Now that’s cool. A.I. is a real one.
Most of the time you go these kinds of events and get these nugatory exchanges, like they don’t mean anything. “What’s your name? John? Alright John, here you go.” There’s no value in those kinds of canned interactions, but in this case you’ve got Allen Iverson giving a little kid some real advice, and those are impressionable moments on the young ones. Those are the kinds of things they’ll always remember.
Good stuff.
