That was on some real shyt tho, now the nikka AI can holla at the young nikkaz on some OG shyt gettin real ass interviews out of them instead of that robotic PC bullshyt. Imagine him rappin to that nikka Rose? He prolly wouldn't be so mute then. :ld:

I def agree with this.You rarely see athletes have honest and comfortable conversations. If a network could figure out how to do that regularly ESPN would get thrown in the bushes...

That's what I'm sayin, if Fox was serious they'd peep the swindle. Only thing is AI would need to be more versatile than some heartfelt interviews.

He may have put the thought in his mind, but GP didnt cause that rant, the media did.

This was in 2002 when he was banged up all year, and the Philly media was putting a lot of pressure on him, and he basically had enough of it. They was asking everyday on the radio and in the papers why he wasnt practicing.

HE WAS HURT :beli:

This rant gets blown out of proportion because people dont know the context of it.

Everybody wants to talk about the practice part but as a person who watched every second of the press conference my favorite part was when he asked reporter if he ever played ball. The reporter was like "Yeah" and mentioned some high school or college shyt and :aicmon: was like "Well I ain't never heard of you". :dead:
