It is one of the greatest speeches ever, delivered by the most superior athlete, ever known to man.
It will serve as a prime example of the early 2000s racism the left points to as systemic (a lot of the rhetoric was “lazy thug gangster doesnt practice”).

Iverson played 41 minuets per game in his career and they are asking him why he doesn’t practice. One of the hardest working players in the history of the game.
Sport's journalists many of them are full of shit losers with lifetime jealousy issues with athletes. These love it when they see an opening to get on an athlete; particularly a Black one.
Just like the PED issue. Has any of these Punkass journalists interviewed a team physician or trainer? What about an owner's incentive to have a player he is paying millions of dollars be able to come back from injury in 6 weeks instead of being out a year?
Do you know of any sports talk show that has taken sports medicine physicians to task on steroids? Just look at games, Athletes are frequently triaged and hospitalise but we are supposed to believe Sports medicine physicians, trainers and owners have nothing to do with getting their prized athletes juiced That's because Sports journalists who never played are racist latent homosexuals that put the entire burden on athletes.
People always forget or haven’t seen the second half of this scene. This was right after one of his closet friends died. How many players play 82 games now?
The only reason he was any good was because he practiced (and played) so much. The season in question he missed like 1 practice and averaged like top minutes played for a few decades. Probably one of the harder working stars of all time. And they all work super hard…the dude literally got vilified because he had corn rows and tats
Not really a work ethic thing then it was hey if you're going to be late or not show up call first. If any of us no call no showed at our job we'd get in trouble right? But i agree this was making mountain out of a mole hill, but it did teach me as a kid to don't just disappear or people will freak out.
OKCThunder Champs I'm just going to go out on a limb here and say that maybe since he was the best player on the team and was looked at as the leader, there's much his teammates could have learnt from him during some one on one time during a practice. I thought that was pretty obvious. I was pretty good at hockey growing up, but I don't doubt that if Wayne Gretzky came to my practices I could have learnt a lot from him and probably would have gotten better at hockey. The other thing, is like many others, basketball is a team sport and the reason why practices are important is to get everyone working together as a cohesive unit. Learning plays, and getting the entire team on the same page is very important during team sports. All that being said, I really don't give a fuck and thought this shit was hilarious.
Looking back, he was completely devastated by his friend's death and everyone made this speech a meme without recognizing the pain he was going through.
That pain is not unique and it is not what is focused on. You have a hard working individual here who is getting criticized for something insignificant. He is showing how it's too common that media and fans will criticize a star player for the smallest thing. How people want to see the best of us fail.
Romans 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved...
For context Iverson had just finished up a season where he averaged 43.7 minutes per game while playing with a broken hand. That is more than 10 minutes more than what Giannis averaged this year. In the entire decades of the 80s, the 90s, the 2000s and the 2010s nobody ever averaged that many minutes. In the midst of that he missed one practice and the media killed him for it for the rest of the season. Iverson has his faults but effort was NEVER one of them.
Are you implying that no matter how hard he tried, AI with his skillset could have never been a more successful player with higher effort and professionalim?
@@mexicano7926 I was not comparing real AI to an imaginary perfrct AI. I was comparing real AI to every other real player who played in the 80s, 90s, 2000s and 2010s and by those standards he was among the hardest working if not the hardest working player ther was. No one else averaged 43.7 minutes a game and today's players don't even remotely approach that.
@@meadbert I get your point. For example, look at westbrook, who a couple years back was one of the leaders in minutes as well, he is a pretty good comparison to AI, has not won a championship. IMO hardwork is more than personal output or avg minutes played, it is recognizing your leadership role as a star player and using it to further elevate yourself, which unlike Giannis, its something Westbrook and AI were not able to do. Also no player playing over 40 min could also be because sports medicine has evolved in a positive way in the last decade
@@zoeskee1199 Agreed, except that Jordan, Kobe, Magic, Bird, Duncan, LeBron didn't miss practice and then get upset that people were angry with him. That being said, this is the greatest rant in the history of sports!!! Gotta love AI!!
I'll never ever forget the word practice again. When I'm old and can't even remember my families names or who they, are I'll still remember the word practice, thanks to Iverson.
I’m 32 and proud to say the best years of basketball for me were turning on Comcast and watching Iverson play for Philly. My favorite player and when he said he played with everything he had. One of the best to do it. I wish he won a title. Thanks AI for all the great memories
i was not an Iverson guy during his peak years but i respected the hell out of him. He was barely 6ft and he dominated the Nba as a scorer. This man was a prolific scorer and carried the sixers for years on his back. He doesn't get the respect he deserves now but this man was a baller and a Hall of Famer.
Allen Iverson was great, he did a lot for the franchise from the Philadelphia 76ers. I loved his game when he played. He went. All out, God bless and cash back.
That was one of the best soundbites of all time. I'm a Laker fan, true blue and gold. I sat in Staples Center many a night watching him. He was a superstar circus act. I only mean that with mad respect.
When Ted Lasso mentioned “Practice” i just said “we talkin’ about practice” and sure enough Ted gives the speech close to word for word. Brilliant scene and reference. Iconic.

You're objectively wrong. Internet memes existed long before this shit. Yes, not to the level they are now but there was an internet culture evolving over time. The fact that it wasn't available to everyone doesn't make it not a meme... it was just the culture of that subgroup that reached a smaller amount of people. Kind of like how any community has jokes that are inclusive to themselves that outsiders wouldn't get. Not only did the internet have a culture and subcultures in the 90's just think about the fact that online gaming existed in the 90's. The first counter-strike came out in 1999. PS2 had netplay in 2001-2002, I think. I used to play SOCOM and FFXI on there. EverQuest came out in 1999. World of Warcraft 2004. This video of AI was from what? 2001? But I don't think it even got popular until later on. That's the first internet meme? Yeah dude no. You're just looking at memes now and trying to compare it 1:1 to things 25-30 years ago.

+Gamesr Gamsr the main meaning was that Iverson's best friend just died and they just lost a game and it was disrespectful for them to talk about practice while he's lost his friend.
Happy 20th Anniversary to the best press conference of all time! AI is a Philly treasure! Pound for pound the one of the toughest players to ever wear a NBA uniform.
I just watched a Ted Lasso interview and found out Ted’s speech was based on this. I didn’t know the reference so I came here to watch. Very funny, Ted Lasso !
my favorite part is "but we talkin about practice, man. what are we talkin about? practice?" it's like halfway through the rant he forgets what we were talking about.
He kept pounding that in the heads of the media.. He wasn't doing that because he didn't have anything else to say. He was trying to pound it in their head that he gave every game 💯 for that team. And he just suffered a loss of a loved one who died. And they was talkin about "practice". Nobody asked him how he was holding up. Nobody asked him how he was feeling. He's carrying the weight over a tragic loss in his life and he's supposed to carry an entire team of full grown men who should also be held accountable for their game play.. But this dude wanted to ask him about "practice".. Fuckin media don't give a shit about nobody but their own story. That dude deserved that scolding from AI.
Thanks for this comment, I was far too young back when this happened to understand why he was talking about this. The media has and will always be the same shitty media.
He had the stage. That was his chance. He didn't wanna get to personal, then he should just ignore the speculation. Let people assume. There's no control over that.
If I'm in a sullen or depressive mood, all I need to do is watch this video of AI & practice ! Allen Iverson is beyond naturally funny! It's not a forced "funny," but it comes out so authentic & let's face it, either you're funny or not. You can't force being funny. It's cut & dry, either you are or you're not. He's one of the greatest basketball players in the history of the NBA. He knew how to rap & was as funny as ever without even trying. Allen Iverson had the whole ball of wax! He is definitely my absolute favorite player!🏀😊💞💞💞💕💕
Because it is a team sport and you have to play together to make plays like the Warriors ... the more practice they have playing with you is the better they will be able to play with you...
ikr :D And to get that Offensive Consistency to 99 without glitching, you have to practice another 20 years after your initial 20 year career is over. But... we talkin' bout practice... not a game... practice :D

“We talking about practice man what are we talking about we talking about practice man”
Legend says he’s still talking about practice.
Go Texans
Trevor Morris yes cox we talking about Practice
0:00 - 2:18 is funny
2:19 - 2:22 is just legendary
😭💀😭😭😭😭
Im not so good in English. Pls tell me the main meaning, why he talks about this topic so emotional?
Gamesr Gamsr He said the word "practice" ALOT of times in this interview. That's why it's funny, he KEPT on saying "practice".
+Gamesr Gamsr the main meaning was that Iverson's best friend just died and they just lost a game and it was disrespectful for them to talk about practice while he's lost his friend.
Thank you Jared! How i understand a journalist told him the he have not enough practice because he lost a game, And then Iver go this way right?
Happy 20th Anniversary to the best press conference of all time! AI is a Philly treasure! Pound for pound the one of the toughest players to ever wear a NBA uniform.
This or "the playoffs" i dont know which is my favorite....
Philly totally wasted his potential
He doesn’t have a problem with practice, he has a problem with talking about it. The media really tried to spin this on him
"How imma make my teammates better from practice?"
LMAO
That had me in tears lol
“How da hell can I make my teammates better by practicing”😭😭😭
Lmaooooo
By doing it.
@@vinito19 The 76ers were scrubs back in 01, AI didn’t need practice
I died
@@mashwork6615 rip
"If you practice like it's a game, when you play the game, it will feel like practice." 💪💪💪💪💪
Still my all time favorite player. He had heart and talent. I miss watching AI
We talkin' about DRILLS IN 2K...not a game, not a game, not a game.....DRILLS!
😂
we talking bout drills! drills! not the games I spend VC on even when it's my last. we talking bout drills!
+Mike Jones (MC Beast) u stupid dh he meant 2k16

"How the hell can I make my teammates better by practise?" :DDD
Riku Väyrynen he saved the best for last
Practicin'
Absolutely never gets old. Ever!!
One of the greatest interviews ever. Ever.
Growing up in the late 90's Iverson was every kids hero. This man is a legend
♐BRILL 39327 not mine
GUNNA LAD congratulations
Not mine either lol. Kobe was the man
Fuck yall niggaz Iverson the illest lol
he stood up to authority like no other
Ted Lasso riffing this is pure gold
I know I’m pretty late but just finished it and I saw Ted Lasso saying practice and I was like omg this is from AI!
I see this show mentioned everywhere. I have to see it!
I just watched a Ted Lasso interview and found out Ted’s speech was based on this. I didn’t know the reference so I came here to watch. Very funny, Ted Lasso !
So this were ted lasso got his practice speech from
Literally just watched that scene and was like ummmmmm
my favorite part is "but we talkin about practice, man. what are we talkin about? practice?"
it's like halfway through the rant he forgets what we were talking about.
My favorite player forever, I love him.
He said practice 25 times well played allen.
homer simpson 25 and a half! 😂
Amanda Firestone wdym
100 subs without a video bc he said prac- and then stopped
@@amandafirestone3797 haha
24 1/2
He kept pounding that in the heads of the media.. He wasn't doing that because he didn't have anything else to say. He was trying to pound it in their head that he gave every game 💯 for that team. And he just suffered a loss of a loved one who died. And they was talkin about "practice". Nobody asked him how he was holding up. Nobody asked him how he was feeling. He's carrying the weight over a tragic loss in his life and he's supposed to carry an entire team of full grown men who should also be held accountable for their game play.. But this dude wanted to ask him about "practice".. Fuckin media don't give a shit about nobody but their own story. That dude deserved that scolding from AI.
Thanks for this comment, I was far too young back when this happened to understand why he was talking about this. The media has and will always be the same shitty media.
Rs
Just thinking the same thing SMH
He had the stage. That was his chance. He didn't wanna get to personal, then he should just ignore the speculation. Let people assume. There's no control over that.
Nigga better practice
This never gets old.
This never gets old lol
Take a shot every time AI says practice.
Rest in peace
.40 BAC level R.I.P
You talkin' about practice?
The Engie That Cried Nope 😭😭😭
The Engie That Cried Nope
I’m supposed to be the franchise player and we in here talking about practice😅😅😂😂
Practice man
@@ky5059 not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game like it's my last!!
You have a great idea
5 HUNID
With no rings lol. Carried a team to the finals in 01 and lost because he didn't practice 😂
One of the greatest warriors in sports history. If he needed time to recuperate then so be it.
This is a classic rant funny as hell
I always lose it at the end. "How the hell can I make my teamates better by practicing" lmao
smokingterd53 lol he’s right he’s not accountable for everyone on the teams performance in the game...
@@xxxtrddy Tell that to Jordan...
Xxxtrddy you obviously don’t know how team sports work lol
Coty Ballingall I do...but it starts as an individual...every individual on the team has to want and to do better...
He knows his teammates weren't on par with the rest of the league lol
iverson : what did u think of my
practice rant
russ : great execution
Anthony Santiago lol. Well done
Next question
I’ve been on the planet for almost 25 years . And I have never heard the word practice used more in my whole life than in this 2 minute video
If I'm in a sullen or depressive mood, all I need to do is watch this video of AI & practice ! Allen Iverson is beyond naturally funny! It's not a forced "funny," but it comes out so authentic & let's face it, either you're funny or not. You can't force being funny. It's cut & dry, either you are or you're not. He's one of the greatest basketball players in the history of the NBA. He knew how to rap & was as funny as ever without even trying. Allen Iverson had the whole ball of wax! He is definitely my absolute favorite player!🏀😊💞💞💞💕💕
“How the hell can I make my teammates better practicing” -Allen iverson 😂
You can’t make them better you make ur self better
@@griffinholmes9423 very astute comment. did you manage to pass high school?
By leading as an example and inspiration
😂😂😂😂😂
Because it is a team sport and you have to play together to make plays like the Warriors ... the more practice they have playing with you is the better they will be able to play with you...
NBA2k17 in a nutshell
Hirschi74 W
ikr :D And to get that Offensive Consistency to 99 without glitching, you have to practice another 20 years after your initial 20 year career is over. But... we talkin' bout practice... not a game... practice :D
Jaymister That's dumb as hell. I'm still playing 2K16. I always skip every other year; they better not bring that stupid feature back this year.
that’s the reason i’m watching this video😂, i dropped a 40 point triple double and my coach said something about practice😂
Ahahahahahahahaha
Tomorrow marks 20 years since AI was talking bout PRACTICE
Legend has it Iverson is STIILL talking bout PRACTICE today
Now that I’ve found this video I watch it once a day 😭 because literally. It’s practice mane. Like he SAID
Fun fact: He's talkin' 'bout practice.
WTF, I thought he was talkin about the *Game*
Oh
Is he
I saw A.I. downtown in Philly back in July. Dude had no security or nothing.. He was just eating like he was a regular dude..
Where? I live in Philly
The TGI Fri near 15th St.
he has no money now... obviously he doesnt
Malcolm X Well shit.
Most NBA players don't need security they're fucking ripped and giant
This never gets old
