@ flight risk ... this is un @%#!+@% real

 

[ezflash26]

^yea anybody who listened to that interview I posted shouldve gotten the jest of what this doc was gonna be about...

with that being said, I do think it was a bit overhyped from when the info first leaked, talkin bout "it was gonna change the way you thought about Iverson" and all that !$@+. Maybe b/c I knew the basics of the story already. Pretty good tho...

 

[ill legal operation]

15 year sentence with 10 suspended years just leavin' 5 with the possibility of gettin' out in 10months does nothing but give the appearance of ''tough law/stern justice'' - just a smokescreen really...

...this doc is epic.

allen is an enigma imo, but i wonder how he would have been like if he didn't get convicted that first time

[0cks]

Much respect to Steve James and his family though. They seem get "it"

 

[doublejs07]

I love this doc....my only gripe is that I wished that there was some sort of commentary from John Thompson.

 

[lynchpin33]

that mike jarvis part was pretty funny!

 

[dmxfury]

Man, I wish we could hear from Big John, one of my all time favorite coaches and just an amazing guy (from what I know)

 

[al3xis]

Gonna guess JT declined an interview, which isn't surprising. Would have liked to hear from him as well DJ's.


Very good overall, as expected.

Worse...

 

[crazy dav0]

Great documentary ... that dude in the reebok sweater was pretty smart ...

@ the ending w/ ducks swimming across the pond

 

[tommykairaa]

damn..

makes me wanna buy some questions and ball

 

[sonoftony]

very good documentary. while AI is one of the best players i've seen and played with more heart than most players, it kills me to say this but he's still a selfish prick.

 

[cmoneymontana]

" What would have happened if this was an white athlete, in the state of VA" ?

Look up Peter Lalich......

Funny thing is, what REALLY happened with this kid, never got reported.

This 30 for 30 was better then expected.

 

[doublejs07]

John Thompson stuck his neck out to get Iverson into G-Town...as instrumental as Doug Wilder was in getting Iverson pardoned, Thompson made a much bigger impact in his life. Iverson's tenure at G-Town was hellish. Thompson stuck by the kid and proved to be the father-figure that he needed in his life.

FYI...Iverson said this on Twitter:

I only know what I have seen in the previews. Stay tuned for my OFFICIAL project "The Deconstruction of Allen Iverson" coming this Fall.


I wonder what was going through his head while watching this 30 for 30. He probably had all sorts of emotional highs and lows. To be a fly on the wall where AI was when watching this would have been something incredible to see.
