May 7th has to be up there with the most historic days. MJ's The Shot, Reggie's 8 points in 9 seconds, 8th seed Nuggets upsetting 1st seed Sonics, Iverson's practice. I wonder what day can top that.

What Reggie Miller did is crazy. AI’s speech is iconic.

[@petesmart1983]

​@OldmanWithers tmac who never made it past the first round😂 until the spurs

[@croskoal]

Not sure Tmac overshadowed Reggie Miller... both were impressive performances, but the Pacers were done, in a playoffs game, without that one. Sure, it's not that impressive now, but back then... that guy was the closest thing we had to Steph Curry (again, of course Steph surpassed him)

[@bbm1077]

To be fair, I understand why it was confusing. Game 3's were being played today, and they were announcing game 5's four days from then. So he couldn't really say what the series scores would have been. That would have caught me off guard too.

[@Mitsuho629]

It's still a shame that people make fun of Iverson for his practice rant. With some context its not really funny at all. His best friend died earlier in the day and he was frustrated that people were annoying him about missing a practice. "My best friend is dead & we lost. And this is what I have to go through for the rest of the summer until the season is all over again. This is what I got to go through.” Its funny to meme some times but try to act like a human being when some one else is suffering.

[@PapaYogito]

What a lot of people don't know is that AI had a close friend pass away which was why he didn't show up for those practices they were talking about. He says it at the end of the press conference but networks love to cut that part out

Doesn't excuse all the times prior he was late or absent

[@user-bt9vg9ns1w]

I blame Philly owners for that. They gained so much income just from A.I. and did not spend any $$ from their cap. With Grandpa Old Mutombo Iverson was the only person to play. Rest of the team were just bunch of scrubs who weren't at NBA level. That's why they put Ty Lou to run around him at defense and triple team him. If he had just 1 teammate who could score a bit we would have Iverson on GOAT debate now. Even Kobe said about the greatest in their era conversation that "we were very fortunate that AI wasn't 6'5" or 6'6" otherwise it would have been a different story."

[@e-kip9363]

Couldn't agree more. He always played 1v5. No one could've guard him if he had a buddy who could play. Imagine clubbing all night and drinking, not practicing and still becoming an MVP. If he worked hard like MJ, Kobe or LeBron he would be The GOAT
