May 7, 2002 is a date that members of the media
won’t let Allen Iverson live down.
On that date, Iverson infamously announced his
distaste for practice, and may have set a record for uses of the word in a
twenty minute period.
The comedic value and resulting popularity of the
press conference cannot be denied, (just check its YouTube views), and the clip
has stuck with Iverson ever since.
While he said that he wouldn’t take back what he
said given an opportunity, Iverson did use his much milder, recent retirement
press conference to revisit the infamous ‘practice’ presser, and provide some
context on it.
“It wasn’t just about that I didn’t like practice,
or didn’t care about practice or anything like that,” Iverson stated, as if to
emphasize that he understood the importance of practice.
“As far as how I expressed ‘practice, practice,
practice’ over and over again, I wouldn’t take that back because obviously that
sound bite is great for the media and for the fans, because they love it.”
Iverson is obviously okay with the attention the
clip has garnered, and he made it clear that it wasn’t his words that he
regretted so much, more so the fact that he took the podium in the first place.

“If I could go back and do it over again, I would
have never done the interview,” he continued, revealing a little remorse.
Apparently A.I. had some stuff going on in his
personal life that boiled over into the ‘practice’ presser.
“[People] had
no idea that my best friend just got killed,” he stated before touching on the
presser’s topic.
“[They] had no idea that the press conference wasn’t
about practice, the press conference was about me not being traded from
Philadelphia, that’s what I thought I was sitting down at the podium to talk
about, Iverson stated, with a slight hint of aggravation creeping into his
voice.
“You never heard anything about the reason I was
upset, or what the press conference was about.”
Whether he likes it or not, the infamous ‘practice’
press conference is a lasting part of Iverson’s legacy, so it is interesting to
hear some background information on the situation from the man himself. While
it likely was not A.I.’s favorite pastime, it seems as though his distaste for
practice as portrayed in that infamous presser, has been slightly over-stated.
