15 years ago today, Allen Iverson was talking about practice

On May 7th, 2002, Philadelphia 76ers star Allen Iverson held a post-playoffs press conference just a few days after being eliminated by the Boston Celtics in the first round. Iverson had been the MVP during the 2000-01 season, but his frustration with Sixers head coach Larry Brown came to a head after Brown called out Iverson for missing practice after the Sixers season came to a close. In a press conference that was broadcast live, Iverson (often profanely) vented on everything from his status as a franchise player to practice to the rumors his daughter has to deal with at school.
