I caught myself smiling too when that part came on.Originally Posted by DoubleJs07
well put, Dre and I agree....that %$%% infuriated me last night. She didn't give a crap about anything but herself until she knew how good her son was at basketball. That's what happens when kids have kids....AI had a lot on his shoulders from the time he was a little boy. And now people have the nerve to call him out and question why he isn't doing more when the man is sitting up on stage CRYING during a low-key presser for his scholarship fund he created. I mean %$%%....how much more can he do and extend himself? At some point you gotta do something for yourself instead of trying to rely on Iverson to give hand outs....
The other thing that was sad but funny was how the tourist brochure was spun to not say that the African were brought over to the Hampton Roads area as slaves...rather they were African men and women who came over to the US looking for jobs
Even though this was an Iverson documentary...(and as I've said before) there were many other DEEPER layers to the story than just AI himself. You got a real look at some of the racial inequalities that plagued (and still do) many communities right under your noses. You got an impromptu history lesson of how things are spun to hide the truth (brochure)...and it goes on and on.
Out of all of the 30 for 30's this was my favorite....
*I can't be the only one who was cheesin' when Iverson got his diploma. I really felt happy for the guy. The smile he had on that day was priceless. You could tell how much that meant to him.
