It Would Appear That Allen Iverson Left His Hall of Fame Trophy at a Sheraton
Allen Iverson continues to keep it real.
Enshrined at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame over the weekend, AI delivered a truly excellent speech and accepted his trophy, seen here, immortalizing him in basketball lore. The trophy will serve as a lasting reminder for AI that he is one of the greats, even if the thing resembles a medieval dildo. It’s the sort of prized keepsake that you want to hold on to, like an Olympic Gold Medal or a T.G.I. Friday’s Give Me More Stripes card. You cherish it, guard it with your very being. You only let it leave your side after a custom, temperature-controlled glass case blown by a dusty European woman with lungs of steel has been constructed to your exacting specifications. Or, you just leave it at the Sheraton in Springfield, MA before the etching has had time to properly cure:

I can only imagine the stories of how AI came to leave this behind, but I assume it includes comically large bottles of Cristal and a late-night room service order.
