Allen Iverson at Detroit Pistons Press Conference: “You talkin’ bout practice?”

Allen Iverson

November 4, 2008 – Dr. Anklesnap

Every NBA player makes a media relations mistake from time to time. Allen Iverson will never be able to forget his biggest media relations mistake a few years back with the Philadelphia 76ers when he made his now infamous “Practice, we talkin’ about practice man?” statements, followed up by “How the hell can I make my teammates better by practicin?”.

Well Iverson is a lot older, more mature, and certainly more media saavy nowadays but it didn’t stop him from walking into a pretty funny setup from Joe Dumars today at the Pistons press conference introduction of their new star and future hall of fame player.

I have included the full video of the press conference below, but the part where Iverson is teased about his past statements on ‘practice’ come at about the 1:40 mark if you want to skip to it. Your welcome Detroit, Denver just gave you a hall of fame gift…..I hope you appreciate it!

    this was a great move for the pistons. they couldn’t score on no body. Iverson is lightning in a bottle.

    I think the Pistons made the right move for now and for later.

    At 33 this guy can still score with the best of them.

    Hey Anklesnap, spellcheck is your friend. It is “You’re welcome”, not “Your Welcome”. Get a life.

    Between Obama being elected and Sheed and Allen joining forces, it feels like I’ve been walking around in a three-day dream.

    LOL….you’re totally right…..what I need to do is surf websites looking for an opportunity to comment on errors in grammar. Then i’d “have a life”….

    I think it was a very nice trade. ;) Iverson and Billups are great players.

    I like the trade too. I can see good from both sides. Nobody got the better of each other in this one when you figure in future cap relief.
