New book claims Allen Iverson was drunk during 'talking about practice' rant (Ball Don't Lie)

While this may sound like an episode of "Drunk History," I can assure you it's not.

According to excerpts from Kent Babb's new book, "Not a Game: The Incredible Rise and Unthinkable Fall of Allen Iverson," the former Philadelphia 76ers star was intoxicated for what is probably the most memorable press conference in NBA history — his notorious 1993 "talking about practice" exit interview.

As Babb detailed in an ESPN appearance on Thursday, three fomer members of the Sixers brass — president Pat Croce, general manager Billy King and coach Larry Brown — all shared their suspicions.
