Allen Iverson. While most know of Iverson as a dominant basketball player who was an eleven-time NBA All Star, he’s probably more well known for his infamous rant back in 2002 about…practice. Iverson was asked by a member of the media about missing a practice and he went on a two-minute-long rant that stands right up there with some of the best rants in sports history.
Iverson is a longtime Atlanta Braves fan and recently lent his services to the Braves organization in a commercial for their new ballpark, which is being criticized for not having enough parking. The commercial is a spoof of the infamous “practice” rant, where “practice” is simply replaced with “parking.”
Good to see that after 15 years, Iverson has a good sense of humor about the whole thing! Check out the commercial, as well as the original practice rant below!
