Being from Philly it's like Allen leaving to go to Denver destroyed the whole culture of our city....
I mean, he literally affected Philly on every level from sports to nightlife. It really hasn't been the same since he got traded. Fridays on Cityline Avenue was CRAZY. Olde City was popping because of him.
Philly really needs that level of star power man.....
The older I get the more I realize I didn't realize how lucky I was to be able to see him play. It's like some of the stories about AI that come out are just incredible.....I remember someone telling me how the nikka had like 30 coronas and then the next day went out and dropped 50. lol
I'm only 27 so I was in middle and high school when AI was running wild on the scene so I missed most of the crazy moments, tho I did catch the tail end of things in 2004-2006 during my college years. I finally met dude when he came back last year and came to a club I was djing at. Truly honored to meet dude.
