AI was incredibly divisive in his time, it’s really rose colored glasses people acting like there was nothing but love for him here. Remember AI was one of the first to really bring a hip hop image into the league. Kids in the city loved him I’m sure, but old dudes in the burbs? Not so much. And of course his infamous “Practice?” line gave every suburban high school coach in a hundred mile radius a rage aneurysm
So funny when people say this to trivialize how skilled these guys are. What exactly would even be an adults game?
