When he spoke about his momma buying him those shoes and losing the light, he was about break. Respect for the legend
Yep
Neal Sharma I saw that. ✊🏽💯♥️
Real love 🤝🏽 felt that
He’s told that story for a long time and that’s what makes people love this guy. 🐐
Man to come from nothing and grow to be bigger than life. Gotta love it!!
iverson still dress like its 2004 he a real one for that
what's real about being stuck 13 years in the past?
AngeK47 Well... he doesn't follow fashions over the years. His mind is not so manipulable to get carried away by social pressure. He simply developed his real taste and keep it over the years. That's real. Period
Timeless, bro. To quote Ghostface, AI was like "I'mma do it how I BEEN doin' it."
He has no choice in the matter sold his soul to reebok 😂😂
Considering how whack everyone is these days it's good to see him still representin real hip hop and not the bubblegum cornballs of today with their bow ties and blonde Beckham hair... Today's nba players play in daisy dukes so congrats on the nba looking like 1980's shorts and tight azz jerseys...
I felt bad when inverson said “ only time I went to the finals”
MANCHESTER UNITED that don't got nothing to do with anything but also soccer is way older than basketball is and basketball is growing worldwide super quick. in a couple decades it'll probably be worldwide
Nath4nie1 Cru2 im pretty sure bball is known worldwide even now.....
@MANCHESTER UNITED F.C The bullshit you said had literally nothing to do with the comment, just another ignorant idiot.
Yeah man my all time favorite player only been into the finals once 😔
@@DiorShiesty This idiot just spams every basketball comment with his soccer shit. Dont mind him.
*”Hip Hop and Basketball is like peanut butter and jelly”* words from a legend!
Allen Iverson is just a chill guy. I wish he was still playing
Nate T man...Real Talk
Can Özsağol Hell nah. Muggsy was like 5'5 and AI was like 6'0. And he didn't have that many injuries
Can Özsağol I did. Muggsy Bogues is actually 5'3 and AI, like I said, is 6'0
Can Özsağol he still has a high vert tho so...
This dude really bought his own shoe smh
People not from philly dont even realize how real AI is, at his prime he regularly walked the streets with no bodyguard like a regular person and always stayed humble and showed love to people, never heard a bad story about him unless it was the media. He'll always be the realest
Word
with his character, the people would sooner be his bodyguard.
I’m late but you right. he would legit ride around in his Bentley all over the city including the hood
That’s a Mother’s love right there! Their electricity got turned off so her son would be happy and have some nice shoes. And you know she got those lights back on the next day by any means. A Mother’s love is incredible! Saying that, I miss you Momma RIP ❤️🦋
*John Knee* shout out to all the caring mamas and Rest In Peace to yours ❤️
Nolimit Mars Thank you! ❤️
Aye man rest in heaven to your mom ❤ his mom sacrificed and good karma came back to her full force 😊
Lol. As a mom and someone who grew up without, I thought that comment sounded crazy as hell. Black folks.
You have to miss several months in a row for them to turn off electricity, cute story, he was lying though
fashion icon 🐐
Dude is so humble . Love that shit b
A.i. always look like he's about to cry when he talks
man went through alot lool
That's how weed smokers sound like. Like they're falling asleep all the time.
😂😂
Nah he just southern as hell
Va that's how we sound
He got emotional when he talked about the revolutions and his mom
Iverson still one of my top 10 favorite NBA players and I watched him since his days with the Hoyas which is still my favorite college team. A B-Ball legend for life!!
Bruhhhh you should have hopped out and said hi to the kid. He would have remembered that for the rest of his life
LifeworksoO that would change his life
He was so stuck he probably wasnt thinking just like wow ...
LifeworksoO he was probably in shock.
The kid would have smoked AI.High off of pcp.jk
LifeworksoO I thought he was gunna say that he signed his shoes or at least talk to him
Sixers fan or not you gotta respect The answer 🐐🐐
Danny Pauling 😂😂😂
Same, I got the classic blue Phili one lol
I'm wearing Messi's jersey
Danny Pauling I'm naked
Danny Pauling I got my shlong hanging out low rn
Damn 4 pairs of 🔥shoes for under $500 he’s not only great at basketball he’s great at shopping too
Quan Williams dudes racks got depleted thru a divorce and mismanagement- maybe he had a low ceiling
Reeboks tho
Great at shopping lol. He learned after his ass went broke
theyre reeboks lmao
lol i was disappointed. and nearly all of them his own shoe.
"Mike is my hero" - later that day crosses Mike
I neva crossed a man that didn't deserve it!😎✊🏾
It's called: RESPECT. (!)
This guy is so humble. He deserves a championship ring.
Allen got some emotional stories man...truly a legend
iverson always doing his own thing with his own swag
Sneaker shopping with Gordon ramsay
These Jordawn 6's are rawwwwww
(given a pair of Jordan’s)
Gordon Ramsay:
(inhales)
WHERE IS THE LAMB SAUCE?
(I know I’m a bit late)
😂😂😂😂💀💀💀
The sking no this shoe is rawwwwww
GR: What are you?
Joe: An idiot sneakerhead.
GR: An idiot sneakerhead what?
Joe: An idiot sneakerhead, Chef Ramsay.
I can sit in front of my computer for 24hrs straight just to watch Allen Iverson say "practice".
CASHBAG GG lol
CASHBAG GG no you can't you will only probably do it for only like 5 minutes then you would be annoyed
Sosa King oh so y'all homies? How you gonna tell him what he can't do lol.
Devin Shamel yea i know him he cant last 23 seconds
CASHBAG GG not the game, not the game, we talking bout practice.😂
when the cashier say 4 55 to me, I'm usually thinking $4.55, not $455 😂
Lovie Brown same shit
Not bad for FOUR pair...when you really think about it
King's Son honestly yeah
Lovie Brown fucking one Pa or of some Jordan's cost that and why he look like he fitten to cry on every question
He was sale shopping, y'all seen those goofy ass pumas he grabbed
The best dribbler ever to walk on the court hands down
@Trey321 Godsloveld@gmail.com Kyries real father
No
Isaiah Thomas pistons
A.I. Definitely Kyries basketball father
Best handles really maybe breathing life into the crossover catches them every time
As dynamic and entertaining as he was as an athlete, Iverson is one of the most laid back, humble and quiet dudes ever. Respect!
The day you guys do an episode with MJ the internet is going to break.
amosrivera13 he would only buy Jordans though. Because he wouldn't promote brands that compete against him
John Control *everyone always buys Jordans anyway.*
MARX MILL *i also use boldface to beg for attention on my comments*
AI just did the same thing
amosrivera13 also Obama or Eminem.
Has a deal with reebok, still buys reeboks? I can't be the only one who thought that
Jon Esposito yeah that's smart he knows it's going viral so obviously he's going to try & advertise for a brand that he's with
its a lifetime deal he prob cant wear other shoes
Jon Esposito He will be refunded
Yeah Rippin is right. That's the annoying part, they can't talk or do much because he's trapped in a contract
Murtaza Dhanerawala I saw him in Jordan 11s before
This man is the most underrated 🐐
FACTS
No
@@Big_x-mw2zx no your life
Nah. Kyrie curry will merk him
He change the stories of the basketball game beacuse no what under 1,85 m
“It should be easy to be yourself.” Big facts!
Sneaker shopping with Joe La Puma where Sean Evans from Hot Ones interviews him while they browse the shelves and eat hot wings then Emily Oberg gives a news update on what happened to Joe afterwards.
Zachary J. Taylor no
Zachary J. Taylor Emily left
It's cool, she can still update.
This sounds like a Complex situation...
You already know Allen went back and returned everything
Eddie Spazbo lmaoo
Fuck u mean he just got 50 mill from a reebok deal
DaddyTV but he gon blow it all in a year
Reebok did NOT give him a $50M deal.. It was a $32M trust fund, that he gets when he turns 55 yrs old BUT when he was married to Tawanna he signed an agreement if he fucked Tawanna over in their relationship, she would be rewarded the money and he did and she filed for divorce. Tawanna being a good woman signed back over $16M of it and took half of the $32M. BUT, Reebok DOES pay him $800,000/year FOR LIFE AND he also gets money from the NBA, after an NBA player retires after being in the league for at least 10 years they get a pension of $8,000/month which would be worth about $1.5M in a lump sum.
+Big Turbo 91' Geo Metro (Houston Is My City) well still he ain broke
Awww Iverson so sweet ❤️
Still my favorite all time player!🙌🏾

Money Talk get this man top comment
Money Talk YES DO TRAVIS!!!
Money Talk HAS TO HAPPEN

He touring right now, we can only pray
Loyalty for reebok he cant buy jordans even if he want not on camera. He's still tied for Rebook. And im glad that Rebook really taking care of him. Nice vlog....
Staying classy and loyal to his brand I remember watching him play and the announcer would say when he plays and his I think sister and auntie was around he had the freshest braids and rows but when they weren't able to travel he had the fro on court back in the good ol days haha
Nice man
Fuck this, I'm trying to see Sneaker shopping with Obama
Clout Chasers 4 yes
Check out lovelisserve
🔥
Thats facts
I think this was the lowest purchase total on this show. Allen Iverson is a baller on a budget
it's like a pro version of me going to footlocker/champs for the buy one, get one 50% off
Mateusz Janik look at his neck
Justin S that shits probably just his savings account hanging on his neck
Cause Reebok is not overpriced like Nike and adidas
Mateusz Janik 😎😎😂
i keep rewatching this over the years since it came out.... much respect...... plus those prices are retail, still shocks me to this day
wait bruh he really payed money for his own shoe?
WELL IT DOESNT MATTER GOES THE MONEY GOES BACK TO HIM
Suvan Khanna true 💀
No it doesn't. Flight Club is a reseller.
He gets free Reebok shoes for life, all he has to do is call the company for whatever he buys and he gets reimbursed... most athletes especially ones with their own signature shoes have similar deals
Jordan TheusBrook fr doe
it's true westbrook has heart for the game like iverson had.. it's dope that iverson mentioned him
sneaker shopping with chief keef
Symv C yeah
my man
Symv C yeah do chief keef
agree
love sossa gbe
TRU
this guy gave me a love so strong for basketball and also brought fun to the game with his sick cross over and attitude. a true idol
Allen Iverson is awesome. 😍😍😍
"Let's talk some Reebok" Pretty sure nobody has EVER said that before lmao
Harrib0 _ reebok is dope, stop being dumb
Harrib0 _ shit had me rolling Haha
Harrib0 _ Jordan was my competition is something nobody else can say either
Reebok has been suck since it merged with Adidas lol
Personally I hate everything nike outside of what they released in the early 90's. I'd take any reeboks from the 80's before nike.
Sneaker shopping with 2pac hologram. ty
Black Caesar damn...
i wish 2pac was still alive
Black Caesar were you even alive when he was?
yes, i was and why does it matter?
Black Caesar he is dead fucker
Always been there for A.I. Got every one of his shoes in every color. Love this dude.
The most humble Superstar
The man so original and copped what he like and not what everybody else wearing. Forever in my top 5 basketball players of all time
*Allen Iverson: "Being authentic is the most important thing in life."*
*Also Allen Iverson: pretends to only want Reebok shoes from the whole store's collection because of his deal*
Ondřej Kunc I agree with you, bro. Maybe that is who he is. He is an authentic sell-out (when it comes to his shoe deal). He's still "authentic", though.
On a side note: I bet 50 bones that he went back into the store after the interview and returned them jawns 😂💸💸💸
Make sense tho, lifetime contract that's paying him millions.
+Onyx Freeman that is still pretending even if it is for his job
if it's his job to only use reebok then he is not pretending at all. that's part of the deal. he said it so himself in this video that he has no choice. endorsement deals 101 son
emotional BoJack Horseman in a pop punk kind of way yah but he really wants the jordans that not being authentic. being real would be him buying the jordans
such a chill dude & humble
Man, I have always respected this brotha. #Salute
Sneaker and Clothes shopping with Russell Westbrook
um yes please
King Andis, hell just end up buying a bunch of towels, tying them together and call that a shirt
Hell yeah bro
Eitan Minyan what
Noooo
Sneaker shopping with Travis Scott
GOAT. So happy he was in Philly for all that time. He gave us so much when he was there and I’m forever grateful to AI.
Iverson a G he bought all his joints lls I'd do it too
Why buy them when he could just hit up reebok to send him those pairs 🤔
advertising
I think Reebok pays for this episode to advertise shoes.
Michael Rosario I don't think they pay for the kicks, somebody else is flipping the bill
isgrad07 Of Course, AI didn't pay.
Michael Rosario he will send them the cheque
"No brainer. Westbrook" That's why he's my favorite current playing player mow
Dam them chains
Is hitting💯🔥💯
Allen was conservative with his purchases. I Respect that ✊🏾💯
He good letting folk think he broke... comfortable with self.
@@chaunceychappelle2173 he filed for bankruptcy 2009 due to the money he owed and his assets, so yeah, he is broke.
@@ncm2738 That was 11 years ago though... not to mention that he's getting paid at least $1M/yr by Reebok. I'm pretty sure he has bounced back... losing it all will make you better with money once you get it again lol
@@senaawl true
sneaker shop with travis scott
I bet osn bout to react to this.
COOL ASS
YRN Jon Swavyy you errwhere boy
It's me Reacts cool ass
you everywhere man
ajani johnson how 😂😂
Loved this interview!
4:56 Rocking the Blackhawks hat. Sick.
you know the GOAT AI didn't "practice" in this video
The word 'practice' doesn't exist in his vocabulary
Davidydong You talking what?? Not the game
We just watched Lapstone and Hammer sell their only 4 Reeboks of 2017
AI a true legend and very humble
Iverson bought his own shit 😂😂😂
Young Manchen why would u when u can get it for free
goku uchiha y don't u say for it u cheap poor fuck. That's the mentality that u will always be poor
He can't buy nothing else he's signed to Reebok
"Hip-Hop and Basketball is like peanut butter & Jelly" - Allen Iverson 🔥🔥🙏🙏
Whats the point of sneaker shopping if you're buying your own shoes that you get for free?
Obinna Onuoha right
Obinna Onuoha promotion
he can't buy other shoes cause he has a contract with reebok
Obinna Onuoha for the culture
He know he got some hidden gems in the closet, them 350s a couple retros😂
We talkin´about practise, PRACTISE! I love Allen Iverson, one of my favorite players of all time! I´d wish I had league pass in the 90´s...
Allen is a g, always will be my favorite basketball player 🙏🏼
I hate when they in a contract and they can only buy their shoes
DA Chief Rich YG That's what the contract means. 😕
DA Chief Rich YG u dumb asf 😂😂😂😂
He gets paid a lot.
King_jay 003 0
DA Chief Rich YG barely
One of the most underrated players and pop icons for that matter. He paved the way for the intertwining of basketball and hip hop.
Man it really makes me want to get some shoes right now after watching these sneakers shopping series.
And solute to the Answer forever.
How did u get the 🐐🐐 on sneaker shopping?
DeKyle LeRozan Lebron .?

Sneaker Shopping with Lebron.
Sneaker Shopping with Giannis.
Sneaker Shopping with Paul George.
Sneaker Shopping with Slim Shady.
Cooper Thompson lol donald will say I'm going to make a shoe and the name is going to be the wall
Cooper Thompson yes
Shaq would get pissed though once he starts asking the employees where his shoes are at.
Timothy Brown Ctfuuuuu 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭
Sneaker shopping with none of them
I love how instead of color ways he says "flavors"
I come from an island in the middle of the ocean, and would tune in to a german channel to watch nba games at 3am to see MJ play. When he retired I lost interest, but then one faithful night I saw this talent from Philly and fell in love with basketball all over again! What I mean by that is that AI was so out of this world that I became completely absorbed by his game. He was my GOAT after 23 retired. Still is. Always get a smile on my face when I see him!
My dad bought me the blue questions on a business trip in philly. They only had the red ones in California at the time. I was the only 7th grader rocking those blues for at least a year. Got so much attention in those kicks. My favorite kicks so comfortable.
Sneaker Shopping with Gaddafi
lmaooooo
😂😂😂😂😂😂
If you think Allen Iverson is broke you crazy.
Asset 2013
The value of Iverson's NBA pension which would be available in 2021
$1,400,000
The value of Iverson's trust fund which would be available in 2030
$32,000,000
Plus whatever Reebok pays him.
Ricky Mad but I think ppl tend to think athlete broke and normal broke is the same cuz maybe he got million in the bank HOWEVER I heard for example he get in the clubs for free and get drinks for free
Ricky Mad he's not gonna get his 32 mil cuz he broke the terms of his contract. Look it up
That might be too much for a normal person but if you waste your money like crazy, I'm sure even with that ammount of money he may be broke
He spent all his money in stupid shit
Yes he signed a postnuptial agreement which states he cannot violate certain terms or he stands to lose the entire trust to his ex wife. His ex wife stuck with it but in a nice gesture she decided to give half of it back. They are currently on good terms and working on things. In any case he does not get the trust fund until is he 55 so it could still change by then.
This dude made me fall in love with 🏀
Nipsey had his own Reebok as well 💯💯💯💯
The Fucking GOAT
why everybody saying he broke?
lol true
+M.B.R. LA he aint broke he still got the shoe deal so ofc he gon cop reeboks
he went bankrupt but he has millions in a bank account that he cannot access until he is 50 years old.
he gets payed 1mil a year from a trust in reebok
A million dollars after taxes is nothing to a guy who has high bills to pay.
Will always love Iverson 2018 make sure you check out his documentary
Taneka Bellamy ye its lit 🔥🔥🔥
One of the OGs when it comes to style.
As if he has to pay for his own sneakers?? wtf
Kaden Horsley he has a contract
I knew someone had to be thinking what i was thinking.Like is he really about to pay for his own shoe?
caliph baskins its just another way of advertising and working according to the contract
lol Reebok refunded him the check an hour later, also rapper buy their own albums and politicians vote for themselves in elections.....so
Kaden Horsley I work at champs in charlotte and AI pull up on the regular copping kicks #facts
why he bought his own signature shoe don't he already get them for free
lilSwagg201 Almighty__royce He's smart, Advertising..
lilSwagg201 Almighty__royce He cant buy any other shoes because he has a deal with reebok
Joseph A man that's like if drake dropped a album today and went to all the stores and bought all the copys for himself tho
No bec the idea is that Iverson knows its going to go viral
yea exactly. artists buy their own albums for the same reason. easy advertising
"Took a ass beating" to be one to rock what he want. Huge impact today. #3
My all time favorite player, all love big bro!
you guys should go for more nba legends like this ,

i was on pornhub but as soon as i saw "allen ive..." i just came faster.
