Iverson is the type of dude you hang out all night with and try to sleep before the sun comes up. Then you see him the next day and he tells you a whole story about something you missed because “you left too early”
AI 100 percent heart. The way he lived( didn't see him, but heard and read from other players, wild stories, about Iverson. Like he partied wild all night. And the other day , drop like 25 points , man that is insane as hell) + Pluss with that frame, and Allen I is a hall of famer. Dude, truly he is a bigger freak then Giannis. People don't understand how awesome player AI was.
AI was my favorite player growing up, he gave maximum effort when he played. In a way it saddens me to hear how he didn’t try to improve and how his ego controlled him. He only used his talent but if he had coupled that with hard work and discipline as well who knows what he could’ve been
@@LordBranniganThe man, I read in what environment, he grow up. Than no wander he had big ego. From lowest powerty, to millions in your pocket, it takes time to adjust. It is easy for you and me to ✍️ write he had big ego. But remember how you would be in your early 20' s. Iverson probably hang out with dangerous people, also read that from other NBA players. Don't get me understood, I don't judge him at all. It is his live,and AI should leave it, as his big hearts want to. But in the back of my head, I hope he settled down
@@ilijakolarovski2813 yeah for sure, he came from nothing and for a good while was the biggest thing in the nba, everyone telling you you’re amazing etc that along with the generational wealth has got to have an effect on you. Despite his flaws, I’ll always be a fan. To this day I rock Reebok questions and answers from time to time
@@LordBranniganThesome players had to have a medium prob without the partying he wouldn’t have played as good because he need that good time to play good the next day kinda how Dennis Rodman was
I don't know if anyone has thought about this...but we need a Kevin Garnett and Vernon Maxwell Podcast! The way that these two tell stories about their experiences in the NBA....would be classic comedy!
Yep, 2000-2001 season where the Sixers made the Finals. Sixers got rid of Vernon Maxwell later during the season and then he signed with the Mavericks.
Team basically thought Vern was going to intimidate ai to doing what they wanted him to that was a terrible idea guys like ai don’t get intimidated by anything they will challenge you at every step
i literally just saw iverson at a casino last week and i tbought to myself he aint as small as everybody tries to make him out to be lol but im short though so...lol
@@StreetsAintNoMyth5 so Charles Barkley isn't iconic?? Dream teamer a ton of all star appearances promotion and marketing off the court not just now but in his playing days?? C'mon now stop it
I was so mad when we got rid of Vernon for no reason. As much good as Larry Brown may have did, he also held us back because he was so stuck in his ways. And AI the type who would have needed a big man to play that role, somebody like Charles Oakley because he was too fearless to listen, but did respect veteran bigs.
I’m a Pistons fan and when we hired him I was like dang this not going to work. I think Brown experience in Philly helped him in Detroit. He would still push buttons then he would back off.
Iverson really has to be one off the most respected players ever. Players from the past and present adore him. I don't think you can win with him as the number 1 option but as a cultural icon he's up there with the best players off all time.
You know what’s wild….i went to elementary school with Vernon maxwells daughter when he played for the sixers. I remember her being on the playground with us and everyone talking about it…
When Mad Max ran hot on the court, boy was it fun to watch. Still remember a game where he single handedly beat the Spurs. He had all the talent in the world and I would argue Mad Max was MJ's least favorite player to play against and the only one I ever saw make MJ lose his cool. Of course Mad Max lost his cool so much it became his liability. Cant wait to watch more of this interview. Dude looks good for almost 60.
When Vernon played with the Spurs in the 80's. I remember Larry brown putting him in with David Wingate. Awesome defense. The would shutdown the others team's backcourt. A sight to see. Vern Vern Vern Vern Vern.
No, see, Larry wanted AI out of the clubs and Vernon was going to the clubs with him. So in Larry's eyes, Vernon wasn't "keeping him in line." AI went off and dropped 30 a night to spite Larry bc he was sick of him trying to control him
I always wondered why Sheed never went home to play with Al. I know it was a different era, but I wonder if it ever came up, I know it would have killed Stern, lol.
That Vernon Maxwell? Really? Is this that guy who in 1991 before playing against Nets and guards Drazen Petrovic, the Mozart of European basketball, averaging 25 ppg, he (playing with defending champions Houston Rockets) said :" has to be born yet a white European dude that beat my ass..".. Results, Nets winning the game, Drazen scoring 44 points, guarded most of times by Mad Max
I don't get what you trying to say. Max is in several podcasts saying he rather guard Jordan than Drazen. Max said he was the hardest to guard all-time.
Olajuwon Hakeem from Nigeria. I say that to blame the ignorance of American player of 80s and 90s. They thank only Americans blacks people could play basketball. Today players as doncic and jokic receive the respect they deserve. A guy that dominated European and international competitions, Petrovic way far better of Doncic today, was very disrespected by an average player as Maxwell
Mad Max is a real character, but he says things about his play like we can't check his stats. Averaging 5 points 1.2 boards and 1.6 assists shooting 33.6% in 15 minutes per game with the 76ers is downright awful my guy!
Dude I don't wanna insult Snow but it sounds like had max received starter minutes and established a rhythm he would've been more productive than the starter.
You know, players always say Vince is the most talented guy they’ve ever seen. And they’re probably right. BUT, pound for pound, I don’t think there has been a more naturally gifted player than Allen. Freakish athleticism, and angelic speed of light quickness. Fastest player end to end I’ve ever seen(with the possible exception of white chocolate) If he had been 6/6- 6/7 like Vince…
sorry to any who disagree but nba all-time there are special players that just standout and will forever standout and Iverson is DEFINITELY one of them: (in no particular order) Kobe Lebron Iverson Jordan Magic Bird Kareem Hakeem etc. etc. You cannot tell the story of the nba without Allen friggin Iverson, man. How? lol This dude was just super special. He gets credit for sure but not nearly enough.
@@GetBackRy3x If you asked him and he answered honestly he would disagree. Allen clearly wanted to play several more years, that's why he bounced around between Denver, Detroit, Memphis, Philly and Turkey at the end.

True they just didn’t have a good contingency plan to Coach Allen he needed a Rick Adelman type who could understand offense and could support him with on court talent. His Philly coaches after Brown weren’t good.
Naw he didn’t win jack shit because Brown and King traded all his offensive talent Stackhouse,Tim Thomas, Larry Hughes, Jim Jackson for rebounders and defenders and his one run with Denver they ran into GoatBryant in his prime, I get it you watched basketball but don’t really understand basketball
Allen Iverson was one of the most selfish players in NBA history. He’s single-handedly changed the game from the worst. He is the reason we have all the shoot first “combo guards“ who are really point guards that won’t pass. He cared nothing about winning only about getting his points and his swag

That’s why you have him sleep with you so that doesn’t happen

Not always...I remember the hate and the selfish and carrying talk from older players

na not at all. they was hatin on him heavy when he first came in 96 especially barkley, then he got their respect around this time in 2000

They was hatin cuz he was new and makin headlines off court. They never hated on his game.

Vernon is awesome. Love hearing his stories and comments.
And his voice is unmatched!
After two great stories but then to close it out with “Yeah. I played for Larry Brown.” 😂 Brilliant.
A Mad Max clip is an automatic ▶️
Vernon and Samuel Jackson use the word "mfer" very well🤣
big fact lol
that would be a entertaining drunk argument between those two
It's like a preposition for him
It’s Samuel L. Jackson, not Samuel Jackson. And he can actually speak extremely well without saying it too, unlike Maxwell.

Lawd him and those casinos 💰💰
Iverson is the only nba player to reach icon status with no chip. Great
He's the people's champ🏆. Well respected by all fans and all peers, including other NBA Greats & Icons.
