Once Joshua Harris got out of the way, we were treated to a great speech from AI. He shouted out everyone from Tawanna, his mom and kids – Tiara, Deuce, Isiah, Messiah and Dream – to Aaron McKie, Dei Lynam, Phil Jasner and Howard Eskin. It was vintage AI, and it was outstanding. He finished up pretty quickly, perhaps because he was eager to get out on the lake and reel in some widemouths.

Speach was pretty awesome. Pretty amazing to see his career come to an end. Wish the sixers could get the next AI in the 2014 draft
No need to worry Joel Embiid and the next Larry Bird(Creighton SF Doug McDermott)are on the way.
Did I miss the part where AI thanked Larry Brown?!?!?
Yeah I noticed that too. If he missed a shout out to LB I’m calling bullshit on this whole speech
It’s largemouth not wide mouth you yuppie
Great speech. I wonder if he practiced
If practice means a xanyx and 3 shots of Hennessey, than yes.
That boat will be on eBay in no time.
Widemouth and Bigmouth are other names fishermen call Largemouth Bass, knucklehead
Absolutely the best. Loved watching him his entire career. Thank you AI….hopefully the sixers can draft somebody this year with half your talent.
Much love for Bubba Chuck and I hope he can remain in the organization in some form.
I can look back and mark time and events in my own life that coincided with A.I.’s great career here.
Glad to see he picked up his dry cleaning and sported some classy attire. Once a thug, always a thug.
once a douche, always a douche.
I didn’t get a shout out, what’s up with that. I still remember the good old days when I threw Tawanna out of my Main Line mansion. She was banging on the door trying to get back in while me and my boys were drinking a 40.
“Someone is goin to die tonight and it ain’t going to be me.” A.I. In pursuit of Tawanna.
“What are we honoring this man for tonight? Did we run out of human beings?”

What chance is there for AI to work with Coach Brown?
An example of who not to become.
Expect the Sixers to hire Iverson to a non-position, so that he can collect money for doing nothing (like the Phillies are doing with Grampa Chollie).
